trend watch: TICKLED PINK

Every woman looks pretty in pink!  Pink shades reflect a rosey hue on your skin which brightens you up and gives you a glow. 


Kristin Davis and Diane Kruger both look stunning in their bright pink gowns.  While you might not have an occassion to wear a floor length neon pink gown you can still incorporate this bold hue into your summer wardrobe... and of course you can do it for less at Badjoan.com!


We've got some adorable summer dresses in various shades of pink!  The Venice Jumper by Doie is flattering and comfortable.  This piece is made from eco-friendly organic cotton and features a square neck, criss cross back, empire waist and bubble skirt.  Wear it with sandals or heels depending on the occassion.  The Tamara Halter Dress by Candice Held is a little bit sexier but still comfortable and easy to throw on.  This dress features a triangle top with halter neck tie and a simple balloon print on the skirt.  It is made from a soft and lightweight dishtowel-like cotton which gives it a vintage feel.  Great for the beach, a casual day or a night out.  Folds easily so it's perfect for a vacation!



Summer means a visit (or hopefully many visits) to the beach!  A bright and sexy pink swimsuit and cover up will keep you glowing without having to take in too much sun!  We love the Hot Pink String Bikini and the Two Tone Silk Chiffon dress both by Purp7e Agua.  These pieces look great together or separate!


Last but not least you'll need some pink accessories!  The Tucker Paisley Joey Clutch is a total must have, it's sophisticated enough for night but big enough and bright enough for day!  And keep the sun out off your face in style with the Purp7e Agua Large Crochet Hat, looks great by the pool or out and about!  Best part is this hat is only $16 right now in our Blowout Section!

Most of the items can be found in our Memorial Weekend Sale section where you can get an additional 10% off this weekend only!  Simply enter the code MEM10 at checkout to redeem the discount on selected items!
