New WEBsession: Pinterest

Have you ever wanted to save a photo or web find with just a click of a button? I know I used to keep a look book of  photos copied from my web searches or have a long list of bookmarked sites; now, there’s no need for that extra work! Pinterest.com is here to save the day. Install their app, and “pin” away. Make as many inspiration boards as you like. Mine range from Gorg Decor to Baubles (see below).

See a polish color you love? Pin it! How about a chair that would go perfectly in your room? Pin it!  The site saves your pins and takes you back to the website at your whim. Plus, you can share them with friends or even let them add to your boards. It’s a perfect way to get a party theme established or work on wedding day arrangements.

Under My … Trenchcoat!

Spring has finally sprung!! Some of the best things about my FAVorite season are:

  • no more winter coats
  • flowers in bloom everywhere
  • getting to wear pretty pastels and colors again

In keeping with the spring theme, pastels and neutrals are very in. To make sure even my nails were in style, I sought out polish colors from the SEPHORA by OPI line. Let’s face it, OPI knows what they are doing when it comes to nail lacquers. PLUS, their witty and whimsical names make the lines even more appealing.

Under My Trenchcoat” is a glamorous combination of taupe and gold…and is my favorite nail pick this season. It’s the perfect balance of matte and sparkly that can be stunning in one coat or three!!

Carry On

I have friends all over the country, and I often take weekend trips to visit them in their various locales. With the TSA rules and airline baggage fees these days, it is incredibly annoying to check luggage.

For these brief trips, I LOVE carrying on my Vera Bradley duffel bag. The large duffel has the perfect dimensions to fit in any overhead compartment. Plus, I love toting this bag through the sea of black carry-on luggage found in every airport terminal.

I have the Cambridge pattern (see above), but the beauty of Vera Bradley is there is a pattern for everyone! Check out http://www.verabradley.com/ to find the print that speaks to you.

Plus, Vera Bradley’s lines of luggage and travel accessories make packing so much fun! Be prepared for check-in and security with a zip id case. Protect your bling with a jewelry box or book. Keep liquids and makeup separate with a variety of totes and cases.

Why wait at baggage claim when you can walk off the plane ready to explore?! Travel has never been so chic and easy!
