All about Pinterest

When I first came across <a href="http://pinterest.com/driftwoodi/">Pinterest</a>, to say I was underwhelmed was a bit of an understatement. It seemed like yet another thing to add to the must-have-if-you're-serious-about-your-online-presence....and all too much like hard work. But then, I spent a bit of time navigating through and found that, regardless of what it was originally designed for, it's an absolutely brilliant way of collating and storing all of those inspiration pics - and even better, it links to where they were found. In other words, it's amazing. So now I'm hooked, and there's so much fabulousness on there, I can't begin to tell you. So I'll just show you. Much better that way.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmXN5yD0VlQpd8e_I5hpP0LX7c8C8nb5tOjYTbe6erclt1vHJVzGA6CCZXz8R1XwwhlpTVZYNIahJkJpNPpwJ-4QnmSLeoTLrz8gn242V8jmY7tFJtVQqpUfEdTsB22CcEbTdt7pbkoksY/s1600/Round+Hill-08-Oceanfront+room+downstairs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmXN5yD0VlQpd8e_I5hpP0LX7c8C8nb5tOjYTbe6erclt1vHJVzGA6CCZXz8R1XwwhlpTVZYNIahJkJpNPpwJ-4QnmSLeoTLrz8gn242V8jmY7tFJtVQqpUfEdTsB22CcEbTdt7pbkoksY/s640/Round+Hill-08-Oceanfront+room+downstairs.jpg" width="626" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZV86SXWdDQgflDxtKTw3R0U80n1MFu7qwbf-BwuG1rgiYykHVSujpJshoaUsiPaMaJO5ADNK-YLd3jxMsSBKUAABmGn_hXTy9hQqsya1JbrBABPwBV6nnTrrdl0XJsVyGf8Sv-E9g78qD/s1600/Image11stuartmembery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZV86SXWdDQgflDxtKTw3R0U80n1MFu7qwbf-BwuG1rgiYykHVSujpJshoaUsiPaMaJO5ADNK-YLd3jxMsSBKUAABmGn_hXTy9hQqsya1JbrBABPwBV6nnTrrdl0XJsVyGf8Sv-E9g78qD/s640/Image11stuartmembery.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinNfK21zWuyEH_iSgc2mZ4OVCPdHVcjUHRpUBWuvOilhbJ9u2tNdw5O9hY8NguIvMLvBScrsOHoKsoSg81dEUpC6OPmBd8DpNMEHjV8WE2n63UaCvylgfHkIRG1vpYjbEhslP4i7pe-qno/s1600/carolyne+roehm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinNfK21zWuyEH_iSgc2mZ4OVCPdHVcjUHRpUBWuvOilhbJ9u2tNdw5O9hY8NguIvMLvBScrsOHoKsoSg81dEUpC6OPmBd8DpNMEHjV8WE2n63UaCvylgfHkIRG1vpYjbEhslP4i7pe-qno/s1600/carolyne+roehm.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/213569207298819101_lmWAdvBb_c.jpg">via</a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/147352219027640007_9wJ8yOGd_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/147352219027640007_9wJ8yOGd_c.jpg" width="470" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/237424211574950232_8ccVy5L7_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/237424211574950232_8ccVy5L7_c.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/86764730290624209_185ydYKu_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/86764730290624209_185ydYKu_c.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Just a few from my boards</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But don't take my word for it.

Road trip

I'm planning a little trip away, to one of my favourite parts of the world - Byron Bay and the hinterland town of Bangalow.

Is this not the most beautiful resort ever? The views, the decor, absolutely everything about Round Hill is pure perfection. Many of the rooms were decorated by Ralph Lauren (which explains their fabulousness) and I could easily spend my days sipping cocktails and basking in the sun. Although, I suspect I'd spend most of my time sitting in my drop-dead gorgeous room, commiting every last detail to memory so I could try to recreate it at home!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
