Pretty in Pink is Not Only a Movie


March 4, 2010


This spring it is all about embracing our feminine side. Pink is making quite the comeback in 2010 and deep down, every woman loves the colour.  Most of us donned tons of it when we were little before the rebel teenager kicked in, then the clubbing university adult and the professional with suits and more suits.

Over time we lost this fabulous shade over our endless identities, but 2010 is helping you welcome it once again.  Now, don’t get scared off just yet.  I’m not only talking about bubblegum pink, but fuchsia, coral, rose, salmon, French rose and baby pink. There are endless choices of shades coming out this spring that you can incorporate into your wardrobe, starting with a blazer from shopbop.com. 

If you’re looking for a more subtle look, Pencey’s Drapey Blazer is a fabulous find. Any soft pink or coral shade automatically gives any colour of skin you may have an instant glow because of its warm tones. 


Adding a touch of colour in a pattern is also a way to incorporate pink without being too overwhelming. Anthropologie's Happy Hour Cardigan is a button down sweater with geometric prints that has hints of pink. If you even find a bright pink patterned shirt and throw on a dark grey or black sweater, you'd be quite the trendsetter this spring. Remember that just a punch of colour is necessary to achieve this hot new look.
Accessories can also achieve this hot spring style. Make a statement with Coach’s new arrival of totes, especially their Peyton Embossed Exotics fuchsia pink bag. This is not only a fantastic tote, but the colour really defines it. It’ll pop out against neutral raincoats and leather jackets. Other accessories to think about are scarves, watches, chunky necklaces and flower headbands.
