The 80's are back & I like it!

Mauve is not dead!  Only revisited, restirred, and reincarnated--meaning its appearance and what it is blended with and surrounded by has changed.  No more teal and mauve together--please--no, nada, zip, zilch...  Like most other colors currently, pink is taking on a "greige" tone.  And on the contraire, I am really diggin' it!  Take a gander at these ultra fabulous environments and fashion using MAUVE!!

 Look at that chandelier above.  Is that not the coolest?  I have to find out who makes that, or perhaps it was a custom, artisan piece.  I would love to see it lit up (assuming it does do that)!!  For your viewing delight, below is a little better close up.  Sorry, not the best pic--but it does give you a much better view.

Marc Jacobs--Yes, I know there's teal in the background.  No, no don't even think of it--remember, this is a fashion show!
