Honeysuckle is hawt

One thing I love the most about spring and summer fashion is the return of bold and bright colors. Every year, thereโ€™s one color that stands out that I have to have, and this year that color is honeysuckle.

Itโ€™s everywhere!
Shoes, handbags, tops, skirts, jewelry, dressesโ€ฆ Oh my ๐Ÿ˜‰

I just love how itโ€™s more pink than orange, super girly and screams summertime.

    I have the OPI polish I think! Itโ€™s how I ring in summer! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I donโ€™t get it, honeysuckles are golden/yellow! I love this shade of pink, but would have never thought in a million years itโ€™d be called honeysuckle ๐Ÿ˜› I want that BCBG dress (and also a reason to wear it would be cool!).

      Thatโ€™s exactly what I was thinking!!!! Weird to think pink with honeysuckle, Iโ€™ll take anything pink!

      • Kelly @foodiefresh on June 14, 2011 at 4:34 pm

        That was my initial reaction too. I love the color, but honeysuckle is yellow. But, Iโ€™m a fan of anything pink!

    • Amanda on June 17, 2011 at 1:58 pm

      Iโ€™m glad I wasnโ€™t the only one thinking this. I didnโ€™t pay attention to the entire post because I was trying to think of a point in time (like pre-bloom or something) that honeysuckles have pink in themโ€ฆ

        Here in Minnesota we have honeysuckle that is mostly this color with yellow tips. ๐Ÿ™‚

    love the coral/honeysuckle colors for this season. i have quite a few dresses and accent pieces in the color and my favorite colors to pair them with has been a brushed gold and navy/white. LOVE that BCBG dress!

  4. Laura @ Meet Virginia on June 14, 2011 at 1:59 pm

    I love that color! I picked my blog header to be โ€œhoneysuckleโ€ colored because I heard it was the color of the year! ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. Danielle on June 14, 2011 at 2:00 pm

    I love the Express dress, it looks comfy!

  6. Hayley @ Hayley Daily on June 14, 2011 at 2:03 pm

    I adore that color and that DRESS (my gawd!)โ€ฆunfortunately I donโ€™t think honeysuckle goes with my bright red hair. :/ I do wear it on my nails though. I have an OPI color very similar to that (Strawberry Margarita).

  7. Holly @ Pink Runner on June 14, 2011 at 2:04 pm

    Ahhhh I loveeeeeee honeysuckle because itโ€™s PINK!! ๐Ÿ™‚ Loveeeee the dresses!

  8. Laura @ prettylittlewords on June 14, 2011 at 2:05 pm

    Loooooooove the Express dress โ€” making me want to go shopping now! I agree, this color is the perfect mix between magenta and coral ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat on June 14, 2011 at 2:07 pm

    LOOOOVE that shade! Youโ€™ve inspired me to hunt down some honeysuckle nail polish!

  10. Monika @ Powered by Paprika on June 14, 2011 at 2:08 pm

    I absolutely adore that nail polish color.. fighting the urge not to order it online right now!

  11. Emily on June 14, 2011 at 2:09 pm

    I am loving this color, too! I just found a dress online that I am going to get in this color, one sleeved, something new to me!

  12. lightlygildedlily on June 14, 2011 at 2:11 pm

    I ADORE the first dress. By the way, so happy for you + the pilot. Iโ€™ve had to catch up on a lot of posts and Iโ€™m thrilled youโ€™re going to introduce a little zumba-ing plane flying goat cheese eating bundle of love to the world ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Fitnessista on June 14, 2011 at 6:49 pm

      haha! thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

  13. Alanna on June 14, 2011 at 2:16 pm

    I love that nail color! I have to get some! I just bought a purse in that color and Iโ€™m loving it for summer!

  14. Amanda- The Nutritionist Reviews on June 14, 2011 at 2:19 pm

    I love that color! Very fun for summer.

  15. Theorist on June 14, 2011 at 2:22 pm

    I love that color! So that is what it is called. I used to have a ton of shirts from jcrew outlet in this colorโ€ฆ
    I also think it looks fab with a spot (or 2) of turquoise, yellow, or olive green. Just saying ; ^)

  16. SaraRM on June 14, 2011 at 2:27 pm

    I must buy that nail polish ASAP! I also love the express dress, I almost bought it the other day but they didnt have my sizeโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ™

  17. Ilana on June 14, 2011 at 2:29 pm

    um. those shorts. getting them right now.
    iโ€™ve NEVER been a pink girl but this year this color is screaming at me. love it.

  18. Laura @ Backstage Pass on June 14, 2011 at 2:33 pm

    LOVE this color! I have a flowy top from Bebe in this hue that just feels like summer!
    I love that this shade goes with nice antique wash denim, too.

