Pinterest Lately (Summer 2014)

It's been quite a while since I did a Pinterest blog post (or just about any type for that matter). Here are some of the images that have recently inspired me...


"Does this black match?" My life story.



Need to get a pair of these Steeler leggings for the season! Here We Go!



I love a cutting board spread. 



This Dior Gel Coat is one of the best top coat nail polishes I've ever used. Hardens the nail and prolongs the life of your mani.


& speaking of Dior. Loving this BB Creme in place of a foundation. Light coverage but leaves my skin looking flawless. I'm clearly in shade 01.


Still lusting after a card catalog piece of furniture.


This picture warms my heart.


Matte Black Pumpkin. So pumped for Halloween!


.


Love the September InStyle UK Cover. Kate Bosworth has the best face in Hollywood.


This vintage chair. I just want to curl up on it with a book.


Pygmy Goats. I want one! Wonder what their temperament is like.


Cliffs in France. Wanderlusting...


a grand thing...

*One of those songs that I have to play at least 15 times in a row.

Pinterest Monthly: August 2013


Blue Velvet Sofa. Need to find one of these beauties! In love.


Like this little DIY. Spray paint those classic magnetized alphabet letters an updated color. Of course, I fixate on gold but a metallic silver or sleek black would also look nice depending on the look of your fridge. Stainless steel and silver probably wouldn't be the best pairing.


Another DIY that I have to do! Just get some small geodes, gemstones or rocks and adhere them to standard bottle stoppers. Similar pieces go for a pretty penny. Gorgeous for wine nights or a bar cart.


Erin Fetherston recently curated a collection on one of my new favorite design/decor sites, One Kings Lane. She has impeccable taste. One of the things that stood out to me was her love of vintage Florentine. You can find a really nice selection of various pieces on eBay.


On my to-read list! I need to start doing more Get Lit posts. Book reviews, especially.


That Tyler Knott Gregson and his way with words. He's the poet laureate of the internet.


I saw this print when I was watching a YouTube closet tour. Yes, I spend my time watching strangers show what they have inside their homes. Anyway, this made me laugh. For most women, this certainly seems to be the case.


I'm loving black and kelly green for fall. I still need to find a hat like this one that suits me but unfortunately, I'm thinking I just might not be able to pull it off. You kinda have to be 6'0" to get away with the street urchin look.

I'm on a bit of a "no buy" until the holidays. No more makeup. No more clothes. No more shoes. No more purses. With a few allotted exceptions for travel, of course. But this shearling handbag trend (along with shearling shoes, coats, etc.) that Proenza Schouler kickstarted has me on the hunt.


I've recently discovered the Lime Crime brand. The unicorn packaging sold me. I picked up the lipstick shade Geradium. Love it!


These are a few of my favorite things. Need to have this in my closet.


Doesn't this gorgeous stretch of coastal roadway in New Zealand just make you want to go for a long drive in a convertible with good music and even better company? Sigh...


And those two. Fuck those two.


Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina. The largest private residence in America. Would love to take a trip down to beautiful Asheville and check this place out.


A Moroccan leather pouf, an elegant tray with some feminine votives... and I'm in a trance.

Sun in Leo, July 22 - August 23


As my Sun sign is in Aquarius, Leo is therefore, my partner sign. I appreciate that Leos are natural leaders. The ones that I know are very likable. Leos are usually the first to be spotted in a crowd or looked to for guidance. In my experience, Leos are generally very popular, good-looking (great heads of hair) and successful. With the Sun as their ruler, those blessed with this placement are generally lucky in life. Many go on to be famous, talented, wealthy or quite powerful in whatever they choose to pursue.

Personal attributes that many with Sun in Leo (or strong Leo placement) may possess:

  • Confident
  • Ambitious
  • Leader

Book Club!



Starting next month, I will be doing a book club on my YouTube channel as well as here on my blog! As an aspiring author and someone who works with novelists on a daily basis, having a book club seemed appropriate! I don't read books nearly as much as I should. I thought that this book club might be a nice incentive to get some reading done! I'm still trying to come up with a cute name for the book club but for now, I have announced the first 4 books that I will be reading and reviewing! Please note, I will read the book the month prior to reviewing it. Example: It's April and I am now reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I will review it in May!

May: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
June: Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me by "Various Victims"
July: A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare
August: This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald

If you have any suggestions for books or any names that you like for the club, please feel free to send me a message or comment! :)

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
I'm living life in beautiful Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I hold a journalism degree from West Virginia University. I have worked in television news, fashion marketing, PR, and cosmetic sales. My love for writing and sharing with the world my various passions is strong. One of my many ambitions is to be published and continue creating in the fields of digital and print media, literature and film. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, going to concerts, reading, following Pittsburgh sports and traveling as often as possible. Some of my favorite things include beauty, style, architecture, books, tarot and astrology, thrifting and my shih-tzu, Ireland. I’m engaged to the love of my lifetimes and we look forward to starting our next chapter together. If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you!
