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.

waves of light

ruffles and waves were all the rage on the spring 09 runways and with the weather here in d.c. finally warming up, it’s time to start wearing these pretty, tousled looks. can’t wait to let go of those serious and perfectly-tailored pants and coats, those entirely too stuffy sweaters and stockings, and those prim and proper scarves and boots…which is why the ruffled details of spring and summer’s style are such a fun step away from winter’s straight-edged looks...and why these waves are just as welcome as the sun’s beautiful rays of light.
