The colour pink

I guess there's no point in trying to be subtle when it comes to welcoming the month of lurve as I am seeing pink in almost every website. This year, I don't mind it at all. I am usually not a pink person but I have made a vow to accept more colours in my life (and wardrobe) and lessen my addiction to black and blue. 

Anyway, how beautiful is this pink door that I found via "a life more fabulous"? My CQ will never approve it as a front door but possibly, the door to my sewing/art/guest room, perhaps?

Then, I saw these beauties. How divine is that powder-pink-with-thick-black-lining table cloth for my dressing table and while we're there, who could not want that big mirror and that pretty rug with shades of reds and pinks to match? 

Oh dear, I am definitely in my I-want-pretty-things-for-the-house mode.

Finally, how perfect is this dress (via shopbop.com) for Valentine's Day? It's pink but not in a mushy way. No ribbons, no frills, no ruffles. Perfect. 

Don't get me wrong, love em' frills to bits but you see them on everything on VDay, EVERYTHING  from table cloths to cards, to flowers to chocolate boxes, to restaurant decor to office cubicles (oh yea, I've seen that). 

...and I should probably mention that I have also had my share of disastrous (frilly/ lacey/ruffly) VDay numbers that I've had on in the past. Felt like I was camouflaged against a very sickly sweet and frilly world. 

...

Phew, so yea, I try to keep it simple and streamlined on that day (Note: Try to...)

And, I already bought my CQ his gift. You won't see me scrambling and cracking my head for VDay gift ideas this year (unlike the year past)! Ha!
