LOVIN' MY LULUs

A nice pair of sunglasses and a pretty scarf are staples in my wardrobe. It was harder than anticipated to find sunglasses that fit my nose bridge but these ones by LULU fit perfectly. I've had them for two years now and hope I'll have them for many years to come. Happy Pink Friday!

THINKING SPRING

As we approach spring, I find myself wanting to surround myself with anything that reminds of me of my favorite season, and flowers fit the bill. These cute metal cups put a spring in my step! My plan is to store some of my buttons in them as their color scheme matches my sewing room.

PICTURE PERFECT

What could be more perfect for someone like me who loves pink and taking photos than a pink camera? I saw this camera when it first came out more than a year ago but it was quite expensive, which was a little surprising since it is an instant camera and has a smaller photo than a Polaroid. Being a patient person, I bode my time and waited for it to go on sale and am now the proud owner of this adorable camera.

HELLO KITTY

I've been a fan of Hello Kitty since I was a kid and am a sucker for anything half way practical that bears her image. This whimsical watch is no exception. 

Even the box for the watch was cute!

PRETTY IN PINK

I'm pleased to report that I have two new pink additions to add to my winter and spring/summer wardrobe! Isn't this pink coat dreamy? I spotted it for 50 percent off a few weeks ago and decided it was time to snag it. They were down to the last seven of them when I ordered it.

I received it a mere week later. I couldn't wait to open the package! It was even prettier in person

Earlier this winter, I purchased a similar coat from Korea for a song (nearly half the price of the Modcloth coat). As I've said before, I don't think one can have too many coats living in Iowa! I like to pair them with whatever I'm wearing on a given day—and as a pink lover, I have a lot of options in this hue. Do buy with caution when ordering clothes from Asia. They are all much smaller sizes than here in the U.S. and what looks big like this coat isn't really. 

My other recent pink find is this darling soft pink/peach dress with an embroidered overlay, which I found while shopping with my friend Anne in late December. It was from the shop's last summer collection and so it was deeply discounted at just $35! This is NOT me in the photo (It's taken from the shop's site but the dress is no longer available). My dress is at my tailor because I needed to get portions of it taken in. Can't wait to get it back and start wearing it this spring!

KATE SPADE COLORBLOCKED WALLET

After being disappointed by my newest wallet's rather quick demise (The snap broke after only two months!), I was elated to get this Kate Spade wallet (style: Stacy in Emma Lane fabric; $98). This photo doesn't do it justice. I normally don't go for colorblocking since it's a little too contemporary for my taste but something about this wallet captivated the pink lover in me.

After seeing it while shopping with my hubby one weekend, he surprised me with it one evening all wrapped up in this adorable paper.

POLKA DOT PANACHE

If wear a size 7 or under shoe, you might be able to fit youth-sized shoes. I normally wear a size 6 ladies shoe and found this sweet pair of size 4 girls shoes at the discount store that fit my feet perfectly!

Best yet, they came in this sweet pink plaid box. It just goes to show you that good things really do come in pink packages!
