It’s the first day of spring, and what better way to celebrate than wearing bright spring colors?! Pink is synonymous with spring, and we have a fabulous new style and pink wash this season, the Grace skinny in Dazzling. It’s a cropped fit, perfect for casual spring and summer outfits, or you can even dress it up with a great pair of heels. The “dazzling” shade was inspired by several tones of pink – from hot pink to a more salmon-y pink – take a look below at some of our photo inspirations for the new color.

Happy Valentine’s Day from The Habit! We thought it would be appropriate to share some of our favorite images from our pink inspiration board our designer curated in honor of this very pink holiday. Look for these shades in our upcoming (and past) collections!
One of our favorite design blogs, Design*Sponge recently confessed of converting into a “pink person” – ditto HABITUAL design team, we have a new favorite color. We are usually drawn towards the neutral and darker tones – nothing over the top girly (which is usually pink), although we do enjoy our very glamorous moments as women. But, you would just never think there’d be a day where we became completely obsessed with Pink, from posies to pigs. There is something about this color that is IN right now and we just can’t get enough of it. Another one of our fave blogs, Bijou and Boheme did an amazing post dedicated to a “wink of pink” and pink and blue. The color combo makes everything look a little more fun and inviting.
Looking for a little pink denim love? You just in luck because our Alice Coated Skinny in Taj Mahal has a salmon-y pink coat and we are coming out with a beautiful pale rose called ‘English Rose’ in the Fall.
One of the latest hair trends we have noticed all over New York and L.A. is the “undercut” (not to be confused with the boxing move of the same name), so named because the stylist will lift up the top of the hair and cut or shave the sides and back of the head underneath. You can see the look on hipsters, rockers, trendy ladies, and edgier celebs like Rihanna and P!nk. Super scary Lisbeth Salander, the main character in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, played by Noomi Rapace in the Swedish version, sports a particularly dark variety of undercut. There is even a tumblr account devoted explicitly to the look. We first noticed the look in the late 80’s on Mike Patton from the band Faith No More (Now we’re dating ourselves).
Perhaps the hottest – and most buzzed about – example of someone sporting this cut is Kate Lanphear, current Style Director for Elle magazine in the US. She’s going with a blonde, sideswept undercut that might be the coolest hair on the planet right now.
One of the reasons why we like the undercut is that it shows an open-minded attitude towards punk style that has traditionally been isolated to rock & roll.
