This Spring is all about color, and all about options! ANY shade of pink is game! Pale pink, bright pink, dark pink… Glossy or matte finishes, all are of-the-moment and gorgeously sexy!
With much help from my shutterbug husband (who couldn’t wait to test his new camera’s abilities with these up-close shots)… this post highlights my favorite pink picks of the season. Stay tuned! Tomorrow’s post showcases pinks that are a bit more sophisticated.
