design obsession: pinterest

if you were to write the history of "sophisticating" and were required to classify the last two months of my blogging life, you'd undoubtedly refer to them as "the quiet years." rather than bore you with a million excuses as to why i've been so silent, suffice it to say: the day job launched into full swing (and took its rightful place as afternoon and evening job as well)...and... i have discovered PINTEREST.


perhaps you're living under a rock and have not embraced the wonder that is pinterest. it's essentially a giant virtual pinboard for everything you stumble across that you want to remember. "but i bookmark," you say. oh no. no, no no my friend. you must pin. it's all about pinning now.

i thought i'd spend my "excuse" blog post instead giving you reason to thank me. albeit distracting, pinterest has given me the opportunity to feel that my late night internet foraging is not in vain, even though it hasn't resulted in a blog post. until now.

here is a sneak peek from each of my "boards." you see, dear friends, with pinterest i am not limited to discussions of parties and interiors. oh no. i am extending my sophisticated search to all corners of the world. clothing, accessories, travel, hair-dos--you name it. it's all there.

...happy sophisticating...

I bough those Lanvins! They weren't quite as amazing as I wanted them to be, and the toe box comes up a little higher than it looks, but the pitch was right so they're fairly comfortable. All to say they're now on sale and if you have a shoe guy at Nordstrom, he might be able to find gem for you, I'm sure they're cheap now!
