J. Crew, Victoria's Secret, ABC Home, Macy's, Essie, Michael Kors, StyleBop, Cambridge Satchel

Who says fall fashion has to be all about saturated shades? Take a cue from Honor's pre-fall 2012 collection and turn up the volume in your closet with bright neon pink. From the cautious fashionista to the stylishly adventurous, check out all the exciting ways to think pink!



If you consider yourself a fashion daredevil, jump headfirst into this shocking trend with this gorgeous silk V-neck dress from J. Crew. Pair the fabulous frock with a pair of nude pumps and your bold look is good to go.








Personally, I need major motivation to hit the gym. A sure-fire way to get me excited about breaking a sweat is chic workout gear. This ultra-soft half-zip pullover from Victoria's Secret grabs all the right kinds of attention while I'm slaving away on the treadmill. Now on to the hunt for chic tennis shoes...




Tired of interior bores like those beige couches and dark brown coffee tables? Add a girly touch to your home with a hot pink chair from ABC Home. This fashionable piece of furniture is guaranteed to be a conversation-starter at your next dinner party.





Pick up this chic silicone watch by athletic staple brand Lacoste. The orange and purple timepiece is an affordable and useful way to indulge in summer's hottest trend: color-blocking.




If you're looking to step into the trend in a more subtle manner, opt for neon nails. This creamy hot pink shade from Essie is a nice escape from the dreary dark nails usually popular in winter. Who knows, it might even land you in the middle of a Fox News debate á la Jenna Lyons.




As the resident shoe fanatic, I find that the best way to test out the latest trend is through fancy footwear. These Michael Kors sandals tap into the hot pink trend without going overboard. The cutest part: the neon pink metal hardware. The sharp-tongued designer sure is a sucker for details.



Remember when we picked the Cambridge Satchel as one of the hottest gifts for the holiday season? Just to prove that I'm still obsessed with the chic yet utilitarian bag, I'm recommending that y'all try it out in the shocking shade. In case you're not a fan of the girly tone, have no fear—it also comes in a variety of colors, including a bright orange to a deep hunter green.




By far the most hipster symbol out there, the ampersand is having quite the color revival. Indulge in the playful trend with this adorable print from Etsy's Ampersand Design Studio. If you're feeling particularly selfless, it'll also make the perfect gift for all those hard-to-shop-for literary friends.




The ultra-witty Michael Kors makes our list again with this haute pink cashmere sweater. Sure, it's quite the splurge, but pair it with khaki cigarette pants (like this classic pair from J. Crew) for an impossibly chic work ensemble. Feeling adventurous? Channel style queen Sarah Jessica Parker and pair the bold sweater with a pair of red trousers for a color-blocked classic.
