Color Inspiration: Hot Pink

While at the neighborhood farmer's market this weekend, I came across a bouquet of the most beautiful hot pink dahlias.  I was so taken by the lovely hue, I had to buy them.  Hot pink is indeed hot, and now is the time to rock that color while summer is still here.  Here are some hot pink items to inspire you.

My hot pink dahlias... so pretty!

This hot pink dress by Betsey Johnson is so cute and feminine.

How much do love this satin anemone pump by Christian Louboutin!

This is the perfect shoe to wear to a late summer wedding.

This cute fitted blazer in hot pink will definitely get you noticed.

Finish any outfit off with a classic Chanel purse.

I picture this one with jeans, black stilettos, and a crisp white tank shirt.

Hot pink make-up is soft and feminine and compliments most skin tones.

Don't forget hot pink nails!

Enjoy the days of late summer and rock the hot pink!

Color Inspiration: Gorgeous Grey

We have our fair share of grey skies here in Portland.  Yes, the grey days can get you down, but look at it through the panther's eyes.  Grey is a gorgeous color!  It is classic and modern at the same time.  Grey makes a wonderful neutral and is a lovely backdrop for so many colors. 

How restful is this bedroom with warm grey walls, crisp white bedding and a pop of orange!

Loving this grey flannel Chesterfield sofa by Coach House

Fun accent pillows in grey with white accents.

I'm coveting these grey peep-toe boots

with chain lace-up and ankle strap detail at fashion-nique.net.

This dress is so elegant in grey.

Eyeshadow in shades of grey is always classic.

Nail polish in varied shades of grey...my latest fave.

Don't let the grey days get you down!

Color Inspiration: Pale Pink

The sun is shining and the panther just spotted the first hint of a pale pink cherry blossom.  Spring is almost here and we are ready.  Today we are welcoming in spring and those pale pink cherry blossoms by celebrating all things pink!

Wouldn't it be lovely to serve these BEA-U-TEE-FUL cupcakes at a ladies luncheon!  So feminine, and yummy-looking.

Look at these lovely pale pink accessories for your home:  Wouldn't you feel like a princess with this pink chandelier from poshliving.com in your home?

And how about this sweet antique chair we found on thebellacottage.com

We absolutely adore these oh-so-girly sandals by Christian Louboutin.

For spring showers, be prepared with this Burberry trench coat.

Of course any outfit, no matter what color would be beautifully complimented with this classic Chanel purse.

You can always add a little bling too.  Pink Bling!  Isn't this pink sapphire ring yummy!

And don't forget the Chanel lip gloss, in any number of lovely shades of pink.

Now go welcome Spring and the cherry blossoms in your finest pink!
