Pretty in Pink from Elizabeth and James.

Some home decor inspiration via Shelter, Elements of Style, and Apartment Therapy!

Oohhh a million thanks have to go out to Julie Richard and her beautiful blog Shelter, without her I would not have seen Minnie Mortimer's beautiful home. The photos are from Vogue but I don't remember ever seeing this house. I am always a sucker for a home with beautiful bookshelves and lots of interesting books filling them! Enjoy.

Amazing!

I didn't have to go in to work today, so I am sitting in the sun enjoying a good book. I really couldn't ask for a more lovely morning. This photo posted last week on Shelter grabbed my attention right away. I love the outfit and I love her dozy state. Happy Monday!

Modern outdoor space on Apartment Therapy!

The always adorable Alexa Chung in stripes snapped by Vanessa Jackman and discovered on The Neo-Traditionalist. Katie used these shots of Alexa for her charming "Girl Crush" feature.

This colour scheme, from a very sweet birthday party, featured on Shelter inspired me. It is getting towards February, where pink and red are colours of the season. Whether you love or loathe Valentine's Day, I do always enjoy the injection of colour in a regularly gloomy month. Anyway, back to the sweet shades of pink and red . . . .

Michael Penny featured these Emerson Made flower accessories on his blog today. I love the soft pink and yellow combinations. I featured Emerson Made here and here after discovering Emerson and Ryan's work through A Cup of Jo.

This is the Silk Betty Layered dress from Banana Republic. It's actually available in a Dark Steel, but I just love the Deep Rose shade. It makes me think of bright bursting Peonies in the spring!

It may sound silly, but I'm a sucker for really good pens - kind of like how Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks talk about bouquets of newly sharpened pencils in You've Got Mail. Maybe it's just a common teacher trait. Anyway, these Staedtler ones are my absolute favourites. Linking this in with my desire for all things poppy and pink today, I had to go buy a few this afternoon . . . .my pink one had died from overuse!

Last but not least, I've always loved the soft and subtle touches of hot pink in this Domino Magazine feature. I stumbled upon it while scouting through this feature on Apartment Therapy.

I love the monochromatic effect of the black shoes, tights, coat, and sunglasses that Michelle Williams wore in NYC. Image via InStyle.

And despite possibly sounding redundant, I love this poster for Black Swan. I found it today on the My Wardrobe blog.
