B 12 I LIVE IT: THE PROVINCE
Think pink! Movie star Eva Mendes shows us how it's done at
the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York.
Pink is the new black? Um, no. Pink is pink. But it's the fastest
way to girly up a get-up, no matter what the month. Try a dusty
hue of raspberry in the form of a floaty chemise (avec skinny
denim? So London lass) or perhaps a pale pink cotton tank for
Sunday mornings (adorable with pouchy olive Maharishi pants),
a saucy poolside polish (in a shade you'd see only in a candyjar),
Havaianas' pinkest pair on the market (total must have) a chunky
-funky ring (so Cameron Diaz) or an on the town gown in the
key of Eva Mendes.
Only piece of advice? An over-the-top love affair with p-i-n-k
could land you in fashion's glamour stammer if it's handled
recklessly. Leave the Legally Blonde look to those pouty bar
stars, you fashion pro you.
