sweetly grunge...

...is today's inspiration. i'm seeing a lot of pink around at the moment, usually a shade which reminds me of paris hilton's chihuahua (NOT a metaphor). but with the right mix of faded glamour and filthy gal the look is perfectly grungified.


jewellery, hair, giant inflatable lips...nothing's safe from a splash of sun-faded pink. ashley olsen has a lot to answer for since she stepped out in 2010 with a straggly pink mop. LOVE! 


i haven't the balls for pink hair, but i've recently purchased a pale pink draped blazer which i've worn with everything from a black halter neck maxi dress to skinny black jeans and a fleetwood mac vest. my fave outfit was worn to the airport - a striped blue and white mini dress, nineties wedges, graphite bayswater and pink blazer. comfy but a far cry from trackie b's and a hoody! well, you can't sit and drink champagne in the departures lounge looking you just rolled out of the gym. it's a really versatile li'l number and has become a staple item in my wardrobe (despite the bad weather recently, booo!) 


here's a few snaps of the jacket anyway, it's from new look an only cost £24.99 and if I remember rightly is available in black and grey also! and a few pics of some pink-spiration to get you in the mood for a romantic summer! rate up my street.
