I am a total Pinterest addict, so when they got in touch to see if I’d like to be involved in their Pin it Forward UK campaign to celebrate their official launch in the UK, I was more than happy to spread the love!

If you are not familiar with Pinterest yet then it’s about time you jumped on board! Pinterest is an online tool for collecting and organizing things that you love. It’s a bit like a virtual set of moodboards that you can continually add to without running out of space. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favourite recipes. You can ‘pin’ from other websites and clip images into Pinterest, or you can repin images that appear on your timeline from other pinners that you follow. Browsing other peoples pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share the same interests. These are some of my boards!

Recent updates to Pinterest now allow you to keep both public and private boards. Public boards can be seen by all Pinterest users, giving users the choice of searching for ideas within Pinterest itself, while private board can only be seen by people who are allowed to pin on that board. For example I may or may not have a secret wedding pinboard…ssshhhhh! Is that really bad seeing I am single? Haha!

Before the days of Pinterest, I used to collect pictures and clips from magazines and pile them into a notebook or pin them onto a cork board, or I’d bookmark many different websites to remember links to articles and images. Pinterest has made all this so much easier for me and what’s the best about Pinterest is that each image links back to its source, so with one click on the visual image it will take you back to details/link of the image as well! Amazing right?

The #pinitforward campaign means that over 30 days, 300 bloggers from the UK will be featuring their favourite Pinterest boards to give you some ideas of what fun and beautiful boards you can create yourself! One of my favourite boards has to be my Fashion Inspirations board where I pin images of street style fashionistas, bloggers and celebs outfits that that I love. The images always give me inspiration to create looks with items from my own wardrobe or to keep up to date with the fashion trends. Click on the link below to have a look at some of my favourite pinned fashion looks.

If you would like to sign up to Pinterest, it’s really easy and quick . All you need to do is click this link for a simple registration. Oh and once you’re there maybe you can Follow Me too ;)

So, what do you think? Is Pinterest something you use already?
If not, do you feel inspired to give it a go?

Now I’d like to Pin It Forward to the beautiful Simone who blogs over at  The Bottom of the Ironing Basket. I am so glad I’ve found her blog and Pinterest boards through this campaign. I especially love her Wise Words and Chocolate boards, plus how can you not like her Hello Handsome board. Definitely following that! ;) Make sure you check it out.

If you are already a Pinterest fan I would love to see your favourite boards. Link them up in the comments below and that way we can all take a look and follow each other. It’s a great way to find new and inspiring boards and pinners to follow. Happy pinning everyone!
