Hello!

Welcome to my website! I'm Kathryn and I blog about  fusing Vintage and modern Fashion together to create a unique style. I am also passionate about slowing down the fast fashion industry  and hope to encourage others to do likewise through my posts showcasing  my personal style through the vintage and upcycled items that I have sourced.  I have now added a SHOP section to my website where you can purchase lots of sustainable goodies from clothing to china and everything in between! Through my upcycling  posts and crafted items I hope to encourage all of you to be mindful about what you throw away and to see that almost everything can be reused and made fresh and unique again through a little imagination.   I also blog about maintaining a healthy mental attitude through positivity and being mindful of how unique we are as individuals.

Recap 2015 Day 3!

This photo taken in Augest 2015, proved popular because of the contrast between the rugged rock formations and the frivolous frothiness of the pink 60s catsuit.

Good Day Folks! This the third day on my 30 day post challenge and we're still talking Instagram. Picking up from where I left off yesterday  I want to continue discussing the trials and errors of Instagram. This will be of enormous benefit to me (as I write my thoughts here I realise that there is room for vast improvement on my Instagram game) and hopefully for you too, my reader, especially if you're a newbie or thinking of starting an account.

Today I want to talk PHOTOS!

Yes, they're not the easiest to magic up. My own photos are taken by the ever lovely and ever so patient Lily-Kate, my 14 year old daughter. The patience part may have been ever so slightly tinged with the remotest bit of sarcasm!!!! Sorry LILY-KATE!

In fairness to her she has been dragged out in all sorts of weather. Then she and I argue a bit as to the right poses and angles that work best. However , its true to say , the more often you do it the easier it gets and you become familiar with a few different "Looks" or "Stands" that work well for you. In this regard everyone will be different, that is, it will be a different pose or facial expression for each individual and its only through practise that you will find out which ones work best for you.

When you find them however I'd recommend you make note of them. For example, if you find you prefer a "head down" shot ,therefore giving your outfit more focus then use this several times throughout your page. Space it out though with other "Stands" that also work for you.

Of course above advice will also work for different genres, be it a foodie page or beauty etc. There will always be a particular shot and "setup" that will be your preferred one so make a note when you find it.

Continue tomorrow folks on my Instagram notes.

As usual here is another popular pic from my account.  Talk tomorrow XXXXXXXX Violinkit

Ok this photo got a lot of likes because i think it was simply a "Feel Good" photo. Lily-kate and I had a lot of fun and laughter while shooting it. Ha ha!
