Pinning Sweetly #1

Today, I had planned to have a write up of my Colorado trip, but things are a bit crazy with the whole trip home and settling back into life here, so I thought I'd start something new. I've been thinking recently about beginning a series called "Pinning Sweetly." I don't plan for this to be weekly, but it will evolve as the weeks and months go on. This series is a number of things I have found on Pinterest that I think is appropriate to add to this blog and would like to share with everyone, even those who choose not to use Pinterest or choose not to follow my pins. I hope you enjoy this series and here we go!

These have certainly been on my mind since the first rain I had last fall while at university. I've been lusting after them ever since, but I can't seem to settle on which pair I want most to begin a small collection of them. I'm really liking this pretty blue, and the idea of solid colours as well.

With Fall Rush coming up on us sorority girls very quickly, I've been looking at different styles of painting both Greek/Sorority letters as well a initials. My little sister will be very, very spoiled.

Here's another item I've been lusting after. I love these little messenger style bags. I'm really really liking the pastel and funky colour trend. I love adding a pop of colour to less than impressive outfits and one of these bags would fit the bill perfectly!

With the fall semester coming up, as well as keeping up with my Etsy shop, this blog, and my YouTube channel, I've been looking heavily into getting a day planner, but it's hard to find ones I really like and that would be functional for me. I ran across this pin and I love the idea of creating my own planner with the things I need, whether I use these print outs or create my own, I'm overjoyed to find this pin!

This pin, and so many others like it, have begun to fascinate me. Living in Louisiana, I've never needed a real winter wardrobe, but I've always loved the idea of it. Now with the potential move to Colorado, I've been pondering the possibilities of cute, but functional, clothes and shoes. I'm excited to start a collection of non-rain boots and long coats! 

Again, with Fall Rush and my soon-to-be little sister in mind, I've fallen in love with this photo pillow idea! My sorority, or at least my chapter, does the Big Sister reveal by giving our Littles photos of the family or of their Big Sister. I think this would be a neat, original idea for how to do the reveal! Goodness I have so much I want to do for my Little!

Lastly, I wanted to leave you guys with this little quote about sorority and Greek Life. There are so many misconceptions about sororities and the Greek system. So many believe Greek life is all parties and alcohol, but it is not. Greek life is about family, friends, connections, and support. It's the most amazing thing and I could not imagine having my university experience without my sisters. 

But enough waxing about sisterhood, I have a whole post in the works about that. That's all the pins I have for you today. Please leave feedback if you liked or disliked this post! I want to post you guys would like to read!
