I’m not exactly sure how it happened or why.  I just found myself gravitating to all shades of pink.   Who knew that I would succumb to the color that I shunned for decades — and willingly too!   Up until recently, I did not have anything of this saccharine hue in my wardrobe.  Then the unexplainable happened.   I bought a pair of hot pink shoes and then some accessories.   These purchases may have forever piqued my fashion fervor  to  lean towards Barbie’s favorite color.
For the first time this year, Pantone has chosen the pairing of two shades as color of the year – rose quartz and serenity blue.   According to Pantone’s official page, Rose quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure.  Serenity is weightless and airy, bringing feelings of respite and relaxation even in turbulent times.   Blue has always been the color of any given year for me.  Navy, royal or powder blue – I like it in all its shades.  Now, however, it’s time to explore the  power of pink.
Hot  Hues
Hot pink  in small servings works!  Donning sneakers with everything is all the rage now.  Since this is already a striking color,  I suggest wearing these with white, denim or muted apparel.

Perfect Pair
I found these ultra comfortable flats from local manufacturer Bella in a Christmas bazaar in the South and was immediately attracted to its animal print design done in pink and blue.  Mix and match these with handmade  accessories  from House of Heirloom and you’re ready to go.

The Girl In You
Rihanna wore volumes of pink when she attended the Grammy’s  last year. Remember her dramatic super last minute entrance in her cupcake gown?   Newly-crowned Ms Universe Pia Wurtzbach donned a terno in pink and white when she made her courtesy call at Malacanang last Tuesday. And just today,  Sofia Vergara walked the red carpet wearing head to toe hot pink in the SAG Awards.  If these women can embrace pink, so can we!

The new year has brought a lot of changes.   Change is definitely good.  Opening up ourselves to possibilities in small or big doses means we choose to experience life.  My gosh, even my Iphone 6splus is rosegold!   My 4year old daughter certainly approves.  More of my fab finds and adventures next week!

Open up yourself to everything pink this year!

  1. Love pink in different shades. It is not my first favorite but pink is forever. It is the color of women. I love your finds and article. I must say, you wear that pink lipstick very well too Paulyne. Keep wearing pink as Pink Wife thinks you are always fabulous in that shade.

  2. I’m not also a fan of pink color but with your feature I think I’ll start to collect things with that shade.
    Love the Aldo and Kate Spade Sneakers that perfectly matches a denim and the pink accessories. Also the flast from Bella 🙂
    Go go Pink! 🙂 Thank you for sharing.
