Picks from Pinterest

I haven’t been on Pinterest that much this summer, and I’ve definitely missed it. Is that sad? It feels kind of sad…but I love Pinterest, I just can’t help it! But it’s almost fall, which is my favorite season for fashion, so you can bet I’ll be browsing Pinterest much more now for inspiration.

Here are some of my recent pins.

1. Love this pom-pom bedspread.
2. This messy lob is just the perfect style for fall.
3. These watermelon mojitos look so refreshing.
4. How fun are these DIY cactus pincushions?
5. I’m still loving midi skirts. This one is an adorable print!
6. These tips for adding personality to a rental are really helpful.

Picks from Pinterest: Summer Dreams

We finished up our spring finals last week, and launched right into our summer semester on Monday. It’s hard not to have a break in between semesters, but I’m feeling certain that summer is on its way, which helps a lot. The weather has gotten more humid, we’ve had a few storms and some rain, and the temperatures are starting to consistently hit the 60s and nearing the 70s now. Plus, the air is starting to smell like summer (I know that sounds kind of crazy, but it really does!).

With summer on it’s way, I’m dreaming of laying by the pool, farm markets, and making s’mores with my family’s backyard fire pit.

Here are some of my recent Picks from Pinterest:

1. These leopard oxfords are an absolute dream.

2. I’m already thinking I might bake this for my birthday this summer:

3. These Wearable Planters on etsy would make an amazing gift

4. I bought this dress a few weeks ago. It feels like the perfect transition piece from spring to summer:

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Picks from Pinterest: January

I’m sure you’ve heard me say it (or scream it from the rooftops!) several times before, but I’m not really a winter person. I like when it snows and I love skiing, but I am much happier when the days are light and sunny and warm. So winter can be a pretty rough season for me to get through. This year has been even harder, because I’m adjusting to the constant-gray-skies of Pittsburgh (at least in CO, winter has some sunny days, too!).

Luckily, for the first time in my life, I’m going on a vacation during my spring break! I’m going somewhere sunny and warm–I can’t wait! It’s helping me get through this season.

Anyway, hopefully you’re dealing with winter better than I am. Here are some of my most recent Pinterest finds:

1. The cutest DIY Animal Mat — I could see making this in a larger size (and maybe making it a leopard or a bear) for myself!

2. Dreaming of my spring vacation with this adorable bikini

3. My inspiration for all of my outfits this month — gotta love a boyfriend jean + layers combo.

4. As soon as I have a home of my own (and a little more time), I’m making a teepee for myself.

5. These shoes!

6. I’ve been really drawn to animal prints this season (even more than usual!). This coat is perfect.

Those are some of the things I’ve been obsessing over this month. Hope it’s warm wherever you are (even if that means you’re curled up under blankets next to the space heater, like me!).

Picks from Pinterest: Welcoming Winter

If you know me, you probably laughed out loud at that title. “Kelly, welcoming winter? Ha!” you probably scoffed.

I’m not the biggest supporter of winter. Although I love skiing and appreciate the beauty of freshly fallen snow, I am definitely more of a summer girl at heart. I think it has something to do with the fact that I get pretty seasonally affected–I have a really hard time dealing with the cold, gray-ness of winter. I need a lot of sunshine in my life!

But even though I might not love winter with all my heart, there are always good things to look forwards to. I’m desperately excited to be able to head home for winter break and see my family–it’s been a really hard thing for me to be so far away! I’m really looking forwards to being home and spending time with my fam.

Here are some of my favorite finds from Pinterest lately:

1. These DIY citrus coasters would make a festive and amazing gift for any season

2. I’ve been dreaming of these Lacrosse waterproof shoes for a while now…

3. These pretty dolled-up dresser drawers would make any room feel instantly warmer

4. This pink coat is amazing

5. I hardly ever drink, but the last couple times I’ve gone out with friends I’ve ordered G&T, which is my new favorite drink. This gin fizz looks like a yummy alternative!

It sounds like the East Coast is getting hit with another polar vortex this week (it’s so cold here this weekend!) so I’m going to try to stay bundled up. I’m trying to get a space heater for my bedroom so that I don’t get so cold while I’m studying–these old houses are neat but the heat sure doesn’t work that well!
Stay warm out there!
