Happy Monday, all! When thinking about what to greet you all with this morning, I decided to put together a fun inspiration board for the Love Shoot that I’m dreaming of doing with my guy Jordan and our puppy Wyatt sometime this fall/early winter.
Check out my inspiration board below, which I created on Style Me Pretty, a lovely wedding blog that showcases creative and fun photography sessions! [All images via Style Me Pretty; for individual image credits, see this link]
Hi all! I’m back with another style board from Polyvore featuring ModCloth clothing (click here to see my picks for an elopement!). This time, I’m tackling fashion for a fun summer activity: camping! I hope that you enjoy my selections!
NOTE: I wasn’t paid or perk’d to showcase these picks from ModCloth, or to promote Polyvore; I’m just a crazy fashion lover who had fun putting together a style board!
Have you lovelies heard about the ultimate time suck that is Pinterest? It’s so enticing that I stop watching “The Hills” on Netflix in order to pin. You hear that, Internet? I actually STOP WATCHING REALITY TV (my third love, after my husband/family and my dog) in order to get my pin on.
What’s pinning, you ask? Well, let me tell you. Pinterest allows you to keep track of EVERYTHING you love that you find online. Plus, you can categorize your favorite finds according to type. So, say for instance that you find a set of dishes that you love online somewhere. You can create a board (which is what Pinterest calls their organizing feature) named “Kitchen” that you place all of your kitchen-themed loves in. That cute little onesie with a tie that you found on Etsy? Now it won’t get lost in your Etsy favorites; once you pin the photo, a picture of this adorable onesie, plus the link to where it’s for sale on Etsy, is now all housed on Pinterest, most likely on your “My Uterus is Aching” board. :)
Now, maybe I’m the only one obsessed with that onesie (really? no one else is drawn to it like I am? what’s wrong with you people?! heehee), but let’s say that you’re looking for, I don’t know, a new rug. Get thyself to your favorite rug website (where does one shop for rugs? IKEA!), and pin away.
How does one pin things? Pinterest has this handy little “pinning tool,” so whenever you are on a site and you say to yourself, “I love this! I must pin it!,” click the “Pin It” pinning tool, and it will automatically appear on your Pinterest page. Me, I have the “Pin It” tool on the toolbar of my Internet browser, so it’s super handy.
Pinterest also allows you to “follow” people’s pins. Similar to Facebook or Twitter, where you “add XYZ person as a friend” or “follow XYZ person,” you “follow” XYZ person’s pins on Pinterest, which means that their pins (what they find interesting/inspiring) will show up on your homepage, so you get to see what’s inspiring other people, too!
Click yourself over to Pinterest, and request an invite to join. When I requested my invite, I was invited within two days. After you’re in, let me know! I’d love to follow your pins, and I’d love for you to follow me. I’m on Pinterest here.
Already on Pinterest? Let me know in the comments! I’d love to follow you and swap Pinterest love stories.
NOTE: I wasn’t paid or perk’d to mention Pinterest; I’m just a big fan of their site, and I wanted to share the love!

No, I’m not pregnant…but if I was expecting a little one, here’s an idea for a baby nursery! I’m working on my PhotoShop skills, so this is my first project; check below the mood board for where to purchase all of the items that I featured!
A little backstory: I recently began following On to Baby, an off-shoot of Wedding Chicks. It’s full of baby-related inspiration and design, and for a blog-obsessed, cute-baby-obsessed gal like me, I can’t resist the cuteness! So, here’s a taste of what I’m digging for nursery style right now.
[An aside: I'm totally digging the use of this crib - I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up in my house one day!]
I love the idea of using the Hemnes 3-drawer chest from IKEA for a changing table, and the black Jenny Lind crib is a modern twist on a classic favorite. If the baby was a boy or a girl, I think that the linens (pictured in the top right corner) would be a perfect gender neutral pick.