  19. Keelie (SweatEqualsSuccess) on June 14, 2011 at 2:33 pm

    Iโ€™m DROOLING over those topshop shorts! With a cream colored cami and nude platform heels??!! GURRRRLLLLโ€ฆโ€ฆ

    • Fitnessista on June 14, 2011 at 2:34 pm

      omg YES.

  20. Kara on June 14, 2011 at 2:33 pm

    Iโ€™m gonna combine two recent fashion posts.. I so badly want your new MJ bag IN honeysuckle. Anyone have any idea where I could find something like that???

  21. Mac on June 14, 2011 at 2:37 pm

    Pink is my favorite color and Iโ€™m loving that shade!

  22. Chelsea @ Go Chelsea Go! on June 14, 2011 at 2:37 pm

    I was actually looking at dresses online in that color! Rent The Runway has a Zac Posen dress in that color that is just gorgeous.

  23. britt on June 14, 2011 at 2:48 pm

    i am loving the nordstrom top and express dress. this is such a great color!!

  24. Leanne (Bride to Mrs.) on June 14, 2011 at 3:26 pm

    I looooooove this color. I really wish express would ship to Canada because i really love their stuff.

  25. Kelly b on June 14, 2011 at 3:29 pm

    So glad I found your blog about a year ago! As a mom, I am so excited to see you start a family. I would love to see some fun boot camp style workouts to do on a track and maybe even with a jogging stroller!
    thanks for what you do!

  26. Holly @ The Runny Egg on June 14, 2011 at 3:35 pm

    My uncle got married a few weekends ago and his now wife (my aunt in law I suppose!) picked honeysuckle as her wedding color โ€” it was so summery and so beautiful!

  27. Christine (The Raw Project) on June 14, 2011 at 3:47 pm

    Love the color, so bright and cheery. I actually have a similar color on today, so I guess so. ๐Ÿ™‚

  28. Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga on June 14, 2011 at 4:10 pm

    Oh I am loving the honeysuckle color. I have always loved peachey/fuscia-ish shades in the honeysuckle family. They are just so feminine and I love them. They look good on pale skin to tanned skin to dark skin, too, I thinkโ€ฆuniversally flattering!

    I got married in a hot pink/honeysuckle-ish Betsey Johnson dress ๐Ÿ™‚

  29. ashleyTIA on June 14, 2011 at 4:29 pm

    This color will look so good with your dark hair!

  30. Jill on June 14, 2011 at 4:51 pm

    I actually own the dress from the last picture โ€” Iโ€™m excited to wear it to a casual summer wedding in a few weeks!!! Love honeysuckle ๐Ÿ™‚ โ€” I just didnโ€™t know that was the name of it!

  31. Christina on June 14, 2011 at 4:56 pm

    I LOVE honeysuckle!! I almost want that to be the color of my girls bridal dresses for my wedding! I also see your nails have kept up, woot!!! Mine always chip within like 3 days.

  32. Leeanna on June 14, 2011 at 5:47 pm

    I am looking forward to hearing how your life changes over the next year and hearing about more great products you discover!

  33. mi-an on June 14, 2011 at 6:43 pm

    gosh this is one of my fave color (other one is purple)โ€ฆso hawt!!

  34. Charliegirl on June 14, 2011 at 7:39 pm

    If you want a really pretty honeysuckle nail polish thatโ€™s free of all the yucky stuff try Zoya in Danaโ€“Iโ€™m wearing it now!

  35. Melissa on June 14, 2011 at 9:21 pm

    that first BCBG dress is amazing!! hm, I have a couple weddings to attendโ€ฆmaybe I NEED it?? :p

  36. Jamie Escobar on June 15, 2011 at 1:57 am

    This is the color of the dress I bought to pick him up from the airport for R & R. (it might still be two months awayโ€ฆbut a girl needs to be prepared) ๐Ÿ™‚ I LOVE this color though!

  37. Sara K on June 15, 2011 at 3:32 am

    LOVE honeysuckle- and especially that D&G walletโ€ฆon sale?! For how much? I almost bought the black one last summer but couldnโ€™t get myself to fork over the price considering Iโ€™d have very little left to put in the wallet

  38. Hannah on June 16, 2011 at 5:55 pm

    love the dress and this color!!! all of it!

  39. Kristi on June 17, 2011 at 1:40 pm

    LOVE this color.. It was the main color in my wedding and I still love it more than any other color, two years later! In fact, I bought one of the bridesmaidโ€™s dresses for myself because I loved the color so much, lol. Iโ€™m glad itโ€™s โ€œhawtโ€ now, too! ๐Ÿ™‚
