PINTEREST CURATOR SARAH TOLZMANN

SARAH TOLZMANN CURATOR BESOTTEDDo you know Sarah Tolzmann?  If not you must start following her stat. Sarah is the author behind Note to Self, one of the most beautifully designed blogs/sites, so simple but always so chic. She utilizes a lot of black and white and sometimes this beautiful peachy pink color as her accent color, I too love it. Her Pinterest boards are as carefully curated as her blog, there are no mis-steps and you will feel like you are elevating your own eye by participating in the visual goodness.  Sarah is one of those people that I would love to know and pick their brain, tell me how to be more chic Miss Sarah, I think being around her you couldn’t help but want to be more refined. If I ever get around to teaching a class on branding (something on my ever growing wish list) I would most definitely have Sarah as an example, she fully fits my belief that less is more. She also is able incorporate color in a beautiful subtle way that won’t feel dated in the near future. I am telling you that you will be happy to spend time in Sarah’s world, because I know spending time there to put this post together put me in more calm, inspired and cheerful state of mind. Cheers to you Miss Tolzmann!

P.S. Sarah has a wonderful print shop here.

P.P.S. If you know of someone that should be featured yourself included, send me an email with a link or leave the links in the comments so others can find you!

PINTEREST CURATOR JENNIE PRINCE

Curator Jennie Price Besotted

I think today’s curator Jennie Prince has an incredible eye for subtle beauty. Jennie has an equally beautiful blog Odessa May Society and her boards are a seamless extension of it. I have kept my eye on her for some time now (sounds creepier than it is), and I have watched her become an accomplished photographer (garlic never looked so good, check out the lower right photo) and has completely blossomed as a new mother. Some of her boards that I have found very inspiring are her Just Lovely (and it is), Photo Love, and Delicious (I am obsessed with beautiful food pins).

I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy visiting Jennie’s boards and blog (if you aren’t already a fan). I have another kit for you tomorrow that I think you will love!

PINTERST | CAMP CURATED

Curated Camp Besotted Blog

 top row:  1/ canoe  2/ cabin fever  3/ wellies  bottom row: 4 /bonfire log  5/ tee pee 6/ s’mores

I thought I would try my hand at a different type of Pinterest curation today, you can find the links above to the pinners that pinned these camp-centric lovelies.  I must say I doubt I will be doing another one of these types again, it took me an obnoxiously long time to find pins + pinners that linked to actual sources, grrr.

Do any of you have plans to go camping this summer?  I had big plans for a canoe ride last June when we lived off of the lake but I overturned the canoe upon take-off and then I got cold feet and refused to get back in. I just kept thinking about what would happen if we overturned the canoe in the middle of the lake (it was a very large lake). I don’t have a problem with the ocean, maybe because I grew up with it, but lakes are new to me and seem a lot more menacing, maybe too many scary movies as a kid? I do love going through photos of canoe’s, lakes and general camp goodness.  On another summery note, I heard that you can build bonfires on the beach here which is completely foreign to me since in Southern California it is illegal to do so. It sounds so romantic and if I ate marshmallows I surely would want to try my hand at some of the 8 million s’mores recipes I found on Pinterest. I hope you are enjoying this day, for those in the states you are probably counting down the days to the long holiday weekend, am I right?

PINTREST CURATOR MAIA MCDONALD

CURATOR MAIA MCDONALD

I honestly thought I had already featured Miss Maia McDonald prior as she is one of my favorite pinners and the fave pinner of about 1.8 million more. I went through my archives and unless I am totally losing my marbles (possibility) I have not had her as a curator before, for shame.  Maia even with all her Pinterest popularity still feels like a ‘find’.  She has over 20,000 pins to choose from, so if you decide to visit make sure you give yourself lot’s of time to spend at her boards as you will want to re-pin the majority of them, truly. Maia is also the art director at Rue taking the reins over for Bree of Design Love Fest, which make her interior boards a thrill to peruse through. Maia’s Bedroom Dreams with their beautiful white beds and creamy light just make me want to re-arrange my entire bedroom (again). Another board that has me inspired is her Office Spaces, just simple style that can be easily achieved.  A known foodie her food boards will have your mouth watering. Visit Maia, but I am warning you now that you will may be there a while…

And on another note, I wanted to thank you all for the kind thoughtful comments you left yesterday, it was not easy for me to admit a bit of defeat, but I am very happy to have a wonderfully supportive community that would be willing to take the time to write me such heart warming sentiments, it means a lot to me and is greatly appreciated.

PINTEREST CURATOR ALICE GAO

Alice Gao Curator Besotted

I am fanatical when it comes to photographer Alice Gao.  She is such an outrageously talented individual that it seems unfair for one person to be in possession of such skill.  Aren’t convinced?  Check out her rockstar Instagram feed, it will blow.your.mind. Alice’s pinterest boards don’t disappoint either, she has a love for blooms and you will find them throughout all her boards in beautiful unexpected ways like that gorgeous wallpaper on the bottom right, I don’t even like wallpaper and this just sends me. Her love for food is obvious and I could be wrong but it looks like she may be working on opening a culinary inspired shop with her Provisions board. I hope you visit her boards and fall in love with her as much as I have.

P.S. Alice also has a great blog that is a visual pleasure and you can live vicariously through all her stunning images.
