Molly Young clearly has a thing for pink, and covering her apartment, as well as her person, in the color has given her deep pleasure. Here are a few of her favorite pink things, some of which she owns, some of which she covets, one of which will make your Greek yogurt taste a lot more delicious.
Pink LePen
Use a pink LePen (a cult Japanese-made pen) to scribble on a pink Post-it note for the ultimate note-writing pinksanity experience!

1920s Sherbet Cups
Here is my favorite breakfast recipe: Put Greek yogurt in a sherbet glass and pretend that it is ice cream. Add fudge.

Jill Stuart Crepe Floral Dress
Now this is my kind of “insane clown posse”! The circus-y statement collar adds a dash of Bozo chic to this ladylike look. Also, if you’re going to purchase an expensive dress, you may as well buy one that hides food stains.

Pink Licorice
Licorice Allsorts may lack a certain fundamental appeal, flavor-wise, but they make up for it in their high-concept design. I sprinkle bags of them into various tiny vessels around my apartment. Unlike most candies, they are gross enough that I won’t eat too many in one sitting.

Delpozo Pale-Pink Bow Wedge Shoe
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, pedicured model feet tied up in pink-patent string — these are a few of my favorite things.
$1,000 at Moda Operandi
Assembly Home Shaggy Sweater Pillow
A haute Muppet for the tuffet makes a very nice hostess gift.

Raspberry-Pink Melamine Plates
Melamine dishes are tailor-made for the clumsy adult: They are unbreakable, unstainable, and easily washable. Have you ever served salad on a richly saturated pink plate? It is well nigh psychedelic.

Ettore Sottass’s Tahiti Lamp
Nobody does pink like an Italian! If I ever get married, I’m going to dictate that my wedding cake replicate the exact shape, color, and size of a Tahiti Lamp.
