The hot color combination for spring is pink and acid yellow. It first caught my eye at J. Crew.
Then I noticed it at a store called Strawberry Jam.
Yoox has a Versace jacket that combines the two.
You could pair these adorable Chloe shoes from Intermix with a yellow dress from Shopbop.
The inspiration for all this is clear: Peeps!
Why not? Peeps have a history of inspiring creative people.
- The classic Peep site: Peep Research
- Research about Peeps DOING research. Very meta!
- Washington Post Peeps Diorama Contest 2007 (2008 winners will be published next weekend. Site requires registration but it’s worth it.)
But sugar-free Peeps get a bad review.
the iron chic says
“They’re cute and they can’t scream while you eat them.”
Just LOL’ed as they say.
I knew you would pick up on that Henry VII reference.
It is indeed- she was named after her. Why THAT Catherine I’m not sure.
Isabel says
That Peeping Peeps diorama is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Honest.
Also, I’m in NYC from April 30th to May 3rd.
WendyB says
IC, she DOES know that didn’t turn out well, right? *puzzled*
Isabel, email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com.
AsianCajuns says
Ooo…love the color combination! I’ve seen the peep poses before… so cute!
Princess of the Universe says
Hey Wendy- I saw The Other Boleyn Girl this weekend…
I noticed that Natalie Portman was wearing the same necklace that Ugly Betty wears- maybe you should write about that?
๐
(I was thinking of you everytime I saw that necklace on screen)
WendyB says
Princess, so you’re ready to buy one for yourself now, right???? ๐
Fashion Ivy says
Pink and yellow is so out there. I don’t think I’d be able to pull it off
Fabi says
yummy yummy!
starting from the name of the store (stawberry jam mmm) to the mouthless bunnies heehee
p.s. that diana ring is lovely!! I’ll have to show it to my mom, she’s a huge fan of hearts!!!
xoxo
Wendy says
The combination is so intense!
riz says
LOVE the pink + yellow mix…but peeps are gross.
do marshmellows (sp?) have gelatin in them??!
Jill Sherman says
You know, I don’t think I will ever be able to pull off the pink/yellow combo. But I won’t laugh at anybody that tries.
evie says
bunnies can scream?
Princess Poochie says
I love the yellow and pink. It is such a candy color combination.
Peeps crack me up. I can’t eat them (I’m not a sugar person, I’m more of a chocolate fan) but we had this tiny girl where I worked and she was a HUGE fan o’ the Peeps. So we decided to do a Peeps eating contest as part of a Easter office party. We matched her against a bunch of guys. She ate 12 in like 3 min. None of the guys could beat her. Then they all threw up. It was awesome.
I think I could only eat 3. We called her Peepsy the rest of her time there.
Luv
Poochie
CDP says
I second the Princess’ comment, while also noticing the stories about gold hitting record highs…but what’s the highest it’s ever been?
(snort)
I just bought a sweater that very same acid green, and you are right that it is well worth registering with the Post to see the Peeps diorama entries.
bronwyn says
Hot colour combination, love the top outfit!
The Guv'ner says
Hmmm. I don’t approve of the pink yellow thing so much but I am a big fan of PURPLE and yellow so maybe I shouldn’t really talk….
Peeps are horrible. My teeth recoil just thinking about them! ๐ They are CUTE though.

I’m craving peeps now. Those links are highlarious!
Fashion Tidbits says
love the colours!! acid yellow tis the best!
pistols at dawn says
I am totally going to use that Peeping Peeps diorama for my upcoming court case, because I look a lot more forgivable when portrayed as a blue peep.
Olga says
For some reason this is one color combination that irritates me. ๐
Poster Girl says
Love the pink & yellow combo, and the Chloรฉ sandals.
Julie says
Hey Wendy I can’t find your email so I am leaving this as a comment here. This is in response to your comment on Style Bytes about Coutorture.
Actually at the time (if I recall correctly but I could be totally wrong which I am soooooo often so you know) what we saw on your blog was a lot of lifestyle focused pieces (which were awesome, don’t get me wrong) and not a lot of emphasis on straight fashion or beauty which is what we think we can help support the best.
We aren’t a little club (though if we had a treehouse that would be awesome) we just try to focus on supporting who we think we are best equipped to support.
C’est tout! If you think I am dead fucking wrong and you totally have something in our niche that we can help rock and support then my bad and drop me a line.
LBIC says
Peeps are my favoritist thing about Easter. Sure there’s all that stuff about Jesus and being saved but, I mean, they didn’t have sugarry marshmallowy goodness back in the day.
styleraven says
The JCrew look works better than the Strawberry one. Too loud, like pink and orange ๐
The Seeker says
That “Peeping Peeps” diorama is soooo funny!!!
I love that first picture.
Maybe it’s a combo I would try.
xx
Renรฉe S. says
Those Chloรฉ’s are fantastic! The best shade of pink ever.
saray says
noce combo!!
the first pic is fab..
Jay Cam says
oh my gosh now i really have to go out and get some peeps!
happy saint patricks day!
Suze's Sass says
Ugh, I hate PEEPS. I put any I receive directly in the microwave!

Can’t quite believe I’m saying this but I think J. Crew does it best….oh dear…
Danielle says
i lOVE peeps. I especially like that during halloween they make bat and ghost peeps.
K.Line says
The yellow with the pink is awesome – on the clothes, I mean. Those peeps things are gross! ๐
Practically Perfect In Every Way says
yeah spring! woooo hooo PEEPs!
Angela says
Mm, what is the point of sugar-free peeps? The entire purpose of peeps is to give yourself hyperglycemic shock.
I love the Chloe shoes but I wish they were a bit brighter. They are a very Easter-y pink though.
Gloria says
haha, very cute. unforutnately, pink and yellow wouldn’t work on my asian skintone!
fashion evolution says
Hey Wendy–question: Have you ever gone inside Strawberry Jam? I’ve walked by the shop window countless times and have never dragged myself inside. I was just wondering if you’ve had a chance to check out the goods.
christine says
chloe shoes = love
Nicole Then says
