## Overview

Shabby chic landing page with faded pastel tones and vintage romance. Ideal for convites de casamento, embalagens acolhedoras, marcas nostálgicas, decoração de interiores. AI-ready template. Shabby Chic emerged in the late 1980s through Rachel Ashwell's Los Angeles storefronts, where she sold slipcover sofas and flea-market furniture repainted in chalky whites. The aesthetic drew heavily from English country houses — not the polished ones, but the ones where generations of use had softened every edge. Faded chintz, peeling paint, and sun-bleached linen weren't flaws; they were the entire point.

The style hit mainstream retail hard in the late 1990s and early 2000s, spawning an entire cottage industry of intentionally distressed furniture and muted floral textiles. What made it stick — beyond the obvious Pinterest appeal — was its rejection of modernist perfection. In a decade obsessed with minimalism and chrome, Shabby Chic said: wear and patina carry more beauty than anything fresh off a factory line.

As a design language, it codified something decorators had always known intuitively — that warmth comes from imperfection, and that a room (or a brand) feels most inviting when it looks like it has a history, even a fabricated one.

## Execution Rules

1. Strictly follow the defined visual style.
2. Use high-quality inline SVG icons (Heroicons or Lucide style) — NEVER use emojis as icons.
3. Add `cursor-pointer` and smooth `hover` states (transition-all) on all interactive elements.
4. Required Page Structure:
   - Navbar (Logo + Links + CTA)
   - Hero Section (Impactful Headline + Subtitle + 2 buttons + 3D/Abstract visual element via CSS)
   - Features (3 cards with icons)
   - Testimonials (3 cards)
   - Pricing (3 tiers, highlight the middle one)
   - Final CTA
   - Full Footer with social links, privacy policy, terms of use, contact and SEO links.
5. All text content must be in English.
6. The visual must be CLEARLY distinct — do not create a "default Bootstrap" design. Force the use of the provided design system variables.
7. Use `<style>` tags in the head for custom classes (especially for complex backdrop-filter effects and animations) that Tailwind CDN doesn't cover.
8. Full Responsiveness: Layout must adapt perfectly to Mobile, Tablet and Desktop (vertical stack on mobile).
9. Include basic SEO, Viewport and Open Graph meta tags in `<head>`.
10. Footer must contain: Copyright 2026, Secondary navigation links and Social media icons.
11. Make the creative decisions needed to deliver the complete, functional result now.
