Pastels

So pastel colours are "in" this season.

And below are a few ideas of how to introduce them into your house.

Pretty, huh? :)

Have a lovely weekend!

Grey + Pastels

I'm in love with the tones chosen for the walls and furniture in this house. The warm palette of pink, gold and wood works beautifully with the shades of blue and green in walls and furniture. And don't forget the details, the antiques (left with the rough surfaces to reflect their passage in time) are the ones that make this house different. Clever to leave the walls in pale tones so the house doesn't look old fashioned or heavy and the brighter the better to appreciate all the wonderful details.
I also want a crown on top of my bed, please :)

Would she...?

Would She live here?

This is the first one of the series. I will upload every now and then a drawing of a girl with the "matching" house decoration. I will paint the drawing and then try to find the perfect place for her. I thought it would be a good exercise for me to start thinking about colour moodboards...and also a good excuse to learn how to paint in Photoshop! What do you think? Do you like it?

Trying to draw something

First drawing after a very, very long time...those years at Fine Arts seem so far away! But this one was done from a photograph...no merit in that.

Btw, I bought my MAC lipstick at last! I went for Craving, an Amplified Creme Lipstick, after half an hour trying to decide. Luckily I wasn't in one of their small stores, but in Selfridges, so I hope they didn't notice me!!
Craving is a pinky-plum lipstick although in my lips it looks a little bit red. I highly recommend it. Very creamy (my boyfriend is not very happy about the marks on his cheeks!) and is vanilla scented.

Hope you are having a nice weekend!

The Perfect Lipstick

I have had something on my mind these past two weeks, a lipstick. But not a dark one, a light colour one, but not too pink, not too brown, not too coral. One that doesn't make me look like a Barbie and neither in my thirties. It's so difficult!! I think I might try tomorrow this one from MAC, Gem of Roses: http://www.temptalia.com/mac-semi-precious-lipstick-swatches-photos-reviews#image1

Hope you had a wonderful day with your loved ones :)
