(CNN Spanish) — I love the trend of a “fashion in pink”, to enjoy a charming “life in pink”, as the romantic and beautiful song La Vie en Rose says, which the unforgettable Edith Piaf sang with her soul. . And watching the latest fashion shows–and the red carpets of many events, like the Grammy Awards, for example–the presence of the color pink was a vibrant touch of joy and glamour. gala!

In addition to that tender and soft baby-pink, which looks so good on pale blonde women –and with a serene and delicate personality–. Just like we love accessories! Shoes, divine bags, costume jewelry, a whole world of new designs in pink. Bravo! Color in fashion –as we all know– has a lot to do with the personality and style of each person. And with wearing what makes us feel good! There are women who look (and feel) regal with vibrant and dramatic colors, such as reds, yellows and intense pinks, almost neon-pink. Others reject certain colors with a passion, and only feel good in black (I confess to being one of them) or in the purity of white. And there are “beige women”, who feel comfortable and elegant without attracting attention –just using colors-no-colors, very neutral– and beige or sand color are their best ally. This is how human beings are and the use of color is something very personal.

And a metallic pink bag, like Ximena Kavalekas’s, is a touch that changes and modernizes any look. I encourage you to check them out! It’s just that pink — almost as an exception — is a cute and flattering color that almost all of us like, and since we were little girls it’s one of our favorite colors. Right yes? And this summer season we will see it in all kinds of designs. And in the midst of a world full of conflicts, pink is a refreshing and certainly very welcome trend.
