For the love of design

February is the month to celebrate love so I thought I would celebrate my love of design.  Pieces that are well designed serve a function while being aesthetically beautiful.  They evoke a feeling in us and represent a part of our soul.  Sometimes you can’t explain why you love something, you just know you do.  A little like the people we love, too.  So, here are a few things that have captured my heart this month…

the power of pink

Happy Valentine’s Day!

i "heart" pink

 

Some of you may know how much I adore pink…I can’t even count the amount of pink things that I surround myself with from clothes to ipods to perfume (Victoria’s Secret Pink) to sharpie pens to my newly adored Kate Spade bag.  Why do I love pink so much? Am I the only one?

So, on this V-day, I thought I would explore the power of pink.

In my life, this color has always spurred me to action, allowed me to face challenges with optimism.  Purchasing my first Kate Spade bag in my favorite shade was a symbol of good things to come in 2011.  I already feel it’s effects as I juggle new clients and new love.

Other pink things I adore:

i am obsessed with peonies!
