We all know those people. Instead, let's be great together. Happy Monday!

On the subject of Pinterest...
I'm not entirely sure why I've devoted my day to convincing you to join Pinterest (oh wait, because I'm addicted) but nonetheless I'll give you another reason...
Pinning an image onto one of your boards automatically saves the link where you found the image. For anyone who knows how to cook (please note all my saved foods are salad) reads lots of foodie blogs, it would be a great way to save recipes you're dying to try! See? Brilliant, I tell you.

Pink Packs A Punch.
One of the many reasons I love Pinterest is that it functions as a virtual inspiration board for all the looks I'm loving of late. Today my fashion board made it clear I'm craving a pop of pink in clothing, makeup, and accessories. I highly recommend the site, which comes with a "Pin It" bookmarklet so you can instantly save any image from any site onto any one of your inspiration boards. And did you hear that a Pinterest iPhone app is on its way? Brilliant. Here are a few things on my mind:

P.S. I'm sharing my [totally cheesy] musical stylings on Kalyn Johnson's blog Possess Your Style today. Please stop by if you have the chance!
No. 23
It's been a little while since I shared an item on my 101 in 1001 list so I thought I'd return with a simple and sweet resolution today. In my remaining 878 days, I intend to write at least fifty thank you notes. I've already written eight so I'd like to think I'm on my way! Time to invest in some pretty new stationery like these from Mr. Boddington's Studio ;)
A Little Leopard
These two spaces featured in Elle Decor have me jonesing to reupholster a little occasional chair with a splash of leopard print. Place it on a neutral rug, add a big abstract painting, and you're good to go!
P.S. Happy birthday, Dad! I love you so much.
Pour L'Artiste
The Glamourai described these inspiration photos for her apartment redo as "one part inspirational office space and several parts exotic opium den." While that's never how I would describe my own style, there is something delightfully off-kilter about this interior. A tribal rug, vintage leather chair, brassy lamp with a red shade, aqua bolster, and unhung art never looked so harmonious together, don't you agree?
Crunch Time!
A little glimpse at my weekly to do list...
1. A ten-page paper about the theme of betrayal in 17th century French theater. Yikes.
2. A quick presentation about the failure of FEMA to respond to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
3. An eight-page paper about non-traditional family structures and sex trafficking around the world.
4. A "Meet The Designer" piece for Rue.
5. A "Rue Shops [insert surprise city here]" piece.
6. A home tour piece for Rue.
7. Another home tour piece for Rue.
8. Book my flight to San Francisco.
9. Send out emails for a super fun, top secret project for Roxy's forthcoming Society Social furniture line.
10. Throw something together for Dad's birthday (tomorrow), my brother's birthday (Friday), and Mother's Day (Sunday).

What's keeping you busy this week? Deep breaths.
New arrivals at Loren Hope!!!
My favorite jewelry designer just released her summer collection and, let me just tell you, I. Am. Obsessed. You know when you see something you must have and get all giddy inside? That just happened... about ten times.
{Well somebody just skyrocketed to the top of my wishlist. How pretty is she?! Dabney bib necklace, $175.}
{I mean, hello. Gold + bling + pink jade = perfection. Layer it with other gold pieces or let it shine on its own. Chloe necklace, $115.}
{Just look at all that tassle-y goodness! Your plain white t-shirt will never look the same. Need. Farrah necklace, $185.}
{You'll never need to buy another necklace again. Statement-making, totally unique, and just a little bit edgy... What more could you ask for? Cleopatra necklace, $90.}
Okay, now this is brilliant. You can buy a plain clasp necklace for $45 and then attach and switch out pendants separately! Lately I've been rocking this one:
{I also own this pretty sparkler (can you tell I'm a little obsessed?) and throw it on whenever I feel like my outfit is missing that special something. It hasn't failed me yet! Sophie bib necklace, $75.}

I could rave about Loren Hope all day, every day. It's fantastic to have sponsors whose work I truly love and covet for myself. I hope you'll enjoy her baubles as much as I do!
Sabrina Linn
I had blogged about the second row right image before and was delighted to stumbled upon more of this Sabrina Linn-designed penthouse. Isn't it stunning?
{I love the neutral scheme of this living area. The combination of orange velvet and white upholstery is unexpectedly chic, but it's the large abstract art that steals the show.}
{How opulent is this workspace? I can only imagine looking out onto that kind of view in between blog posts!}
{A round mirror is an unexpected alternative over the bathroom sink. I adore the oversized idea board in what looks to be the foyer, proving that inspiration is indeed everywhere!}
P.S. Luxury Monograms giveaway happening here!
