Summer Style forecast: Pink n' Pretty

A surprisingly sweet acessory like  UES Chuck Buckle Sneakers in pink denim ( $175 at tipsntrends.com) can perk up your casual look.  We love these 80's inspired-but-not-tired high tops for a new spin on the retro-sneaker trend.

For the less color-skittish among us a vibrant raspberry sundress, like this Banana Republic faux wrap, can be an elegant twist on the trend when paired with neutral accessories and low-key hair. Not going over-board is the key to looking stylish, not silly, so skip the scrunchies, the bakelite bracelets, and any other over-the-top 80s references when rocking a frock in this hue.

Finally, nobody does bags likes Marc Jacobs, and this Marc by Marc hobo, in a pleasing pink ($502 at zappos.com) is no exception. The price tag may be a little steep, but the relaxed modern shape and well placed pockets makes us feel like this is one 'investment' piece worth considering. ( or at least keep an eye out for at Loehmann's!)
