1,000 and Counting - The Pinterest Edition

When Keri introcduced me to Pinterest, I didn't know what to think.  Is this another social network?  Seems like a massive distraction?  I was right about one of those.  Its become a bit of a guilty pleasure.  I'm increasingly finding myself neglecting which ever project I should be working on, and scanning Pinterest for the latest fashion find or DIY project.

I even have a favourite Pinner I follow.

Over the weekend I passed the 1,000 follower mark, so I thought I would share some of my favourites with you, and post a couple new picks before I pin them to one of my boards.  

Men's Fashion - What Men Wear: A Men's Style Board 

My Men's fashion board was a huge surprise for me. I didn't expect to enjoy pinning to this board nearly as much as I do, and it's become the one that is followed most.  These are my favs and most pinned.

What am I pinning right now? These two, right from  Cup of Couple & Style of A Guy  

Interiors & Exteriors - In, On, or Around the Home

My biggest passion for sure. Residential design is where I spend my time.  I find Pinterest especially  inspiring for interior spaces.  Such a massive variety, all in one place, all for me to devour!

Classic (New) Style Icon - Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Time for a new fashion post, and with Keri posting one yesterday, we'll have men and women covered this week!

I've posted on a couple of Classic Icons, Paul Newman and Michael Caine.  And while there is more to come in that department, lets call todays post, a new classic.  Mr. Joseph Gordon Levitt.

What a couple of years this guy has had, big movies, big press and coming out to fashion followers everywhere in a big way.  Just ask my Men's Style Pinterest board.

Lets take a look at these skinny tie rocking, fit suit strutting, classic cool images already.

These are in a rough chronology, and I think you see that in changes throughout.  Suits fit a little better and stye gets a little extra detail.  If they're out of order, well, my bad.

Skinny suit and I love the lapel pin.  Speaking of.....

Again, skinny suit, skinny tie.  Cool and young.   And there is that lapel pin I love.

This is from the first of a couple/few photo shoots for GQ.  Along with the lovely Claudia.  Kind of a vintage vibe.  James Dean-ish.  

This is the GQ spread that really put Joe out there as someone to watch in the Men's Fashion world.  Its been pinned, re-pinned, blogged and reblogged everywhere.  And with good reason.  3 Piece suit, well done, proper fit, proper style, and attitude.  Who knew that the kid from 3rd Rock could rock this? 

Esquire gave him the treatmentg as well.  Suits and afterwork wear, all shot at the beach.  Check it out here, really fun photo-shoot.  

Lastly, from Glamour, my favourite pic.  It takes a fair bit of confidence to wear a coloured suit this well, let alone a burgundy suit.  Its what he wears well.  If there is one thing to take away from this, its the fit of your suit.  Getting a proper fit, a tailored look, is worth every penny.
