Pretty embraced

What better way to embrace the pretty than with the new Elizabeth Arden Pretty perfume campaign.
It has leapt out of the latest InStyle magazine as a brilliant spread full of pretty pink flowers, a vintage lounge, a dreamy tulle dress and red heels.

I've also found a great behind-the-scenes story from the photoshoot for the campaign over at Talking Makeup. Mark Vincent, Vice President Creative Director at Elizabeth Arden talks about the inspiration behind the campaign: "The idea for the TV was to capture that sweet, personal moment between a woman and a mirror when she pleasingly sees that she’s pretty-and how being pretty affects everything around her.” Check out the TV ad here. I love the paper flowers growing out of the walls. So beautiful! It's so good every now and then to get totally carried away with girliness!
I have also been taken away an a side trip of paper flowers thank to the Diane James Home blog. I particualrly like the Channel image...and then there is this...

My talented sister-in-law, Silja makes handmade cards and she recently send me this beautiful package of sweets from Finland. I love the flowers and the colours are soft and pretty. You can see her blog here, but it is all in Finnish!
