I’m not really much of a pink girl (although salmon suits me fine), which doesn’t bode well for me this year, considering Pantone’s pick of Honeysuckle Pink as the color of the year. Even though I’ve already had my fill of hearing about honeysuckle, I’d hate to be totally out of the loop. So I’ve been perusing options of pushing a little pink into my life in a more subtle way. Accessories seem to be the answer.

vintage van cleef
vuitton – love its 60′s vibe
valentino petale flap bag – I seem to be stuck in the v’s for some reason – I’ll move on
longchamp – will look even better folded I think
nancy gonzalez
oscar de la renta – there’s some pink in there!!
alexandre birman – beautiful go with everything!
and a flat alternative – dior – so chic with white pants and pale pink toes!

stella mccartney hydrangea wool crepe jacket – LOVE this – goes with every color I own – ivory, navy, black, gray, brown etc. I’m thinking over all white it would also be a dream.
the new josie maran argan color sticks – “The Argan-oil infused color stick is a sheer tint that gives lasting, natural- looking color to cheeks and lips” – love its dual purpose.
nina ricci – for when there’s still a chill in the air
or one of imperio jp’s beautiful thai silk bubble shawls to throw over your shoulders.
bulgari – for my ultra fantasy pick – I’m allowed.
balenciaga – fashion doesn’t get much more fun than this! OK – I’m ready – bring on the honeysuckle pink!
UPDATED NOTE: For all of you who enjoy your honeysuckle straight up undiluted, take a hop over to My Dog Eared Pages, where a host of honeysuckle promises to lift your spirits!
LOVE all the bags in this post! gorgeous!

I like pink, especially as an accent. Although my husband wouldn’t be such a fan if I used it in the house.
I adore this particularly shade of pinkey nude, particularly as an accessory. I’m kvelling over everything Q…as usual!
Hi Debbi – me too – I can’t wear bright pink but this soft, more neutral shade is fabulous and so versatile and flattering!
All these lovely pinks are warming my heart! So pretty.
Hi Janet – yes, this warm pink is a lovely flattering good on everyone shade!
Hi Janet – This shade suits me just fine – it’s the warmth that makes it work!
Thank you everyone for all your lovely comments. I was swamped yesterday and didn’t have a moment to respond to anyone who wrote then but I’m glad you enjoyed my picks and please know I appreciate your taking the time!
I must say… I’m going for the full-on pink Nina Ricci gloves. I love them!!
mdep – Yes, they were my one concession to the full-on color – even I like them!!
Love the jacket! i guess pink is in the air…I was even wearing pink ski pants yesterday to brighten the grey sky and to make sure i can be found and retrieved if i fall into deep snow..
Francine – Isn’t the jacket fabulous? So simple, elegant and the perfect color! Love that you have pink ski pants – I got my daughter a pink ski helmet a couple of years ago for quick identification purposes on the slopes as well – of course deep powder isn’t an issue here :-(
