Retro at Heart: Living in Pink and Florals

There’s a certain beauty in blending the charm of the past with the boldness of today — and I live for it! While the world spins faster with every trend and update, I enjoy the slower, sweeter, and vintage life. I am a retro woman at my core, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

There’s something about the timeless femininity of vintage style — the twirl of a full skirt, the elegance of a polished updo, the irresistible charm of lace gloves and dainty pearl earrings. I find so much joy in embracing an era where details mattered and beauty was celebrated in every thoughtful stitch and accessory.

My world is a soft swirl of pink hues — from blush to bubblegum — and, of course, an endless love affair with florals. Floral prints, floral decor, fresh flowers in my home... they are more than just pretty; they are a part of my spirit. Each bloom feels like a little nod to the grace and romance of the past.

Being a retro woman today is about living with intentional beauty. It's about choosing glamour in small ways every day, whether it’s slipping into a flowy dress just to run errands or placing a vase of fresh peonies by my bedside just because. It's knowing that femininity is powerful, that softness is strength, and that living colorfully never goes out of style.

Maybe the world isn’t covered in pastel diners and twirling dancers anymore, but in my heart — and in the life I build around me — it absolutely is. I cherish being a retro soul with a modern spark, painting every day with a little pink, a lot of florals, and a whole lot of love. 🌸💕
