Sorority Girl Obsessions: Pinterest

If you have yet to be introduced to Pinterest.com, you are missing out on some SERIOUS good times and procrastination. Pinterest can be explained in various ways, but my explanation is simply: a virtual cork board or mood board. Similar to most of the established social networking sites, you follow and have followers. You can create different boards for different themes, events, seasons, colors, whatever your heart desires. My most used boards? Food and my 'fashionista' board. Different themes include SHOES, beauty, crafting and pictures of celebrity icons. You can "repin" things that interest you to which ever board you have created, kind of like a re-tweet on twitter. You can also "like" and comment on the pins. Certain pins you can click through to different sites, shopping sites, blogs, tumblrs etc. So say you find a skirt you like, repin, click through, voila! You can now purchase that skirt from a website you might have never heard of and otherwise would never stumble across.

OH THE POSSIBILITIES. 

 
You either need to be invited by someone already a part of the site, or sign up for the invitation wait list, so if you're not a part already, JUMP ON IT! Apologies to your bank accounts in advance, the crafting boards are dangerous.

If you don't know, now you know.


Happy Pinning!

xo.
