The great (bedroom) debate

My bedroom is in need of a makeover.  Let's just say my bedroom hasn't received much love since I moved into my fabulous apartment over a year ago...it is pretty much the dumping ground for all my s*** when I tidy up before a party...and according to feng shui experts that directly translates to yours truly receiving or NOT receiving much love.  (another post all together!!)  

So it's time to redecorate...or really...declutter, organize, and overhaul my bedroom.  I want my bedroom to be girly, warm and inviting but sophisticated and modern...like a fantastic five star hotel room where I could lounge for hours. 

Here is my question lovelies....peach (which is really light orange so of course that's how I'm leaning) or pink.  The pics above are some inspiration.  Thoughts??

Cool but not cold

Happy New Year!!!!

I hope everyone had an amazing NYE!!  My friends and I had a blast!!  So much fun that we didn't even stop to take any pics...well, a few...but those aren't blog-worthy...if you know what I mean.  Wink.

Here's a pic of my dress...H&M baby!!!  And yes I had my dancing shoes on...danced my way into 2011!!


Here's to a fantastic 2011!!  I've never been so excited for the year ahead!!

Much love!!
