Pinterest Monthly: February 2014



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.

Sun in Pisces, February 19 - March 20


I've always been a fan of female Pisces. Three of my best friends in the world were born in the early part of this sign. As I've mentioned before, despite having strong Aquarian (Air) placement in my chart, I'm Water dominant. Perhaps this is the reason that I've always gotten along swimmingly with the Fish people (pun intended). But it's not just me, Pisces have a reputation for being one of the friendliest and most well-liked signs in the Zodiac. Many of the Pisces in my life are among the funniest and most outgoing people I know.

My photo
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!
