Pinterest, More than Pictures
/Hi Readers,
I've fallen in love with
. I know I work in social media, but
is absolutely great. It's great for visual addicts and ADD pinners, but it's an amazing source of inspiration and project support as well.
Hopefully this will whet your pinning appetite.

Wardrobe Updates
I'm unusual in that I don't enjoy shopping - for anything. If you rarely see anything you like, Pinterest can restore your faith in fashion. Pins (images) are often from other websites. Tracking pin websites can mean new places to shop. Pins also help if you want to redefine your wardrobe - new stage of life, passion for a new range of colors, change in taste. Pins I like:
Wedding Items: http://pinterest.com/cmaries08/weddings/
Clothes: http://pinterest.com/kendadouglas/i-would-wear-this/
Jewelry, Designs by Tams: http://pinterest.com/tammyezer/designs-by-tams/
Whether your challenge is that (a) you don't like/absolutely love color, (b) you have "wine taste on beer budget" or (c) cuts, styles or sizes just never fit quite right, Pinterest will surprise you.
Getting Organized
As a perfectionist who's learnt to let go, this aspect of Pinterest literally leaves me drooling. Dominique Nancy inspired the list below, the last of which was pinned from
. Living in a big city means even neat freaks and minimalists have a hard time!

Pins give tips on organizing small spaces.
Pinterest for Men
I keep hearing that men aren't on Pinterest - but that's not been my experience. Unless these are conspiratorial women, here are some men - and men's pins - on Pinterest.

Maybe it's not the majority, but it still seems like there are many
pins for men by men
, to me.
These are just three areas - I haven't even begun to explore
,
themes,
and home projects -
and
from around the world - not to mention quotes.
Perhaps I'll do one on
, soon - another picture-focused social site. Happy pinning!
