Favorite Re-Pins on my Fashion Pinboards

 

Looks I Like


Today's fashion line-up is not just like any old fashion line-up. 

The images I am about to show you are off my my fashion pin boards. These particular images have the highest numbers or re-pins on my boards.

The above image is a classic uniform in my wardrobe. Jeans, fitted white shirt, fun flats, and a statement necklace, or in some cases a scarf. I bet most of you wear something similar as your own uniform for a casual look.


Looks To Make My Way


The reason I have a Looks To Make My Way board, is I see so many possibilities that I love, but they might have some elements that would not be figure flattering(skinny jeans), or age appropriate, or uncomfortable(sky-high heels).

I love the concept of this outfit, but the jeans would have to be a straight or boot-cut and the shoes would stay red, but be a shorter heel or flat for me.

I never eliminate a look that has elements I like, I just re-adjust the look to fit me.

Spring 2012

Love it all and would not change one element! This outfit could just about go anywhere that was a casual atmosphere. Well, maybe the messy hair, I will keep that for the young.

SHOES

My shoe board consist of mostly casual flats that are comfortable for my feet, and my style. 
These cute little numbers would be for a dressy affair. I am a lover of black, and white stripes, so I just had to pin these. Apparently others liked these too.


Accessories
Purses:

This purse needs no explanation! ♥♥♥ it!!

(For those of you that want this purse, Good Luck!! It is a Fossil re-issue and the only place I have seen it is on eBay. Fossil is carrying a new print that is a giraffe which is also pinned on my boards!)

Necklaces


Pearls are my go-to jewelry. I would rather have the luster of a pearl than the shine of a diamond.


Bracelets/Watches


Tortoise is a classic piece for any wardrobe. I have a tortoise bracelet that I got when I was 12 years old that I still wear. I would say that 50 years later and still beign worn makes it a classic piece in my wardrobe.

I had to add this piece. The very  top bracelet has the most pins for a delicate dressy piece. It is a monogrammed piece that I would love to have in my wardrobe.

Things I Would Like To Have



 This board consist of pieces I would like to purchase to add to my wardrobe.This sweater would be so slimming, and I think it would make a wonderful staple in any wardrobe. It seems as if other pinners felt the same way.


If I Were A Fancy Girl

I don’t dress up that often, an occasional wedding or a dinner cruise,
but other than that not very often.

 I still like to have a dress, or two that will fit into the fancy category. I also like to dream about being the lady that has lots of occasions to dress up. It is my way of playing dress-ups. That is why I HAD to have a pin-board for fancy dresses.

This seemed to be a favorite of everyone. It is also one of my favorites. I love the simple elegance of this look.


I just started pinning pieces on my Summer board, but there are clearly some favorites…..

SUMMER

You can never go wrong with a pair of patent Tory Burch sandals. I would get the green and/or black if I were purchasing a pair.


Fall will be here before we know it so I have also just started a Fall pin-board……

FALL


I read that a military look will be a look for this Fall. I love this sleeveless trench. I would wear it over long sleeve t-shirt, and some jeans. Obviously the heels would be flats, but I think I could pull this look off. I actually already have the trench in a camel. I bought it last season!

I will finish off this fashion line-up with my hair pin board.

I have worn a classic graduated bob for as long as I can remember. It goes up and down by 3-4 in. So most of the looks on my pin board will be a classic look. Today we are talking about the most re-pinned pins so let’s see which hairstyle got the most pins………..
HAIR

This was everyone’s favorite.



Now you have the favorite Fashion Pins from all my pin-boards that have to do with fashion.

It is fun for me to see them all lined up. They are all favorites of mine too! Did you see any favorites in this line-up?

Ideas to Ponder On A Saturday!

 


I don’t know about  you all, but it sure seems as if Saturday rolls around more quickly than it use to.



Are you ready for some Great ideas?

Here we go……….

This idea is so logical, I really can’t believe I did not think of it before…..

This should help out next time you go to hang a picture.


Toothpaste! Mark it with toothpaste! Genius!

Speaking of walls how do your baseboards look?

If you need to beef up your existing baseboards, or if you just need to hide them because they are less than attractive, this product is for YOU!


This base board is made to fit right over you existing baseboard. Genius!! Boy, this will save some of us a lot of work. My hubby also brought up the point this would be great to run your cable or speaker wires, out of sight out of mind!!

I drink a lot of water every day. I like lemon or lime in my water, but when I have a bottle of water I usually skip adding it, but now I don’t have too!

Seriously! Some people just think of everything. This is one of those that I said out loud, “Now, why didn’t I think of this?”

Drinking water is good for our health, and so is eating properly. 

We all want to teach our children how to choose good foods to eat. I thought this next idea was a great way to not only teach your child,but to give them the control of making good choices for themselves.


A Lunchbox center!


Each drawer holds pre-selected (by Parents) food  that they can choose from. 

The only rule is they must take only one from each drawer. 

So however you break up the food groups for their lunches, that is how you would create a drawer and the selections that go in each is totally up to the parent, but the child feels as if he is making the choice.

I think this is a win-win situation, eating properly and teaching how to make choices.

Speaking of the kiddos, if you have a little one that is going into the big-kids bed, and you are just a wee bit timid about the possibility of them rolling out of bed.
Take a look at this!……..




A big noodle that is normally used for the pool is placed under the fitted sheet, and it will prevent a roll out of bed.



I think the concept of this idea is great. The look, not so much. 

You could make it much more attractive,but the concept is to get the shoes off the floor and this works. Just make it prettier, Okay?

Speaking of attractive, I love this next idea for your kitchen……


Emily Clark made these for some inexpensive art for her kitchen. I just thought this was adorable.

Speaking of kitchens and DIY art, this next idea is a great concept.


Isn’t this a cute idea. I am not crazy about the frame but I love the concept.

This next idea is kitchen related also………


I love this piece. Baskets are so useful and attractive and this is a great way to store your potatoes and onions.

So there you have it, some ideas to ponder on Saturday.




 Easter is , only one week away, Yikes!!!

I will leave you with this one last bit of information. If you are having Easter dinner, and you need a reminder on how to properly set the table here is a good diagram for you……


That should keep you all busy for the rest of the weekend.

Have a wonderful weekend with family and friends.

Mother Nature Does Blue and White

   


Is there anything prettier than the natural color of an egg? I love the image above showing the variations in blues and greens. I think Mother Nature is  a wonderful place to gather inspiration.



The soft hues in this glass bowl full of eggs is beyond beautiful to me.


I marvel at the beautiful colors that Mother Nature has to offer.







After taking the cue from Mother Nature I decided to go with a very soft blue and white color scheme for my Easter table. Simple and easy to find! NOT!

The hunt began for the perfect soft shade of blue. None were to be found.

In my last ditch effort I did what anyone in my position would do, I gave it one more try, and Googled, Pale Blue Table Cloth, and this time I was lucky, and just in time, I might add.

I found it! A table cloth, and napkins still in its original condition, never been used…….


blue table cloth 004 (800x600)

This is the 20in. napkin, there are eight of them. You can see it has a tone on tone pattern. I could not be happier, it is perfect for my Easter table.



blue table cloth 002 (800x517)
I am still not quite sure what I will be doing, but now I feel like I can go forward with my plans now that I have a tablecloth to work with.

So this years table will be in the soft blue and whites of eggs.

Here is some more blue and white inspiration……….
