Pretty, Pretty Pinterest

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at DePaul chapter.

It’s still fairly cold outside but we know spring is just around the corner. What’s better to do at this time than to get inspired to craft, spice up our living space, or pick out our new favorite pair of spring shoes on Pinterest?

Here’s a few of our favorite pins to help us inspired to welcome the impending warm weather!

 

Fashion

– Mint is one of spring’s “it” colors this year, and we are absolutely in love with this satchel from Rebecca Minkoff. Sure, it’s a little bit out of budget for the average college girl, but it’s fun to dream, right? 

– Keeping with the mint trend, this dress is perfect for the warmer weather and these flip-flops have us craving spring break right now instead of sitting in ethics class on a dreary winter day.

– Patterns are huge for spring and we adore these gorgeous patterned shorts, or if you’re really feeling trendy, try out this fun fringe bikini!

Beauty

– Make your eyes look bigger and more awake with this simple tutorial, which is sure to come in handy for anyone who plans on spending finals week practically living in the library.  

Style your hair in about 30 seconds, or trying these waves out to make it look like you just spent the morning at Oak Street Beach when you’ve really been chugging coffee in Calc. 

– Got a haircut that you regret? Use these tips and tricks to grow your hair back out into long, beautiful locks, and then treat yourself to a DIY spa day to get yourself prepped and relaxed for finals!

Crafts

– Take a little study break by making some pretty hair accessories like these girly bobby pins or this trendy headband.

– Keep yourself organized and never miss an important to-do again with this clever memo board.

– Make that research paper a little more bearable to type by dressing up your keyboard.

Food/Baking

Try a new snack by making this tasty treat with bananas or test out these delicious yogurt strawberries. Looking for something a little more substansial, but still healthy? These meals are all under 400 calories! 

If you feel like splurging a little bit, bake up a batch of these melt-away cookies. Everyone deserves a little treat once in a while, and your friends will be obesessed with these!

Another cute and yummy idea is to add fun decorations to store bought ice cream sandwiches. These are perfect for a party or just a little get together with your girlfriends.
