Hi my loves! I apologize for the lack of post yesterday, I had some technical difficulties but things are back on track at the moment. So for most of us, Instagram is a great tool to take pictures of food porn, cute puppies, and to document our drunken evenings for all the world to see. However, there are other uses for this rapidly growing app, one of them being fashion. TONS of people are using Instagram to show off their oh-so-fab outfits of the day (#ootd) their newest finds (#whateverbrandyou'repimpingouttoday) and even to sell their merchandise (#nameofyourcompany). Bloggers (including me) are using it to promote themselves and their brand. Anyway, the point is Instagram is awesome for fashion inspiration. Here are my favorites from those that I'm currently following.

Friday Photos

I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday...it's gonna be a long day. Anyway, I thought I'd do a little bit of photo diary action for today's post. I've had a pretty random but fun past week or so, hope you enjoy the results. 

Got this hand of all pairs playing cards with my family.

Dodger had his serious face on. Too cute to resist.

Everclear playing at the Summerland concert!

Lit was my favorite band of the night.

A little post concert snack...

Decided to try a glitter mani idea that I got from pinterest.

Rainy day on the bay...

...my sister and our pup spent the day napping.

Metallic mani for the weekend.

Starbs pick-me-up before the sugarlips shoot last week.

A little pre-shoot prep

The sun FINALLY made an appearance.

My Week on Instagram

 

 Happy Friday the 13th! I'm not really one for superstitions but it makes for a good night of watching scary movies or telling scary stories around the bonfire with your friends. This past week was a lot of fun and my instagram has lots of pictures to prove it, so I thought I'd share them with you. From new jewelery to cute new animal friends here's my inst-week!

 

This is actually a long necklace that I wrapped around

my wrist to make a bracelet.

 Here's a close up shot of my denim collection that

I took while reorganizing.

Love this gold Michael Kors necklace

I thought I'd make use out of a random string

of rhinestones I had, so I braided a new bracelet.

 Another close-up cleaning shot. Some of the

pretty summer dresses hanging in my closet

 I got so many compliments on this turquoise shell necklace

 Saw this little guy while I was on a boat

in Central Park

 Here's a shot of the sunset at the waterfront 

by my house - so pretty!

I could not get enough of this view

My Insta-pendence Day

Snap Shots

Hi pretty people! I've been really busy since I started my new job but I got to spend the weekend celebrating with some of my friends. Here are some pictures from my instagram to give you all an idea of what I've been up to!

Love these sparkly bangles we sell at the store.

Friday night drinks!

The largest beer I've ever seen!

I love New York.

On the train home. I love train stations at night

What have you all been up to?

Insta-weekend

Happy Memorial Day Monday! Well, after a glorious weekend filled with family, friends, food and (lots of) drinks, I'm back to work here at color the coast. Unfortunately, due to some technical difficulties I don't have an outfit post for you guys. Instead I decided to give you a little recap of my weekend through instagram. So here we go...

 coconut mocha deliciousness from the starbs

favorite book of all time, and my current beach read

my best friend and I got these matching cups

for our margaritas!

Insta-Friday

I can't believe it's Friday already. I hope you all have fun Mother's Day plans for the next couple days. My sister and I are taking my mom for a day at the salon tomorrow morning, which is always a good time. For today I've decided to give you all a peek into my life through some of my instagram feed for this week.

I took these off Saturday night and thought they looked cool laying on my bed

I love perfume bottles, I think they make for pretty decoration

I'm not usually a fan of faux flowers but I found this one and kind of liked it

My editorial notebook for the blog (color coded)

My everyday necklace right now. I made it with two anchor charms I found (I told you I was obsessed)

My scarf collection

It always takes my forever to pick out a new Essie color

My mom gave me this cool lamp for my bedside table

 Enjoy your weekend!
