Jimmie Martin thinking in pink....

Firstly , I want to thank to my  dearest friend Jane Catania for inspiring me this blog today !

“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."-Audrey Hepburn

 Sorry but this one makes laugh ...:)

 Our reaction to color is almost instantaneous and has a profound impact on the choices we make everyday.Pink is the color of happiness and is sometimes seen as lighthearted so today I'm  looking through a pink veil .Happy pink  weekend :)

A white story by Paolo Roversi

"White...is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, ...as fierce as red, as definite as black...God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white." -- G. K. Chesterton

I'd always loved white ...it's one of my favorite colors . I feel empowered when I wear white clothes and can be myself .I love white interiors. Some people dismiss white as boring, or think it cold and stark, but to me white is multifaceted, and offers endless possibilities .

I just step into a  fantasy, magical fairytale white world and get ready to meet the new version of Snow White in Paolo Roversi’s mind .I really love the texture feeling ,there's something about this new Snow White that evokes innocence and mystery  to me .It's a delightful mixture of wonderfully moments of exquisite sadness , magic realism mystery and innocence..It's " A white story by Paolo Roversi
