Happy Easter inspired by Marie Antoinette

How about that cake I would love it for Easter! I would also love some candy in my basket with the Marie Antoinette wrapping on it. I dont think that was in the gift shop at Versailles last time I was there.

Have a wonderful Easter full of love and

Have a Pink day!

Dreaming in pink...again

 I would feel like a princess under this bed canopy in pink silk!!

 Santa are you reading this? Love the bike!!

 All my ornaments are pink or white !This one would fit right in.

 Pink tea caddy for sale on EBay so pretty!

This is the big dream to have a pink top that looks like it has glitter snow on it.

Oh  how fun it is to dream in pink!!! What eye candy! Pink makes my spirit bright! Pink cures my "blues" and sparks my creativity.

Have a Pink day!

Ribbons galore

This after Pinkmas time of year is always sooo boring and sort of depressing. I love ribbons and enjoy gift wrapping and doing stuff with them. Just looking at them makes me happy.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year 

I truly believe we make our own happiness. Of course a trip to Paris and some champagne go a long way towards making me happy too!

I am looking forward to 2013 hope you are too.

French chairs

I adore French-style chairs and French furniture in general. However, a chair just somehow seems more personal to me, I always feel that a chair calls out to you. 

Chairs are like little punctuation marks in designing a room. A cute chair can add a lot of drama or pizzazz. I especially like ones with bows carved into the frame.I'm trying to recall what makes me love the French style so much and I think I watched a lot of old movies as a kid and  many had French interiors. 

My favorite all time chair is  in a museum somewhere it is heart shaped cane-backed Louis chair designed by Madame de Pompadour.

J'adore Jane Austen and reading

 Love love love to read

Reading is a passion of mine. I love reading on a Kindle and reading regular books. Since I adore Jane Austen I think I should save up and buy this set of PINK Jane Austen novels. They would fit in perfectly in my boudoir.I return to her works again and again. Men should read them and pay attention to the male heroes in her novels and  learn a thing or two about manners and how to court a lady.

One of my favorite books is Tea with Jane Austen by Kim Wilson( Amazon) full of fun facts and tea information.

Have a Pink day!

Pink bedroom bliss

Pink Saturday!

I would love to be the lucky baby that gets to sleep in the perfect pink nursery. And then when that baby grows up she can have this wonderfully pink and sunny bedroom. I love the doors opening into the room,, the canopy over the bed , this style is  lit a la Polonaise, the white bed linens just so darn pretty!

Have a Pink day!

Enjoy the pinkness while I pretend I am twirling and leaping in my beautiful pink tutu.

Les Adieux a la Reine or Farewell my Queen

Farewell My Queen is out now in the USA. It is from the book of same title by Chantal Thomas.

I have been waiting to see it. Atlanta does not have it in theaters locally only one showing far away about  an hour or more drive. So now I will wait for it to appear on DVD at Amazon  or Netflix.

I think I will enjoy it as it is told from the servant's point of view. I hear it alludes to a lesbian relationship but I really do not think that is a historical fact that can be documented in any clear way. But it helps sell a movie and offers something different or whispers about it.

So for me, I am still waiting to see Farewell  My Queen  If you have seen it drop me an email or a comment on what you thought!

Have a Pink day!

Choupette and White Wedneday

Karl Lagerfeld has a cat now. She just turned one and has had much media attention in the fashion press.

Choupette is the apple of Karl's eye and he even employees two maids ( a day and a night one) to care for her. She goes to the vet for check ups every ten days. He thinks her bad behavior is cute. In other words, he adores her. She likes to sleep on his vintage linens, eat at the table with him--she eats her own food but it up on the table. 

Everyone is surprised that he is such a doting father.  He is artist why wouldn't he love his kitten? Who knew Karl would be a "cat person"?

Today I realized I had saved so many white images related to couture. Enough for a pretty post! That last image of the huge ruffle and detailed top is so amazing It really is sculpture in soft form. I would love to be a little bee in the workroom watching the seamstresses create clothing like that. Couture is truly amazing and it is on my to do list to attend a fashion show in Paris sometime.
