dusty pink pastels

Just had to share these magical dusty pastel tulle dresses from Viktor & Rolf RTW Spring 2010. Love the fun play with lines and the colours.

Little pink touches

Back to some pink posting. Here´s a few items I would love to add to my wardrobe to cheer up all the grey and black items that slowly take over when winter moves in. Everything is from Youheshe.com. as always  - because they are still one of the only Danish webshops that put a real effort into their styling and photography.

Pink for October

I had fun last year doing my "Pink for October" - so get ready once again for lots of pink posts here during October - and feel free to grab my buttom to the right if you want to join the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please leave a message if you plan to go "Pink for October" too.

And if you are new to my blog - you can read this post to learn why Breastcancer is an issue close to my heart.

My pink painting

My last post for Pink October - is about my favorite artist and my favorite painting by Søren Benhcke. I wrote about how much I wanted it here - 11 months ago - and then again here for Bloesem´s World Tour, saying "Inside my dinning room you will see this painting by Søren Benhcke, called Team Amour, from 2007, which I bought in the beginning of this year – it was love at first sight and I just had to own it eventhough I had never spend that much before on one single piece…"

Right now the painting is part of a solo-exhibition at our local art museum Aros - and if you live near Århus I highly recommend that you go and see his exhibition, CANDLE WITH HARE – in the West Gallery, 18. october – 07.december 2008.

Well right now the wall in our dinning room is a little bare - it´s amazing how much energy a painting can give to a room - and we all miss it. But I´m also extremely proud and happy to be able to share it with a larger audience. The painting means a lot to me on many levels -and I can only recommend to by art with your heart! - and share it. Also I wish to say that I bought it with my hard-earned money - not as an investment - simply because I had to own it. I also wish to say that our dinning room is only this clean and organized when a pro-photosession is beeing done...
Have a great weekend!

James Gulliver Hancock

I´m not sure how I found the website of illustrator/artist James Gulliver Hancock - but I´m glad I did. Here´s some pink illustrations - but please check out his portfolio for more great stuff.

I can´t believe that October is almost over - is been so much fun to create posts about a special theme - that I´m already trying to think of my next theme - if you have any suggestions let me know - I´m thinking either Books/bookdesign or Squirrels & deers or Scandinavian design - what would you like?

Pink Poladroid

Ohhh I´m in love with Poladroid - it´s a polaroid image maker - and look what magic it did to my photo of some dried "Beach Cabbage" (not sure if it´s the right word in english).

1. Download the free POLADROID application and launch it. (works only on Mac´s so far)
2. Drag & Drop your photos (in RGB)
3. Wait... wait.... wait again... or shake the picture.
Then look at or print your POLADROID picture - and post it on your blog or at the Poladroid Flickr-group.

Here´s some wonderful Pink Eye Candy to drool over - all from Amy Atlas Events.

Weekend Greeting

Here´s a Happy Weekend greeting from me to you! It´s created via Polyvore - a great website that lets you mix and match images from anywhere on the web, to create outfits, interior designs, or any kind of collage. It´s a great tool for people who don´t have fancy design programs installed like photoshop etc. - and it´s also a great timewaster.

Photos by Gaelle Le Boulicat

I just discovered the website of the french photographer Gaelle Le Boulicaut - she works for a lot of international magazines and for danish magazines like BoBedre and Rum - and I recognized the bottom picture with the kids from Rum - isn´t it just great! and I also picked some pink samples for you to enjoy.

Pink weddings

They say that good things comes to those who wait... and while I wait - I enjoy visiting Style Me Pretty - a wedding blog full of eye candy and pretty flowers and DIY-wedding ideas. I just discovered that they did a week of breast cancer awareness posts last week with lots of pink weddings. Enjoy

Silicone Planters

I´m back after a very relaxing holiday on Mallorca and ready to continue my Pink Month here with these Silicone Planters by the american artist Paula Hayes. They will be perfect for my ( and any) future garden and have been on my wishlist for quite a while now.

Anétmai collages

My friends from Anétmai are not only a talented graphic designduo - and members of our local Grib project - They have also entered a co-operation with the Danish Cancer Society in their fight against breast cancer this year.

”We were contacted by The Danish Cancer Society about a co-operation on the artistic level. This makes us feel very honoured as designers, for we are grateful if our works can contribute to drawing attention to breast cancer. That is why we agreed to design two works, which can function separately, but together as well,” explains the girls behind Anétmai

The pictures can only be bought at shop.anetmai.com, and only in the period 15th September till 15th December 2008. Each picture costs 695 Danish kroner, out of which Anétmai and co-operating partner Knud Høi will donate 300 per sold picture.

Pink Autumn

Lovely pink autumn pictures from SkonaHem´s website - make sure to sign up for their newsletter - it´s very inspiring! Busy day today at the office - with little time for blogging. See ya!

Bake your friends a cake

I just love this illustration by Copenhagen based VenomYum - and make sure to check out the website full of goodies. The title says: Bake your friends a cake - you never know when they are gone.
And a Happy Birthday to 3 of my friends today!

This years "breast cancer awereness" print in DK

Here´s the print for this years Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Denmark. This year Julie Storm is the woman behind the design and I think she did a great job -you can see all the products here - or in the shops all over Denmark this month.

I designed the print last year - and hope this will inspire others to use their creativity and talents to support an issue close to their heart.

Get ready for lots of pink posts here during October - and feel free to grab my buttom to the right if you want to join the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Actually it´s an International event and please leave a message if you plan to go Pink for October too.
