GirlsGuideTo | Daily Distraction: Top 10 Pins of The Week

We love Pinterest around here. It is our go-to spot when we want to find a new recipe, get our butts of the couch and to the gym, find inspiration for our homes, and figure out how to dress to the nines. We love pinning our own content and images, but we love it even more for the seemingly never-ending visual inspiration, striking images, and useful tips that our friends expose us to. Here are our favorite pins of the week and why we love them!

1. Canonball!
I don't know if we just really need a vacation or if the summer heat is making us a little stir crazy, but that looks like so much fun! That pool (and those lounge chairs complete with a stocked bar cart) is calling my name! Pool party anyone?

2. B ow and a Ponytail {Lovely and Chic}
Lovely and Chic is right. This smooth and sleek pony gets an extra touch of class with that gorgeous black bow. I now have my go-to hairstyle for any fancy occasion. Or you know, brunch.

3. Casual Perfection

Speaking of brunch...how cute is this summer outfit? That color blue is heavenly and it looks amazing with all the camel and straw-toned accessories she's sporting. Well played.

4. Artichoke and Tomato Salad
Have I ever mentioned how much I love Caprese salad? Well, I do and I eat it several times a week. It's kind of a problem. My husband and I are kinda getting sick of it, but summer tomatoes are too good to give up! This is a perfect solution! Still a healthy summer salad, just with a different feel! Yum!

5. DIY Paper Craft
I am always on the lookout for easy and inexpensive ways to add a little fun to my home and to our office. This certainly fits the bill! I love the pop of color these fancy paper chans add to a room. And how cute would they be for a party decoration?

6. Coral and Gold Mani

This color combo will never, ever get old to me. And much like our tutorial on "fixing" chipped manicures, this one also would cover up any imperfections and help stretch the original mani another week! So easy and so pretty.

7. Ballet Barre Workout Sans Barre
I don't know about you, but the Olympics are giving me some major fitspiration. Especially our gold-winning gymnasts! This workout is tough. Seriously. And all you need is a chair and yourself. Now I'm not saying it's all you need to become the Fab 5, but it might get you a little more flexible and ready for the balance beam. Maybe. ;)

8. Smart Casual
After you get your ballet booty, slip into this a-ma-zing outfit. It slays me. I have always loved brown and black together and I think this outfit is a great work look (with a blazer or cardi) that easily transitions into happy hour with your girls. Oh and one more thing, I. Need. That. Bag.

9. Heaven on Earth
Sorry, I was just drooling for a minute. No big deal. I can't believe this place exists. It's pretty much the only place I want to travel to. And pretty much the reason why I need to ballet barre workout. Anyone want to go with me?!?
