Pleasing Pink Decor

When most think of utilizing pink in home decor, they gravitate toward images of something concocted by strawberry shortcake meets Miss Piggy meets fairy princess. That’s not always the case. While it does tend to indicate a feminine touch and is not necessarily right for an entire color scheme, when done right it can be breathtakingly lovely. I love the fabulous girliness of a pink couch or pink wall. I’m not sure Ro would go for the mirrored bed covered in lush blush but he might be amenable to a few touches here and there.

The more I look at these rooms laced with pink, the more I love it. Most of these lovely images were found via {this is glamorous} which I must say is my very favorite blog out there.

Wrapped Up

I always love to see examples of looking chic while fully bundled. I think this editorial featuring Anna Iaryn does exactly that.

Buns, Chignons & Topnots – Oh my!

5338012260_c1b9d3b8b9_z_large

When one has long hair, one is blessed with many hair options. While I tend to gravitate towards ponytails, I am enchanted by buns and chignons, intricate or tossed together and I am going to try to utilize them more in my hairstyle routine. Enjoy the inspiration.

 Oscar de la Renta dresses, 1979 photo: W: The Designing Life, 1987

This is vintage ODLR from 1979 featured in W: The Designing Life, 1987 and found via OscarPRGirl. I love everything about this photo from the dresses to the shoes to the backward locket to the girls to the dock.

I hope you’re having a good week. I’m finally feeling like myself again.

Fabulous Friday!
