Hot Pink Ruffles? Yes, please!

As soon as I spotted these hot pink suede sandals from BCBG yesterday, I had to have them! Scooped them up on DSW.com and am patiently awaiting their arrival.
They are everything this spring promises to be both in home design and fashion...colorful, flirty and feminine.

And since they feel very Carrie Bradshaw-ish to me (ok, without the sky-high heel and designer label!), I have also annointed them my Sex and the City 2 shoes...yep, the ones I will be wearing to the theather as soon as Carrie and girls are back on screen this May!

What trends are you looking forward to rocking out this spring?

Friday Inspiration Files

I'm thinking of starting a new "column" every Friday...Friday Inspiration Files. Just a round-up of images, ideas, links and/or other goodies from my files to carry us all into the weekend!

First up...gorgeous shoes from an old Nordstrom catalog that I adore...



...fluffy coconut cupcakes (sorry I don't remember where this clip was from)...



and this exotic tablescape from the Real Simple web site. I love the floating orchids and candlelight...

Happy Weekend!!
