Snap Snap | Insta-Tips



Hellooo weekend. My apologies for the lack of posting this week- one word: finals. Instead of discussing my studies, let's talk about the biggest procrastinator machine of all- Instagram. You've heard of it, right? Good. 

I am guilty of aimlessly scrolling through my feed and stalking some of my favorite accounts (head to the bottom of the page to check those out). Never the less, I've spent my fair share of time playing around (ehem... wasting time) with all things Insta related, so here are my favorite pictures and some of my tips and tricks for each. 'Gram yourself out.

Sea | Sky | Land

If you can tell from my instagram bio, I am quite the sunset lover. I think the only reason is because I never see the sunrise... gotta get those zzzz. My biggest tip for sunsets is to aim up for less land in the picture. But, for landscapes (beach, water, etc.) try to have equal balance.


Styled Photos

Aha, the most famous picture that you'll find on any fashion-related account. You got me, guilty as charge. Throw a few stylish things together and snap away. Because anyone has a desk "cluttered" with makeup and magazines.... 


#fromwhereistand

My personal favorite outfit related pic is hashtag-fromwhereistand. The easiest way to show off your outfit without any help from another person. I love these because it gives a peek into outfits that never make the blog. Classic behind the scenes shot, if you ask me. 

Details

Along with a #fromwhereistand picture, detail shots are great for showing of any accessories or specific parts of your look. And the infamous back shot is a favorite of mine, especially since the majority of the tops I wear have unique backs. 


Favorites

@travelandleisure: travel the world from your phone and I always find amazing hotels from here.
@natgeo: wanderlust to the extreme.
@stripesandpeonies: Gracey's account is full of flowers and simple images.
@tuulavintage: Jessica's instagram was one of the first I followed and is still a favorite of mine.
@worldofwanderlust- more travel- hey, I like to go around the world on study breaks. 
@popcosmo- Two words: funny puns.


Hope you enjoyed this post- decided to mix it up. Leave your thoughts below and be sure to follow along my snaps at @sailingseastyle.

St.Barths Photo Diary

1. St. Jean beach 2. Flying towards St.Barths 3.Sunset on the 1st evening 4. Rainbow over the Grand Cul de Sac 5. Eden Rock 6. Plane arriving at the airport 7. Gouverneurs beach 8. View after a rain shower 9. St.Jean beach 10. Sunset waves 11. The last sunset of 2013 12. Gouverneurs beach

It's very hard to capture the beauty of St.Barths through a camera lens instead of one's own eyes. Sadly, I am returning home to cold bitter weather today but I am full of sunshine from my favorite island. During my stay I tried my best to capture the essence of the island from the beautiful sunsets to clear waters. One of my favorite things about St.Barths is all its hidden treasures. After visiting many times, I always seem to find a new place to eat or a new beach or something as little as a point overlooking the ocean. Being away from your home puts everything in perspective on how special every nook & cranny on this planet is. It also has taught me to step back and appreciate each moment I have. Hope you enjoy the photos. x
