Easter Pink

1. Robert Indiana LOVE Paper Weight, Colette $109 2. Lanvin Bow Tie, $310 3. Crewcuts Cashmere Popover, $118 4. Miu Miu Handbag, $1095

Based on my recent Polyvore clips, I can see that my love affair with bright pink is becoming a long term commitment. I own a vintage Robert Indiana LOVE ring, but I could easily find room in my home for the paper weight version. I'm a bit in love with Lanvin's Alber Elbaz, and his bow ties are like the cherry on top. I need the one named Shocking Pink, which gives a nod to Elsa Schiaparelli.

I still want every piece of bright pink in the Miu Miu Spring 2011 collection, and this bag is pretty much perfect. I'm trying to figure out if I can fit the largest size in J.Crew girls, because I love  this little cashmere sweatshirt.

Blue inspiration from designer Kelly Wearstler's blog.

I went through a pink phase earlier-which I still haven't completely shaken-but now I'm moving into a blue with tints of purple period. 

I do take wish lists when I go thrifting, but I always wind up with some kind of theme in my shopping cart. This weekend I picked up the midi skirt that is a little Sunday school teacher circa 1989. I'm thinking of pairing it with heels and a rock t-shirt, but we'll see how that goes. 

I have no idea why I bought the tassels, as I don't have any kind of drapes in my house. I spotted their blue color glowing down the aisle and had to buy them. Perhaps I'll rope them around the doorknobs in the bathroom.

 

Inspiration Board: Spring Blossoms in Elle Decoration

1. Anna Dove Almond Blossom Wallpaper 2. Rag & Bone Silk Pleated Skirt, $450 3. Vanessa Bruno silk blouse, $545 4. Silk Ethos Rug, $499 5. Alberto Fermani Cutout T-Strap Sandals, $375 6. Le Creuset Petite Round Casserole

I missed that it was the first day of spring on Sunday, but I'm shouting its arrival from the rooftops today! It is 83 degrees, which is more like summer, but I'll take it. 

There are so many things on my wish list that match the colors in this great image from Elle Decoration, that I decided to make a moodboard from them.

Like everyone, I've been swooning over the Rag & Bone pleated skirt ever since it hit the runway. I die a little of envy every time I see it on someone online.

And this is a plea to Le Creuset, please make the new colors in the petite round casserole dishes available to the USA soon! I'm wanting to buy several in the pastel blue and rose colors.
