Instagram August 2012 update.

So as some of you may already know, I am quite addicted to good old instagram… Back when there was Myspace, then Facebook, half the time I was actually wanting to look at photos of my mates, randoms and whatever- kinda like flicking through a magazine just to look at all the photos, and never really spending much time reading any of the writing. Of course, as you grow older, the articles in magazines become more appealing, but your friends 'status updates' on Facebook often do not.
The great thing about these 'social networks,' is that just like a magazine- finding out about all the goss on the celebs, seeing what they are up to, what they are wearing etc.. we now have the chance to do all the same thing, but look at our 'friends' and 'friends of friends'.
So it is like a digital version of a weekly glossy but filled with info and images of people you know and friends you have grown up with! Of course both Myspace and Facebook are both heavily dedicated to 'writing on friends walls' and with the 'news feed,' reading often (not always) boring and unnecessary information that you really don't care less about (kinda like some of the articles in magazines).
So then along came the genius idea of Instagram. The fact that it was sold for $1 billion to Facebook says enough in itself. Purely based on Photography by friends and for friends. Incase you haven't already got an account, each instagram user can take photos or simply upload photos that they like (taken from another photographer- however be careful as lots of people copyright there images), and over time have a very user friendly page dedicated to a wall of there photos that they either took, or have uploaded onto their account because they love/like/admire them. It's simple- you upload photos then people follow you (if they like your photos and want to see more), and you can follow anyone. Friends, Celebrities, even cats/ dogs have there own pages!

I can see a raINBow!

I have always been a silver girl. Sterling silver rings, bracelets, necklaces and whatever else there may be! But lately, I've been starting to get in to the brighter more colourful statement pieces. The kind of ones you can wear on their own with no other jewellery. I love the first necklace in the photos I've uploaded below, not only for the amazing colours but I'm also digging the gold. I recently was given my grandmas rose gold and gold vintage rings. I wore them with my white gold ring for a while cause I loved the look of the three worn together. I feel like the below necklace is not only a statement, but an everyday sort of necklace. I can imagine it worn with a plain white tee and high waisted black leather shorts. Even a coloured leather!? On the other hand I can also imagine it worn with a cute bright coloured evening dress. It would look amazing on a plain black dress too. Very versatile! I plan on going on a mission to find one and if I can't I'm determined to do my best at making one. Then also maybe adding a couple (or the opposite and adding heaps) of little charms or whatever. I also have a couple of photos of the amazing and beautiful (and pretty easy to make) friendship bracelets. I love these and can't wait to start making some again. Very cute! xx
