The Pin Pulse

Pinterest is a fabulous way to find out about new styles & trends.  From ways to wear certain pieces to links that take you directly to the product page, Pinterest can help you transform your style in a matter of clicks.



https://pinterest.com/theimproperchef/- This is my personal Pinterest page.  From recipes to fashion to DIY ideas, there really is something for everyone.  I recently stumbled upon the ultimate color combination for my own personal taste- turquoise & coral.  Never in a million years would I have thought about putting these colors together,  but it works!


Another great fashion area to explore on Pinterest is celebrity style.  What's Sarah Jessica Parker stepping out in?  What fabulous dress is Kate Middleton wearing?  Which hairstyle is the must-have right now?  You'll be able to find it on Pinterest, no doubt.


Another Pinterest-related obsession for many of the fashion forward? Polyvore.  Polyvore lets you create your own outfits and links you to the website where you can buy the items.  Items range from $5 to the tens of thousands, but you can put together something very reasonable, order the pieces, and then pin your creation to Pinterest to share with the world.

There are also lots of great DIY projects that are fashion related- from making your own leg warmers/boot toppers to adding sequins to your favorite scarf, to embellishing a boring old pair of flats with some glitter.  Many of the DIY pins link you directly to the project instructions, so you'll be on your way to creating your own signature style in no time!  I followed the directions to make some fabulous glitter flats- link & pic below (the picture is from the blog, not my personal project).

So pour yourself a glass of wine, sit down at the computer, and start pinning!
