Our Love for Pinterest...

We have mentioned before that we love Pinterest. It is a great, easy way to catalog things you love, online. It's environmentally friendly, because instead of printing out pictures, ideas and future projects, you can just pin them to an online board and come back to them whenever you would like. But the biggest plus for me, (Jill) is that I don't have piles of inspiration pictures, recipes, and future projects lying around the house. But maybe I am the only one with that problem. :) Here are some Pinterest images we are loving today.

Let it Rain, Let it Pour...

Yesterday, we boasted about the sunshine and today we have rain! No matter, though...rain is just really an excuse to break out a chic umbrella! These beauties below will make you wish for raindrops! :)

Hey, Party People!

Okay...so New Year's is approaching. It comes so fast after Christmas, but whether you are attending a party or throwing it, New Year's is an evening for a daring accessory, isn't it? If you can't pull it off on New Year's, when can you?
These most fabulous hair accessories are from ban.do, a fun site we discovered and are absolutely drooling over. Yes, some of them are a splurge...but so pretty, so fun, so perfect for an upcoming New Year's party. Just something fun for you to think about...what will you be wearing for New Year's?
(Sorry...we know this is a bit of a diversion from our regular "hostessing" topics, but every hostess should look snazzy for the holidays, right? :)
