sonam kapoor at elie saab couture, spring 2012

interesting fusion look. i don't know how i feel about it, though. it's definitely 'thinking outside the box,' but i'm feeling a bit of a grandma vibe with the shrug and sari together. on their own though, each piece is great - the gorgeous mandarin collar sari in pretty pink, and the delicate yet stunning elie saab shrug.

pink inspiration

i normally hate the color pink -- not sure why, but it just doesn't do anything for me. lately, however, i've been oddly drawn to images loaded with the candy-floss hue. i've found myself saving those images to go back to for style (whether it's personal or home) inspiration. above are a few of those images!

pink also represents breast cancer awareness, and october is breast cancer awareness month. if you'd like to make a donation, please visit the susan g. komen for the cure website.

in bloom

cherry blossom season is always a romantic time. representing femininity and love, the famous cherry blossom trees bring thousands and thousands of people to washington, d.c., every spring to picnic by the tidal basin shore, stroll through parks, take part in the many festivals and shows, or simply admire the fleeting charm of these gifted beauties

another dreary morning...but hope this bunch of soft, lush peonies brighten your spirits, as they did mine
