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...

Now Playing: "Beast of Burden" by The Rolling Stones
*One of those songs that I have to play at least 15 times in a row.

I've been really loving emeralds lately as I recently bought my sister a ring for her upcoming 30th birthday. This antique one from 1850 is stunning!

I've never really been a major fan of tulips but I've been appreciating them. Spring is in the air.

Admiring this painting by Gustav Klimt.

I really want a Pink Box tool box for my makeup collection. Would also work well for storing accessories, jewelry and skincare products. I actually like black but don't want my products to blend in with the drawers.

The Deluxe Syntho Fan Brush by Crown Brush. Picked this up on HauteLook. Love it for highlighting.

Word!

The bed inside the closet. Yes. via one of my favorite sites, Apartment Therapy.

Antipasti Bites. I very rarely eat meat but when I do, it's usually salami. Love this recipe.

Ever since I was little girl, despite being born, raised and educated in the Catholic religion, I've been drawn to Wicca. I've been studying this copy and fascinated by its contents.

Now Playing: "Heaven" by The Walkmen
*Perfectly used in the series finale of tonight's How I Met Your Mother.
PS: I totally predicted that ending from the first episode.

I love this idea of using vintage/antique door knobs as decorative wine stoppers.

I also think repurposing an antique tea set for holding vanity items is genius.

This is my type of room. Into everything pictured.

I've been loving kimonos and hats (not necessarily together but it definitely works). I picked up this beautiful lace style from Forever 21 but am still on the search for the perfect hat.

Obsessed with this blouse from Nasty Gal. Unfortunately, it's currently sold out but I'm checking the site like a hawk to snag it when it comes back in stock. 

Hopeless romantic.

Style inspiration for the streets.

I basically collect cosmetic pouches and other small leather goods. I really want this one! Need to track it down.

Dreaming of the sky. #LIKEaG6

Going to attempt this look when I paint my nails tonight. Stunning neutral gradient with a bit of a glitz.

 Apparently, this is a penthouse suite in Monaco. I need this in my life. The things one could do...

My current iPhone wallpaper. What can I say? I love lipstick. 

This looks incredible. Pittsburgh needs to put a Ferris Wheel observational thingy and/or Swings on Mount Washington. That would be a smart move for tourism and so much fun!

Since the Oscars are on this weekend, I thought I'd share this throwback shot. I loved this dress on Michelle Williams (as well as the hair and makeup!). She and Heath Ledger were such a sweet couple.

 True.

Now Playing: "Simplethings" by Miguel
*I really love Miguel but I wish the lyrics were 'drink with me, baby.'

I love this industrial window/door that flows into a warm, inviting breakfast nook. The contrast is so unpredictable and charming.

&

Excited to see mules finally coming back in style! The backs of my feet are so bony that it makes wearing heels and other types of stiff shoes unbearable. These are a dream.

Speaking of dreamy things, this little picture has been gracing my iPhone screen. I love the way it makes everything pinkish.

My current favorite length and style of hair. What I try to achieve when I put some effort into the tresses. 

I'm all about a cable knit pillow, throw blanket, masculine table and chandelier. Elegant cozy is where it's at.

I love this idea of turning your signature (or a loved one's) into a piece of jewelry! I'm definitely considering using this Etsy seller.

It has been my mission to make it to Europe before I turn 30. My 28th is tomorrow and I'm getting my passport this week! My friends and I are planning to go this Spring! Hopefully, it will be just the first of many wonderful excursions. :)

If only I could buy this Chanel beauty or something like it while in Paris. Now that's out of this girl's price range but a girl can dream.

And on the subject of dreams, what better place to daydream than in an out of control shower like this. Actually, you could do a lot of things in there.

My inspirational quote of 2014!


















Now Playing: "I'll Be Your Lover, Too" by Van Morrison
*This song is so underappreciated. Like most of Van's music, I could listen to it for hours (and do).
