If you do not know what Pinterest is, you are missing out on one of the best social networking sites ever created.

It is not like Facebook in any way, shape or form—it is better. Pinterest is a way to share ideas and interests in the shape of pictures and videos. You can “pin” pictures onto online photo boards and people can follow them. Then, you can follow other people and their boards. The idea of Pinterest is so creative and allows people to share their passions through pictures.

I personally love fashion and I follow almost all fashion pinboards on Pinterest. Everyone’s style is so unique and following other people’s pins can give you inspiration to add to your own style. Taking pieces from other people’s fashion boards on Pinterest and incorporating them in your own style can freshen up your outfits.

I have seen that lacey skirts are a major trend on Pinterest. The skirts have differed in color from hot pink and red, to sparkley and gold. You can pair the skirts with a light sweater or tank and gladiators for the summer or wear them with a sweatshirt or oversized sweater and Sperrys for the winter. The skirts can be versatile for any season.

Another trend I see is boyfriend-cut capris with a tight tank top and a sweater. You can either pair that with TOMS, gladiators or moccasins. To dress that look up, you can wear it with a chunky necklace or a summery scarf. You can add pops of color in the jewelry or scarf you wear if you choose to wear grey, brown or black. To make this look work for summer, you can switch out the capris for white ripped jeans.

Pinterest is also another way to share hair and makeup ideas. Not only can you post pictures and videos of a hairstyle, but Pinterest links the site where you got the picture to the picture when you post it. That can be helpful so you know the steps on how to execute the hair and makeup styles. Bright colored lips seem to be a favorite for the upcoming season.

Natural eye shadow with a little shimmer is popular for the summer months according to Pinterest. There are many pins and boards including this look. Matte browns and neutrals matched with shimmery gold can be blended to create a subtle look.

Pinterest can be used in many other ways than just for makeup, hairstyles and clothes. Be sure to check it out and have a friend invite you to join it.
