Crafty Chic: Herringbone Bulletin Board

Let’s face it: cork boards (and bulletin boards) are boring.

Sure, you can dress them up with pictures, notes, and anything and everything else, but why not bring life to the bulletin board itself? Painting your cork/bulletin board is a great (and cheap!) way to give your board some personality and brighten up your room. I chose to upgrade my boring bulletin board with a painted herringbone pattern:

Beauty Review: Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish

Maybelline launched their Color Show Nail Polish line a few months ago and the colors look amazing. With 40 vibrant colors, you’ll easily be able to find one that you love. I recently picked up two great colors for fall: Navy Narcissist and Blue Freeze.

 

I have yet to try the Blue Freeze, but I absolutely love the color of the metallic Navy Narcissist. Because one of the hottest nail trends for fall is metallics and because rich blues were all over the Fall runways, no doubt it’s the perfect color.

Who You Should be Following on Pinterest

After two years of invite-only registration, Pinterest has now opened up, allowing everyone to slowly begin their addiction.  From delicious recipes that look amazing, do-it-yourself crafts that make you want to bring out your inner Martha Stewart, and fashion looks that you just love, this virtual pinboard let’s you create many boards for everything and anything that you want to save for later.

Currently, my boards consist of a wedding planner, fashion looks, nail art ideas, crafts, recipes to try and so many more.

But to pin well, whether you’re new to Pinterest or already obsessed, you need to be following great pinners. So to fuel your great Pinterest boards, here are the top 10 pinners you really should be following:

  1. Jane WangA penguin may be the profile picture of this Pinterest (all the more reason to follow it), but that doesn’t mean you’ll only find animals. In addition to the fuzzy and not-so-fuzzy creatures, you’ll find every kind of board you can think of. I mean it: a DIY wedding board, a board for hats, cupcakes, babies, moms, paper art, easy hacks (for all those things we wish we could’ve thought of), and a happy board. You won’t find more anywhere than you find here. And cool fact – her son is the co-founder of Pinterest.                                                                                                                                                                                                        (more…)

Lady Gaga’s Cover on Vogue’s September Issue

It’s out!

Lady Gaga is Vogue’s cover girl for their record-breaking September issue at 916 pages.

Gaga made all her fans on twitter go “gaga” as she left them waiting for the ball to drop when Gaga leaked this cover of Vogue on her fan site. “SHH DONT TELL TWITTER/SEPT ISSUE OF VOGUE MAGAZINE/Sorry Anna but the underground kids deserve it. bisous!” She spilled next to the photo.

Her second time on the cover of Vogue, Gaga looks amazing in this Marc Jacobs mermaid gown but the platinum afro is questionable. However, it is Lady Gaga and we wouldn’t know her without her one-of-a-kind outfits – hair included.

Want more? Check out Vogue. 

What do you think of Vogue’s choice of a September cover girl and her look?
