Bring on the pink! Pink has been seen everywhere this season, in florals, accessories, new makeup collections and even shoes! There are so many hues to play with… bright neons, elegant ruffles and plain pink. If you own or are seeking to own something pink to wear this spring remember to wear it with style. I don’t usually wear pink, apart from makeup, so for me spring is a great excuse to try it out!

Hollywood glamour oozes with pink. Pink is highly popular with celebrities and is widely seen on the red carpet. It’s popularity is inspired by 1950s fashion as can be seen by Hollywood actresses such as Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Dandridge.
