Passion for Pink

I've rocked pink hair before. Crazy fuschia stripes all over my ginormous head, and I loved them. And even though I push the boundaries of "business casual" quite a bit at work, I'm thinking the firm would not appreciate any amount of pink in my hair. Nonetheless I can dream, right? And I am loving the pink tipped hair below from the March Vogue Australia. (Her fantastic bangs and doll-esque face don't hurt either.)


Images from: because im addicted

Speaking of pink, have you seen my client spotlight at Pink Heels? Jennifer and I had our very last session as coach and client a couple Sunday's ago. Normally I'd be sad, but in Jennifer, I've made a lifelong friend, so I know our time together is not ending ANYTIME soon. :)

*Wishlist*

I'm so extreme. On the one hand, I'm uber excited about downsizing and decluttering (these thoughts literally kept me up until 4 a.m. last night/this morning). On the other, I find myself trolling various blogs and retail sites finding all kinds of goodies. So, um, for the sake of some Friday fun, voila my wishlist!

Fuji Instax Instant Camera

First read about it here, then found it here whilst perusing Urban last night. Swoon indeed! This darling, DARLING camera is like a petit polaroid. I want!! Now, I know I bought that pink Holga awhile back and have yet to develop any pics, but that's because I need to finish the roll. I started it on my bday at Barton Springs, but want to take it to some fun Austin hotspots before I finish. See? It's not going to waste...

Crate & Barrel Colette Bed


I am so over my Hemnes bed. Unfortunately it was a biatch to assemble, and I've only had it for about 2 years, sooo I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon. But when it does come time for me to buy a new bed, I'd love the Colette Bed. You might be thinking, "wow that's a bit tame for Carolyn's taste," and well, you'd be right. But this bed ain't cheap, and I'd want it to last forever. The classic shape + super fun nailhead trim would be tres chic for decades to come.

Note: I might paint my bed a fun glossy white comme ca. Oh Domino... I miss you.

Taschen's Travel Books
You've probably spotted these babies at Anthropologie. Everytime I see them, I die a little. (Drama queen, much?) Because they ain't cheap (around $50 a pop), and I want all 3!

Paris & London Maps

And speaking of my fave European cities, I've been eyeing these darling Paris & London maps since they hit the world wide web. But again, I want both, and at $50 a pop plus shipping, they're just not in my budget right now. Le sad I am.

I'd Like You To Meet...

...my new pink HOLGA!! After much deliberation (okay maybe not that much), i took the plunge and bought myself this adorable pink holga camera. After hearing such rave reviews about it, i figured it was an inexpensive way for me to have some fun with photography. Plus in this cotton candy pink color, how could i resist?? I am definitely going to name her, as i enjoy naming my inanimate objects. My darling white/pink beach cruiser? Her name is Sylvie. My newish purple ipod? Sofia. As for this baby, i'm not sure... Any suggestions? I'm particularly fond of French names :-)

P.S. Get your own here!

P.P.S. Aside from this purchase, i've cut back on my shopping BIG time. Yay moi.

P.P.P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARAH!! If you don't know Sarah, she's kind of like, stunning, uber talented, and has an incredible blog. (And also one of the sweetest bloggers you'll meet) Head on over and wish her a happy bday!

Will Work 4 Japanese Masking Tape

I spotted this stuff (and by stuff, i mean GOODNESS) on a design blog awhile back, but it was sold out everywhere (namely, Design Within Reach). But LOOK! It's BACK!! And still WAY OVERPRICED!!! Mais tres jolie, n'est ce pas?

You can buy your own HERE (although i think some of it is sold out... again!).

P.S. It's no coincidence that the above website is called "happy tape" ;-)
