love week: i love pinterest.

my life has changed both for the better and the worse since i discovered Pinterest (just ask M)- but in spite of the worse, i love it.

i love how endless the ideas and inspirations are that come from Pinterest.
i love how i can finally tell what my taste is, and how i want to decorate my home (i know, i've been on my own for almost 10 years and still hadn't been able to identify what i really like for my own house. now i do. and it's expensive.)
i love how it gives me fashion ideas- using items in my closet in a different way than i had ever thought of.
i love how many delicious recipes there are -- i have tried several that are keeeeeeeepers.
i love finding cool photos and snapshots to try to recreate.
i love all the free stuff and printables that i find, that i would have otherwise not have found.
i love how it makes one place for me to find websites, recipes, and wishlists.
i love seeing what my friends and family pin. i specifically love snatching all of my sister's pins- she's always been so fashion-forward, creative, and artsy.
i love all the resources i've found for planning and decorating parties. there's some dang cute stuff out there.
and i love how i can spend a little time on Pinterest and feel like i just went window shopping or even real shopping, all while in my PJ's and without breaking the bank.

a disclaimer about Pinterest: i am not rich, nor do i have 1/10th of the things i pin. i don't even purchase 1/10th of the things i pin. it's more like playing house for me, and getting ideas. sure, it kind of makes me greedy. like i want wayyyy too many clothes that i'll never ever in a million trillion years be able to afford. and my house doesn't come close to measuring up to the rooms on my boards look. and i've only done about 1/5th of the projects i've pinned. but that's 1/5th more than the projects i have done before, i now have a great eye at TJ Maxx and Marshall's for what i really want to add to my wardrobe, and i know which direction to start in my house. and so, i remain pinterestingly loyal.

here are some of my favorite pins lately (and not-so-lately)
