A Flourish of Pinks

 
As spring is coming closer, we are all looking into our closets to find the perfect pastels that would reflect the hopefully warm weather. Say hasta la vista to those dull blacks and greys (unless they are accents) and open your arms to an assortment of beautiful and whimsical fresh colours that remind you of candy land. Don't be afraid to throw in some sparkles as well, as they are a big hit this season. Take for example the iPhone case below- it has a great selection of pink colours that are matched perfectly with an intriguing and sparkles! If you click on the image below you can actually customize this iPhone case to be unique to you with associated company Zazzle.com!


In your wardrobe however, perfectly balance your colours with some solid staples such as white, beige or even a light brown. This spring should be all about airy and lightness, and these pink hues are perfect for just that!

Boyfriend blazers have definitely been a staple fashion piece for a while, but why not spice things up a bit with a huge splash of colour? Make the blazer your feature piece of your outfit and tone down your other colours to a minimum- white for example. Or take a simple outfit and add a splash of colour by throwing a gorgeous pink bag over your shoulder. Never forget to accessorize with the just the right amount!

Ocean Wedding


Recently I was able to attend my cousin's wedding in the Dominican Republic. She had organized it perfectly, all down to the last detail. On top of her amazing reception and of course dress, sshe had these cute little gift bags for all the guests that included a rope necklace (if you were a girl) and an pair of sandals (if you were a guy). She wore this beautiful and simplistic dress which matched perfectly against the seascape. Her venue was right on the beach- everyone was able to take off their shoes and walk around in the sand. It was absolutely spectacular.

If you are planning your own wedding on the beach on some gorgeous island, then you are surely in for a treat. This inspiration board above is perfect for any beach wedding. Simple yet stunning jewelry is always a must, having a boat, or some sort of nautical inspiration is always good as well. Your dress should be simplistic yet elegant, however opt for a shorter cut, as you will be stepping around in the sand. Ocean inspired jewelry is always a good thing as well, as nautical pieces intrigue guests and they are a great addition to your wedding favors. Your venue should be just as you imagined it- perfect. It should be simple yet engaging as well. Add some small accents such as coral or starfish to your setting. Also, use beach colors like blue, teal, and beige in your placements. Here is an example of a wedding invitation below.
