the world in 1897, when the sun never set ...there are still some forlorn references to this -
a book, The last pink bits - travels through the remnants of the British Empire
an exhibition,The last pink bits on the map, "Pearls of the Seven Seas" is the theme of a one-day open day at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London ... celebrating the 14 remaining British Overseas Territories, which range from specks on the maps such as Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha to the pink wedge of the British Antarctic Territory. Attractions include talks, musicians and Cayman Island Rum Cake.
the world's moved on, and now pink bits are closer to home as it were
girls flaunt pink all the time. sometimes pink deepens to red.
we show pink on our lips, our shoes, our bags. like this lovely clutch from bagandshoe.com - i have a 70s glomesh bag that shimmies through the same pinks and reds.
last year i decided i wanted to wear a pink dress on my birthday. it didn't happen last year but perhaps it will this year, something vintage would be lovely
this dress is kind of kooky - some antebellum nightmare, but i love the rosettes and the colour is great. too musk for me, though, wouldn't suit me at all. 
this colour is better and the style is more likely, similar to a leona edmiston dress i have.
ooh leona edmiston, hot pink pippa maxi - i could cut off that dumb last tier... even better pink
of course, there's no need to be quite this obvious.
one of the lovely things about pink bits is that they can be hidden like jewels secreted away, these beautiful jewelled rings are by katherine bowman - she makes the precious exquisite, like a fairy tale, like a star-burst
this is a detail from a ring for pieta
and this is the rich & glorious random ring
for style and cheek in flashing pink, though, it's hard to go past a galah,
and it's nice to see they score bigger than the british empire in pink bits
