Blogging...The Cherry Blossom Girl

Our search for quirky interiors continues as we have recently discovered French fashion designer Alix's blog, The Cherry Blossom Girl. If you loved our On the Set Feature of Penelope and that perfect shade of dusty rose pink, you will probably adore this girl's room. It's so whimsical, with obvious influences from Alice in Wonderland, Le Petit Prince, and touches of Japanese illustrations. Take a look at some of our favorite photos below the jump...

030409_CB3_miujpgGorgeous Miu Miu heels and Repetto flats in similar muted shades share the corner with a stack of fashion magazines, a pink hat box, and a retro mint phone.


030409_CB4_closet.jpgAll the walls (including the door!) have this whimsical and romantic landscape painted in a soft pink, sloping and rising around the room.


030409_CB5_bedlights.jpgInstead of a traditional bedside lamp, Alix takes a cue from the wall design and tacked up white string lights that look like...cherry blossoms. Her "inspiration board" is simple: inspiring photos and ephemera get pinned on the wall...

I love this, and I'm 44. It's funny, because I was never girly when I actually was a little girl.

I have to channel Joan Crawford here - wire hangers in a closet always manage to make it look messy.

i wish these rooms were left untouched so we really see the way a person lives in them,

i was confused cause i saw 2 beds.. who has 2 beds in their room?, and then i noticed the last picture and the second one up from that is in front of the same wall...

I think this is great for a teenage girl (12 - 16 years old).

No offense but i think that she is already too old for this girly stuff, she is 25 years old.
