One of my favorite fashion trends this spring is the beautiful pastels that designers are sending down the runway. From Louis Vuitton to Marc Jacobs, everyone is going blissfully romantic, and I see no reason why I can't indulge in the trend around my home. Here are a few of my ideas for incorporating pastels into your favorite spaces. — Natasha from Little Pink Monster

You could also easily DIY this by rounding up a bunch of thrift store frames, priming them and painting them with a flat, pastel latex paint. Finally, I'd run some sandpaper over the edges for distressing. They're very pretty.

You can never go wrong with a chevron rug. I also love how the pastel is balanced with the lovely and stark black and white prints throughout the rest of the room.

Le Creuset's entire lilac collection is amazing, but I especially love this pitcher. I'd fill it with flowers and place it on my salvaged-wood table.
