Think Pink, a new Audrey Letter

On Friday I went into BHV depart. store for ribbons and perfume cards. I was confronted with a ton of pink. 

Even Mariage Frères has gone pink with their packaging and teapots!

Passing through the women’s clothing floor…more pink for Fall! What’s going on? 

Naturally I don't own anything in pink but I better get on it.

Givenchy has a special collection of mood perfumes & they are all pink. Titles: trouble-Fête · Sans Artifice · Peur de Rien · Oiseau Rare · Indompté · Sans Merci · Garçon Manqué. 

Pink is no longer just for little girls. 

Guys are wearing plenty of pink.

In the metro station - pink ads. 

I was on my way to the art store. I bought some Opera pink of course.

Not just Funny Face is mad for pink. W
hy pink? Pink is a calming color associated with love, kindness, and femininity. People immediately associate the color with all things feminine and girly. Some shades of pale pink are described as relaxing, while very bright, vibrant shades can be stimulating or even aggravating.

Audrey Hepburn said she ‘believed in pink’. I think she was on to something. 

I got inspired to paint
 a new pink Audrey single letter
Dolce & Gabbana just showed this OTT pink gown in Venice. I’m going to order shortly 
☺️💕🐻💋 Stay in the pink dear PBers🙏❤️

    I watched Funny Face yesterday, it reminded me of when I was a girl, my mother went next door to watch it on one of the first color tv’s in the neighborhood and loved all the pinks. Now I look forward to watching more as soon as possible.

  11. I've been looking at your Audrey posts. I waited on her in 1980 when I worked at the shoe salon in Bergdorfs. She was shooting a film in the store and I sold her a pair of Bruno Magli shoes. she didn't try them on, she was a size 8.5

  12. Omg! She was supposed to be a size 10.5
    Someone said she had 50 pairs of Jax capri pants so I’m not surprised she didn't try them on
    I only saw her at the NYFilm Festival from the peanut gallery :((

  17. I always loved that she eschewed plastic surgery. She got older but she was always elegant.

    I think the first one is great! Captures her beautiful smile, although I agree it must be hard to draw.
    Incidentally I am beginning a recreation of the pink dress she's wearing in that drawing today, so this was very serendipitous.
    It all looks beautiful, as always.
