In the Pink

Bright pink is emerging as one of the must have colours for spring summer 09. It is a happy, flamboyant and energising colour and there are many variations to suit most hair colours and skin tones. If you want to wear bright pink for maximum effect, a dress is the only way to go. It will really get you noticed and you can be sure that no one ignore you. On the catwalks, bright pink was teamed with tangerine orange for a really juicy combination. You could also try teaming bright pink with a neutral or beige colour for a slightly toned down effect.

Bright pink looks amazing with beading or embellishment for an evening dress. Opt for a bubblegum pink for a feminine girly look and deeper more purple tones for a more exotic and tropical look.

Richard Nicholl - Spring Summer 09 - a minimalist look using bright pink with accents of orange and light pink.

Luella - Spring Summer 09 - a very feminine bright pink combined with lavender coloured lace

Max Mara - Spring Summer 09 - a bright pink satin jumpsuit is the ultimate in luxury.

I love this high street version of the catwalk look - Pink satin Oasis dress . It would look great teamed with a simple, elegant and contemporary style of necklace like this Lily necklace.
