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?

Vera Wang Bloomingdales Event in NYC

May 19, 2010

Two back-to-back fab events in NYC that were worth gabbing about from last week: Vera Wang’s 20th anniversary celebration at Bloomingdales and the M.A.C. Cosmetics Event Pro Party. More on the M.A.C event in my next entry.

Vera started her bridal business twenty years ago and is now one of the most famous names in the industry. So she had every reason to celebrate. Vera was so cute at the event, dancing to the DJ spinning Madonna’s Vogue while rocking her black leggings and booties.

The Bloomingdales on 59th and Lex showcased some of her landmark dresses and new dinnerware. Here’s the invite and some pics.

She revealed how she got married 5 days before her 40th birthday. (Who knew?) She also discussed her tips on weddings:

Dress: “Feel connected to your dress. Make sure it represents who you are as a person and that it’s what you really want. Be true to yourself.”

Registry: “Being a woman, I thought it was all about me, but it’s about your life together. Marriage is a joint venture and compromise is important. Make the registry a part of both of you.”

Engagement Period: “The engagement is a rehearsal for your life together. Really spend time alone—take a walk together or share a quiet meal. This is very important and allows you to remember why you fell in love with each other.”

Some of her most iconic dresses were on display and I wanted to try every one of them on. The below dress with the black sash would be perfect for a black and white themed wedding, don’t you think?

The biggest news was that In Spring 2011, Vera is once again going mass-market with a new bridal collection at David’s Bridal.
