How Very Pinteresting

You all know about Pinterest by now, right? Well, if you don’t, I’m going to tell you about it. And if you do…. I’m going to tell you about it anyway. I have folder after folder on my computer saved with so many images. You know what I’m talking about. Anything pretty… right click/save. Its how I roll. Imagine my delight when I started to hear about this website - Pinterest - where you can store all of those images into organized virtual boards. I was desperate to get an invite. It was all I could think about. I wanted to pin so badly! Well thankfully, my invite came…. and now I am a pinterest addict. 

I’ve talked about this site on here before, but Pinterest contacted me and asked me to do a post about my boards. And since I probably would be talking about it anyway, I said why not!

What I love about Pinterest, is not only can I see all these images in one spot, but it automatically links back to its original source. Which is the biggest problem with saving them to my computer. And doesn’t everything so nice when its all pretty and organized?

I have 9 boards, including a DIY, hair inspiration, home decor ideas, and yummy foods to make. But two of my busiest boards have to be my style inspiration and 'most wanted' boards. I read so many style blogs on a daily basis, that I am constantly seeing so many gorgeous and inspirational outfits that I would love to try myself. Now, all I have to do is simply pin one of the images to this board and I can keep going back to see what I wanna try next! I’ve already replicated one outfit in this post. 

And then of course, in my most wanted, I keep track of all those things that I would love to own. Whether or not I ever actually do. For those of you that like to keep to a list when you go shopping, this is perfect.  

And personally, I have also found Pinterest a great place to keep track of my wedding inspiration. Now in the beginning of my wedding planning, I constantly go back to this board for ideas, and to make sure everything I’m doing flows with the mood I am going for. Seriously, the best thing I could ask for. 

Phew, that was a lot!

But does Pinterest sound right up your alley? Well, the site is invite only. But guess what? Leave a comment for me telling me what you would use Pinterest for with your email address, and you could receive an invite from Pinterest in your mailbox!* Good luck, you have until Wednesday the 27th to leave your comment. 

*Again, Pinterest did ask me to write this post. They will be featuring one of my boards, along with other fashion bloggers boards, and are offering up to 15 invites for you guys. 

Another Day

Sorry folks, not much to say today. Monday was a another easy, simple day. 

And how many times can I feature this bag in outfit posts? I should start keeping count. Or maybe I should do a ‘whats in my bag’ post. Hmmmmm.

Dressed Up Sunday

worn on April 16th, 2011

Ok, not really dressed up, but considering I believe sundays are for sweatpants or jeans and tee shirts, this was an accomplishment for me. The reason - we went into Boston in the morning to meet my BFF and her boy for a little brunch. It was fantastic to see her, and my breakfast was delicious!

And I can finally cross a jean jacket off my wish list! Boo thinks its funny. He says it looks pretty 90’s-ish. I say…. cool. I do think I might take it in on the sides a bit. It might be a little too boxy for me. But I’m happy I finally got one! Good ol’ Goodwill :)

Project ReStyle #2

worn on April 15th, 2011

You may not be able to tell from the before picture ( I really should’ve photographed it on me), but this dress was actually floor length and you could’ve fit 3 of me in it. It was huuuuge. So not only did I rework the shape and length, I also turned it all around so the little cheetahs were right side up. And cut out the orange leaf-y stripes. I didn’t like them. Overall, I like what it is now. It ended up being shorter than I originally planned, but thats what I get for cutting without measuring. And I guess thats what little lacey slips are for :)

I wore it for our friday date night. We went to the new Max Brenners on Boylston and got our butts kicked by all the yummy chocolate-ness. Soooo yummy.

Anthropologie and Hockey

worn on April 14th, 2011

I recently received a 15% card in the mail from Anthropologie for my birthday, and you know I wasn’t going to wait long to use it. I ended up getting this sweater and skirt full price, and two more items on sale - but we’ll get to them later. Before now, my last few trips there have been…. eh. But I had handfuls of so many pretty things this time around! It was hard to narrow it down, But I’m pretty ecstatic with what I ended up getting. Happy (early, again) birthday to me!!

P.S - don’t forget to enter the giveaway over at The Daily Fashionista to win one of my bow tie necklaces!

Of course, I had to show some Sabres love. I actually show a lot more Sabres love on a daily basis than I show on here. But today is special. Its game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quaterfinals. Its playoff time baby!!! This is my playoff dance:

LETS GO BUFF-A-LO!!!!!

Its that time again - EBEW time. This time around we’re going with the maxi dress/ skirt. I had plenty to choose from, but I was pretty excited to break this one out. I got it awhile ago, but wanted to wait until I could wear it minus a cardigan. The back is so much fun, I wouldn’t want to cover it up!

Warm Weather and Creepers

worn on April 11th, 2011

You guys, it hit 70 degrees today- 70 degrees! I spent a lot of time outside… walking around the square, getting some Starboo (thats Boo talk for Starbucks), and making some money at Buffalo Exchange after cleaning out my closet. And then the rest of my afternoon was spent relaxing on our porch on our new patio set with my ipad. 

Thats where things got weird. 

I take a lot of pictures in semi-public places. But who would’ve thought the creepiest creepers would come around when I’m taking pictures on my own porch. Stopping to ask me what I’m taking pictures of, what kind of pictures I take of myself, how he can find my site, etc. Creeper.

For Boo

When we went to take my outfit photos yesterday, I had stolen the camera from Boo and snapped a few photos of him. When he saw my post, he looked at me with a sad puppy dog face and asked- “wheres my pictures?” Well here you go Boo… Your very own post.
