[ 10 Pinterest Pinners You Should Follow ]
Posted: February 9th, 2012 | Author: Jennifer | Filed under: Day in the Life | Comments OffI know that I talk about Pinterest a lot. I love it okay? Or more accurately I’m addicted to it. Honestly I’m still buying paper magazines but I haven’t leafed through one in a while. There is just too much prettiness to peruse online! (I haven’t cancelled my subscriptions yet though.)
Part of my addiction is that I am always looking for new people to follow. And it’s always surprising to me how many people (bloggers/designers/magazines) aren’t on Pinterest. So I thought I would do a round-up of my favorites – blogger or not – to make it easier for you to find some great people to follow.
1 – Erica Reitman
I thought I was a power pinner until I came across Erica. I really don’t know how she does it and has time for her two snarky blogs Design Blahg and Fucked in Park Slope. Her pinboards are inspiring and seemingly endless.
2 – Lindsey Herod
Lindsey is a designer at Kemble Interiors. And yes, that’s Kemble as in Celerie Kemble. So it’s no surprise at all that Lindsey’s pins are as feminine, glamorous and fresh as the work the firm is best known for.
3 – Jessica @ Black White Yellow
Do you like black, white and yellow? Of course you do. I know I do – which is why I love this pinboard (and blog). It’s a lovely graphic collection with lots of black and white. Love.
4 – I’m Revolting
I love a real commitment to personal style and the lovely spare boards of blogger I’m Revolting really put it on display. These are the kinds of boards that kind of make me wish I had never pinned anything pink or rainbow related. (Naaaah…)
5 – Maia McDonald
I just discovered her (through Refinery 29) but I am already impressed. Maia is a graphic designer for Shopbop by day and runs Conundrum at night. The sheer volume and inspiring topics of her pinboard makes me very happy indeed.
6 – Pennyweight
Another one with great personal style. This time though it’s all types of prettiness filtered through a vintage lens. Just as lovely as the vintage store she runs – Troubadour.
I have linked to the wonderful Wit + Delight blog a few times so it’s not at all surprising that I am totally enamored by her boards. This is a great mix of design and fashion – all of which has that distinctive relaxed vibe. (I always think Kate should be from California but in reality she’s in Minneapolis.)
8 – Eat Sleep Wear
Kimberley‘s boards are also wide-ranging but it’s the fashion boards that pique my interest the most. In particular I love the street style board! I may just start a similar one of my own (hers will undoubtedly be much cooler though).
9 – West Elm
This might seem like an odd choice but I really think West Elm is mastering the art of this still relatively-new form of social media. You might think they would only pin their own products – but you’d be wrong! There’s a ton of inspiration here on boards from Chevron to Chalkboard.
10 – Me!
Okay this is totally self serving. But it is my blog so why the heck not? If I haven’t convinced you to join Pinterest yet, I certainly hope this post helps to push you over the edge.
