Pink

pink

From pastel to vibrant, fluro to matte, I love pink. In every shade and variation I will wear it, buy it, sew with it and more than once I have gone literally head to toe in it. Pink hair, pink dress, pink shoes. I just love it.

Not only do I find it massively cheering and fun to wear but it suits me! With pale complexion of pink tones I can overdose on pink and instead of looking washed out it makes me look more vibrant.

The odd thing is I barely wore it as a child, I certainly didn’t have a pink barbie princess room and the entire love affair with pink didn’t start until well into my twenties. Now I have so much of it I often have to make a conscious decision to not keep getting more.

Despite having a lot of pink it tends to make things easy as so much of my wardrobe co ordinates together, so if you find a colour that suits you, go for it!

To see more Pink, take a look at my Pinterest board dedicated to the colour.

Mini Obsessions – bold cushions

I’m in the market for some new homewares.

My love of cushions and pillows is well documented, but lately it seems that super big oversize patterns have been catching my eye.

Admittedly many of these are featured in utterly pristine white apartments that make me sigh in envy. Though immediately after the sigh I always crumple my brow and think where do they fit all their Stuff? Like bikes and sewing machines and endless pairs of runners?

Mini Obsession – coloured hair

It’s coming up to getting my hair done again. This is a very regular occurrence but I still love it. Ben my hairdresser is brilliant and I have been seeing him for years.

I’ve been almost every shade of blonde, pink, purple, lilac imaginable. I’ve been blue (looked fantastic till the first wash then was a weird dishwater colour?) I’ve been red which made me look far more like raggedy Anne than I care to. I’ve even had a flash of neon green.

I never decide what I’m getting done I just go in and relax and come out with amazing hair. But still these images have been providing some strong inspiration.

lilac hair, long pink hair, pink hair, mint hair

Promise to let you know what colour I come out this time!
