{a selection of my 'Pins'!}
Do you surf the internet for hours on end, right clicking and "Save As'-ing photo upon photo of striking images for inspiration? I don't know about you, but if you're anything like me then your computer hard drive is filling up quickly with said images (and if you're also anything like me then you also find it a pain in the butt to organize everything found!).
I recently discovered Pinterest, a great online community in which members are able to curate images of their choosing into organized "inspiration boards" for all to see. Not just for fashion, I have seen everything from interior design to food to cute baby photos on the site!
You can follow your favourite "Pinners" for a one-stop 'shop' of beautiful things so that you can soak in all the good stuff with just the click of a button!
Once I signed up, I was able to drag a "Pin It" button onto the taskbar of my internet browser. Now, every time I see an image I like, all I have to do is click the button and decide which of my boards I want to add it to. Easy!
I've found so many more worthwhile images in just a few minutes of browsing the site than I would have in a much longer time of browsing the internet. It's always hard for me to really get into a new online network or website, but this is truly a breeze and completely fun. I totally recommend getting involved!

Sounds amazing! I'd love to do this for decor inspiration photos. I'm on the "list" for an invite, how long did that take for you?

I thought I was the only one doing that! I started to copy a picture (like a Zac Posen gown) and paste it onto a Word file. LOL it is currently 74KB. My computer and Word Documents Processor thanks you!

i totally do this. every image from fashion to design that inspires me i save on my hard drive. i think the idea of the site is good, however i find it is too much of a hassle to log on each time to look at the collection of images. i think i'd be great to see what other's interesting images are though.
