Pretty in Pink: Eight Blushing Items We Want Now

I was cringing a little bit when Lauren’s rant last week about girly design. I love anything pink. Right now I’m typing on a Macbook covered in a hot pink shell, have a Blackberry with a fuchsia skin, and am reading from notes in my watermelon hued journal. Mind you, I don’t dress in pink from head to toe, but I have quite a bit of pink in my closet. Not sweet pink. Loud pink. Is it only for tweens? Well, I’m the most, um, mature writer at Fashionista. I mean age, not experience and wisdom. So I’m either regressing or empowered. I’m not really sure. Just in time for the height of summer, here are my favorite pink things. Please, use them sparingly. nextpage

How To Get Pink Hair (We Tried It!)

I just dyed my hair pink. It’s the perfect moment in fashion to do such a silly thing--we noticed the pink hair trend a few weeks ago and the Telegraph just did a piece on Charlotte Free, the pink-haired model who’s walked everywhere this season. So I decided to take the Pepto-Bismol plunge. When people look at me quizzically, I’ve been telling them, “Oh, I did it for a story.” Just like Holly Millea, who is my beauty editor idol. (She’s the one who writes about her “Beauty Adventures” for Elle--she’s been practically maimed in the pursuit of beauty. I love her.)
