Pink it up...pop it up baby.....
Think pink.... burn the blue..... bury the beige !
If you're an Audrey Hepburn fan, you surely recognize this cue from the opening song in Funny Face. We're enjoying a long holiday week-end here and although the Andalusian sky is still grey and grumpy, I feel quite chirpy and ready for a pink holiday. This is so curious as I swore to be totally uninterested by the quick-it's Christmas-let's decorate attitude. And then, last saturday, some friends came for tea. I made a chocolate cake, bought some pink wrapped sweets and pink cava, the Spanish version of champagne. And the holiday mood hit me and showed me the pinky way....
Do you remember a few years ago when black was de rigueur for Christmas decorations ? well, it was happening in France anyway. You could see black Christmas trees, black Baccarat glasses, black crystal chandeliers, ideas to elaborate a black sophisticated menu in every single decoration magazine. Very elegant indeed but a bit....gloomy isn't it ?
This morning I was leafing through a November issue of the French Elle and was delighted to read an article about film maker Jacques Demy whose work has been entirely compiled into a DVD. I'm a die hard fan of his movies especially Les demoiselles de Rochefort with Catherine Deneuve and her sister Françoise Dorléac. I just love the happy vibrant colours Demy used in this movie. In the picture below, Catherine and Françoise are singing their little number Nous sommes deux soeurs jumelles dressed in a simple white dress lined with a very tonic shade of lemon or pink. Exactly the kind of dress, I would love to wear for New Year's Eve ! And with the hat...of course...

My sister and I always sing the tunes from "Les demoiselles de Rochefort", especially "Nous sommes deux soeurs jumelles.." Love it.

The party dresses are gorgeous and the video was sweet. I hope you get to wear something fun like that on New Year's Eve. Post pics, Chica!
