TGIF Pins

IT'S BACK! How long has it been really since I've done one of these posts?? Well TGIF Pins is back with just small modifications. Rather than two pins per category, I am only going to be posting one each. No big deal really. I have been experiencing quite the Pinterest overdose so there is plenty of material for me to be choosing from. Enough with the words though! For your viewing pleasure...my pins of the week!

Valentine's Day Gift Guide: Scarves

Image: here

I don't know if you know this about me but I love scarves. They are ranked just behind shoes for my accessory obsessions. I think that from here on out if someone asks me what I want for whatever gift giving occasion, I'm just going to answer with "a scarf!" Scarves don't have to be expensive and honestly...the more the merrier! A new scarf opens up so many different outfit options. Even for a holiday like Valentine's Day I think a scare would be perfectly acceptable--in pink or red just to stay with the V-day theme!

Do you like scarves as much as I do? What do you think of them as a Valentine's Day gift?

Love Is In The Details

I have decided to give myself a little bit of a challenge this month--this is also an attempt to shake things up to make getting dressed to go out into the cold a little more exciting. Everyday during the month of February I am going to try to incorporate some kind of pink or red into the day's outfit. I am just that cute. Kicking off this challenge during this month of love is my favorite scarf; I picked this up a few years ago in Little Italy during my first trip to NYC. I did notice that I don't have many pink or red pieces so this may be a little difficult for me, but it will also force me to be a little more creative. In other words...challenge accepted!

TGIF Pins

Long time, no pin! How many times since September have I let my once weekly blog post fall off? I guess I figured that since it was a simple post just about what I had been pinning that week I didn't find it too important. But that's silly! Going back to older TGIF posts I have seen that this is the post that I get the most interaction from my readers on; and of course it gives me the excuse throughout the week to take a break from my work and studies to spend and hour on Pinterest. I do miss doing TGIF posts more frequently and as part of my blogging resolution--more on that next week!--I am promising myself to work harder on trying to make them more frequent...starting this week. :) Here you go!

Hey all! Can I just go on record for a minute and say that I have already lost my mind due to finals. Seriously...I'm going a little crazy. As of last night I cannot even focus--the Disney sing-a-long that occurred in our room last night was proof of that. It was a nice little stress reliever though (if you ever find yourself crazy stressed, belting "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas helps!) Today's a new day and I have exactly one week until my first finals. I just need to organize my mind and develop some solid study habits. Time to prioritize!

Anyway, with Christmas coming up I'm sure I'm not the only one searching high and low for the perfect gifts. Above are just a few ideas for the lovely ladies in your life. I for one am a huge fan of the jewelry! You may recognize #2 from Vienna Victoria from this post here. That's still on my own wishlist!

"It's Like...Shoe Art!"

 Quick, everyone! What movie is title quote from?! ...P.S. I Love You! If you got it correct, I'm sorry but I have nothing to offer you except a virtual pat on the back and my approval. If there's one thing I love in this world (beside that movie, of course!) it's shoes. If you were to ask anyone who has seen the inside of my closet they would probably tell you that I have way too many; I, however, would say that I can always use more shoes! But that's just me...

ShoeDIVA Boutique recently launched here in Pittsburgh and I already have the website in my bookmarks. From what I have seen, one thing you can expect from this brand is one-of-a-kind designs. If I plan to make a statement, I typically do so with accessories and these shoes will definitely help to make a statement. ShoeDIVA was founded by Janelle Cutler who has stated that her own shoe fetish and sense of style makes her qualified to offer quality and one-of-a-kind shoes to the divas in this world; who can argue with that logic?! In the future, she hopes to take ShoeDIVA from an online shopping experience to storefront.

For those of you in the Pittsburgh area, on Sunday November 24 there will be a launch party hosted at Windy's Boutique in the SouthSide area (one of my favorites in Pittsburgh!) from 2-6pm. You can go ahead and browse the website for shoes and other small accessories here.

Four Favorites: Black Out

Bag || Vest || Sweater || Flats

Ooh is it the weekend yet? I am ready for at least one relaxing day! However, Halloween is tomorrow so there is some excitement during the week. Seriously...this is like an early Christmas for me; I love Halloween! With this spooky day coming up, this week's Four Favorites link-up seems fairly appropriate: favorite black items. I really don't think there are any cuter items out there than the ones I have selected above. Like that bag? The bow is adorable, right?! And the ghost sweater--who doesn't love ghost sweaters?! Anyway, I am going to keep this one short today due to my continued excess of class readings. Enjoy your night and I hope you have a spooktacular Halloween!

Well we all know how hectic this week has been; TGIF has never been more appropriate. This weekend though is going to be a good one! Tonight we are a taking a friend out for her birthday dinner at a restaurant called Burgatory--any Pittsburgh readers that can give me the scoop on this place? Then hopefully we will be back in time for the homecoming laser and lights show and the rest of the night will be spent hanging out with the birthday girl! Tomorrow is the homecoming game against UVa at 12:30 which, hopefully, we will dominate! The rest of the weekend will be relaxation and a bit of a lull in the school work which I will not complain about. In spirit of Friday, here are my favorite pins from this week!

TGIF Pins

Happy Friday everyone! Did the week blaze by for anyone else? Just me? Okay. I really don't know what I am going to do with myself this weekend. There's no football game here so I will probably just do A LOT of reading for classes. Maybe Sunday I will take a break; I've taken to watching football with the guys on Sunday. It's kind of funny to watch them watch it, plus I need a few things explained to me. Haha! Anyway I did manage to squeeze out a little bit of pinning this week so that I could bring you my TGIF Pins!!
