We’d love if you could share a few secrets to your pinning
success — any rules, dos, or don’ts to follow?
"I love finding new, beautiful, and interesting things — almost as much as I love
digging up the stuff I’ve always admired. I do it to please myself, yes. But, I also
do it because I truly enjoy sharing it with people who might also be charmed,
interested, or provoked by whatever that object, thought, or person might be. I find
the whole business incredibly fun and oddly relaxing."
Who are some other Pinterest power players to watch out for?
"There are so many interesting people on Pinterest — how to choose just a few? I always
look at I'm Revolting for her smart finds. She’s a pinner’s
pinner. Myan Duong is playful and prolific, and 5.oo h has an extremely precise aesthetic I admire. Finally,
I couldn’t finish this list without mentioning Lauren Santo Domingo. Her image archive is a lesson in the history of fashion,
and her taste is, let’s face it, exquisite."
When you aren’t pinning, where can we find you?
"In the fall, I’m launching Coléoptère, a line of fine jewelry.
I’m currently designing the initial capsule collection, which I’m pretty sure will
be the bee's knees. But when not working on Coléoptère, I’m most frequently
spending time with my family, hanging out in the hammock, and drinking something nice."
