Look: Brick Garden

Last weekend I took a trip out to Galena, Illinois, a historic village close to the Mississippi River near Illinois and Iowa. The town is very antique and most of the houses and buildings were built in the 1800s. I stayed at the Galena Renaissance Suites, a hotel built in the 1850's. Each room was uniquely decorated and the gardens had a few statues of gargoyles. The beautifully decorated grounds offered many opportunities to take pictures. The above pictures were taken by the upstairs deck overlooking the gardens.

Speaking of "Renaissance" I often wear this dress to the Renaissance Faire held every year in Bristol Wisconsin.

How about a Q&A??

What camera do you use? - Nikon D5200

How did you get into style blogging? I was inspired by the site Lookbook.nu.  So I created a blog that I can post more pictures.  It gives me a way to express my creativity .

Where did you come up with the name Purging of Pink?  I was trying to find a name for my blog but I couldn't come up with anything so I asked my friend who is great with words.  He gave me a list of crazy names such as Bum Whiskers, The Cyclops Winks, and Platypus Whisperer.  I like how Purging of Pink sounds so that's what I chose.  Shout out to JC that helped me come up with the name.

What can't you life without? Fruit. I'm on a quest to try all the different edible fruits in the world.  Not much of a fan of durian though.  I love going to different countries and trying all the exotic fruits such as star apple and sweetsop from Jamaica, mangosteen from Thailand, and guava from Mexico.
