Inspiration Boards: Pink Themed Events

I never considered myself a pink kinda girl – the overtly girly nature of it gave me somewhat of a gag reflex.  But somehow, I’ve made a dramatic turnaround and I’m loving fuschia.  It’s dramatic, bold and pairs nicely with my favorite black/white combo.   I’m most drawn to a rasberry pink that is less purple and more deep pink.  Below is a a collection of images that I created that would be perfect for an elegant masquerade.  I love inspiration collages.

My next collage shares the same color theme and is inspiration for a girly, French boudoir inspired birthday party.  Speaking of which, I’ve been contemplating having my next birthday at my new apartment and make it a housewarming/birthday event.

Below is a picture of my continued makeover on my shoe closet – also in fuschia pink.  What do you think?

Inspiration Board: Chanel

As you know from a previous blog post, I was thrilled with Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2010 line of purses.  So I was fascinated to see the inspiration board that started the collection.

Everything from landscapes to paintings to roses and soft portraits seemed to inspire.  I asked Vogue blogger Emily Zak where she sourced these photos and I’ll let you know once confirmed.  Could they be from the desk of Karl?

I love the creativity behind inspiration boards, have several of them in my own home and have written a blog entry about some of my favorite collages that I’ve found online.   Here are a few others that are Chanel-inspired that caught my eye.

I just adore the idea of a Chanel – inspired wedding and dream about having this gorgeous quilted Chanel cake at my future reception.  The black and white motif is classic and elegant, anemones are the perfect flower to incorporate a black & white theme and don’t you love the unique #5 table number?

Again, another Chanel-inspired wedding inspiration board, this time including some pretty blush tones.  What do you think?  It’s from Parisianevents.

This pretty set came from Princess Foo Foo who confesses to becoming a Chanel addict at the tender 5th grader period in her life when she first received her very own Chanel purse as a birthday gift.  (wow! can someone say generous parent?)  I want those cage shoes and that bracelet watch!

The above collage came from BlackPatentStilettos.  I love how she incorporates my favorite Coco quote. and the sparkly bracelet is catching my eye.

Any Chanel fans out there?  What do you think about the above roundup?  Do tell!
