A Few Thoughts On Pinterest

I'm not quite sure why, but when I first started using Pinterest, I felt pretty meh about it. I just didn't quite get it (have you heard of it? If not, get a clue).

Well I was retarded. Like stupid retarded. Cause now I can't stop. In fact, I became so obsessed with Pinterest, I kinda stopped blogging for awhile. I mean, my boards require a lot of upkeep, ppl. I reached a point where I was mostly just reading other blogs, cause I needed new shit to pin (and by "reading" I basically  mean trolling for photos). Like, I'd even find myself getting into "pinning" moods--like not a "I feel like playing around on the internet" mood, I mean, I would get these strong, tactile urges to just PIN THE SHIT OUT OF THE DUB DUB DUB. My husband started calling me at home and saying "what are you doing tonight? Pinning your face off?"

I pin so much, sometimes I forget what I pinned and so I pin things twice. And if I'm being really real, occasionally I'll be looking through my main feed after I've been on a pinning tear and I'll see a few of my pins in a row and go "omg, who is this!? She has such amazing taste!" and then I see that it's me. Oops.

[I'M OBSESSED] Holy Shit, I Love You Linda Rodin

I clicked through this little ole slideshow with my jaw completely on the floor--Linda Rodin is one stylish lady.

If you've never heard of her before, Rodin is a NY stylist who has recently made a big splash with her skin, body, and hair oils: Olio Lusso. I've seen these bad boys written up in just about every chic gift guide on the planet, and I'm dying to give em a whirl. But in the  meantime, I'm glued to this slideshow from Refinery 29 like whoa. 

Click your ass on over if you want a sneak peek of Rodin's NYC apartment, in all of its pink, girly, cluttered, quirk-tastical glory!

The Art of Living in NYC

Ok, so duh: NYC is the best city in the world. We have the best restaurants, the best shopping, the best museums, and the best parks. But also, living here is like living NOWHERE else. And I mean that in a good and a bad way (cue the Frank Sinatra song).

[LINKED] Details' Sports-Inspired Design

This month's Details magazine features a spread on "How to score a sports-inspired design."

This article is great because most "sports-inspired design" involves dart boards, Yankees memorabilia, and everything else that is relegated to man caves because it's hideous and should be hidden from view.

From gymnastic benches that double as clever seating alternatives to cabinets made out of old basketball court floors, this stuff is way better than that New York Knicks light up sign.  

Promise.

[I'M OBSESSED] Filthy Home

There's a new design company in town, and it's a little nasty. 

The dirty mind behind Filthy Home is former Playboy designer Ryan Cox whose career highlights featured in his bio include that he "Tried to make out with girls but always wished they were boys from 1994-1997." 

Based out of Brooklyn, the shop offers hilarious wallpaper that looks chic and beautiful from far away.  When you get close, you see dicks, vaginas, and swear words. 

It's like a Picasso, but not.

Photos after the jump.
