I loved this idea for “One Word Wednesday” over on Rinse, Repeat (a blog you have to check out – Bethany is an expat who has lived in Kuwait for the last year). A word is chosen a week in advance and you have a week to take an Instagram shot inspired by that word. This week’s word was pink. And what a perfectly chosen word for the spring we’re having so far in Brussels.
Winters are long and boring in Brussels – it essentially drizzles for 6 months on end. {I’m Minnesotan – real winters mean feet of snow…} But then May hits and EVERYTHING blooms. Magnolia trees and cherry blossoms come to life on every corner and the Royal Greenhouses open for a few precious weeks, filled to the brim with pink flowers.
And while we are the subject of pink… I just have to mention, that nothing, NOTHING screams PINK more than Gwyneth Paltrow’s Valentino dress at the Met Gala on Monday evening. Complete props to Sarah Jessica Parker for wearing a kick-ass {there really is no other way to describe it} headpiece but few people can pull off pink like Gwyneth.
