outdoorsy

i'm not really an "outdoorsy" kinda girl. i don't like to hike or camp. just ask the sweet friends who tried to take me camping. i doubt they will ever ask me again :)  thank goodness.

however, there is one way (other than taking me to a beach or pool) where i dream of being outside for a long time. i can't wait to be able to have friends over and host a little dinner party outside. i've noticed that i have pinned a lot of inspiration lately on pinterest.

how can these pictures not make you want to have a dinner party every single night?

do any of you dream of entertaining friends in a fantastic backyard one day?

pinspiration

i'm sure by now you have heard about pinterest. if not, then i suggest you go right over here and get on the bandwagon. it is absolutely amazing and there is inspiration galore.

i have pinned quite a few things that i love. i want to try to take some inspiration from pinterest and bring it into my life. what's the fun if it just lives on a board and you don't ever do anything with it?

so i give you....pinspiration in my life #1.

i loved the look of those nails. having that ring finger different definitely gives my nails some new flair. and although i didn't have that pretty pink sparkly nail polish, i used what i had and made it my own. i really love this look and will have to try it again with a different color combination (doesn't just have to be sparkly!)
