A New Love (P)Interest

11 Mar 2011

I am diving into a new website, full of eye candy and inspiration. Its called pinterest.com.
Users create photo bookmarks of things they love, and organize them on inspiration “boards”.
You can post things you have, or find, or you can re-post from others’ boards.

Here are a couple of screen shots of my boards (click to see larger):

The site isn’t without problems. It has lots of functionality bugs – probably due to growing pains. And, it relies on people to credit the right sources (which they don’t – at least not reliably). Actually, it’s bit of an attribution nightmare.

On the plus side, it’s socially networked (which makes it fun), and there isn’t any ugly advertising. It’s a great idea – collections upon collections of beautiful things.

I Heart Mini Boden

I continue to have a love affair that is out of my league –
(well, budget anyways). I first found Boden when Oscar was little, and I was searching for a clothing source that did boys clothing well. And back then they weren’t this pricey. Or maybe I just had good luck on sale days. Anyways now the secret is out.

The spring catalog came yesterday. The boys stuff is good, but now I flip the thing over and read from the other end: GIRLS! Ohhh, its just so fantastic. Here are my picks, in case we win the lottery.
