I. Adore. Pinterest.
[shocker].
And I was so inspired by this pin the other day…
That I made a couple stops on my way home, purchased some $10 clearance flats at Payless and some pink ribbon, and made these…
I can’t say I love my version quite as much as the originals, but I think they’ll do 🙂
Do you all ever put your pins to action??

I am so excited about this week’s Friday’s Francies theme since blazers are my favorite fall pieces [good choice {av}!]. I especially love the look of boyfriend blazers (like this one from Jack Wills), because they have a bit more of a laid-back feeling but are still chic and professional. J Crew also has some in a ton of cute colors this season… loving this pink one!
Only problem I have with blazers is there gets to be a time in New England’s fall–>winter when they are not enough of a jacket, but also feel too bulky under anything else! How do you all do with wearing them under coats? Or do you just layer under the blazer to stay warm?

This weather is driving me nutty. Â 54 degrees and raining in June– disgusting!! Â That’s why I’m doing everything I can to avoid giving in to these gray days by sticking with bright and fun colors. Â And what about this pink does not scream summer?
Honeysuckle is PANTONE‘s 2011 Color of the Year. Â I see Elle Woods, summer tennis matches, and berry sorbets.
Though I find it too bright to paint with, I see no reason to not wear it to brighten up these dreary days! Â Pair these pieces with white accents to really make the color pop:

I was so inspired by this blog entry, that I had to design a couple sets for my favorite princess. Ironically, my favorite is the first set– who knew work clothes could be so cute and comfy? Cinderella sure did.
I would think Cindy would be a bow wearer, don’t you? Also, if aren’t already a user, check out Polyvore, a great site that lets you put together outfits using images imported from just about every online store imaginable, and totally free!
