5 Instagram Accounts You Gotta Follow

I remember just over a year ago, I was still trying to figure out how to use instagram. And now after few hundreds of days passed by, Instagram has become one of the most important daily sources for me to get inspiration from. To me, it's no longer just a platform to capture my food, friends and life with a simple snap, but a space of creating something magical and unforgettable through a creative process. I believe there are countlessly magnificent instagrammers out there , but today, I'd like to share with you my recent 5 obsessions. If you have discovered a great Instagram or believe you have a beautiful account, please let me know! I'd love to check it out and I think my readers would love to as well. 

我记得仅仅一年前，我还在琢磨怎么使用Instagram呢。谁知道一年过后，这个社交平台就成为了我每天获得灵感和启发的最重要来源之一。但对我而言，Instagram已经不再只是一个让我把生活照随便传上去跟大家分享的一个地方了，而是一个打造并分享创意的空间。我相信世界各地有数不胜数的很棒的Instagram高手，不过今天呢，我就想跟大家分享5个最近令我特别着迷的。如果你发现了任何不错的或者你自己有一个很棒的Instagram，请一定要与我分享。

1. CrazyStyleLove

First of all, I'd LOVE to introduce you to Crazy Style Love by Jenny Jovanovic. Her Instagram is full of beautiful colours and creative photos. I discovered her account during last brutally-long winter in Toronto. Imagine that: whenever you look outside, everything is covered by white snow. Not a day, not a week, but months after months. It could get kinda depressing, right? Jenny's photos really cheered me up and helped me to combat the winter blue. Her Instagram followers have been growing with a full speed and there is no need to question why.

第一个我非常想向大家介绍的就是Crazy Style Love。这个帐号可谓是载满了鲜艳的颜色和独特的照片。我是在去年这个严酷漫长的冬天里发现她的Instagram的。想象一下往窗外一看，地面上覆盖着厚厚的白雪，而且这样的景象不仅仅是几天而已，而是好几个月。的确会让人感觉郁闷的。Jenny的照片真的可以让我的心情变好。她的关注者人数直线上涨，这也不难明白为什么了。

2.  Nois7

If you love to expand your imagination to nearly a maximum level; if you love to witness something impossible become possible; if you always love to see things in a different perceptive, then trust me, Robert Jahns' instagram account Nois7 will completely satisfy you.

如果你喜欢把你的想象空间增加到最大限度；如果你乐于看到把不可能变成可能；如果你乐忠于从不同角度来看世界的话，那么相信我，这个instagram绝对适合你。

3. ParkNCube

London based photographer and web designer Shini Park is the creative mind behind the beautiful Parkncube. This would be an "one-stop-window-shopping" to satisfy your appetite for food, architecture, fashion, interior design, and much more. The minimalism and a "less is more" kinda vibe throughout the whole account doesn't let it shy away from creating magics. 

伦敦的摄影师加网络设计师Shini是这个充满了创意的instagram空间的幕后创造者。这将会是一个"一站式购物"点来满足你对食物，建筑，时尚，室内设计等的胃口。她以这种“少就是多”的色调为中心来打造的这个具有简约风的instagram让人看了之后充满了回味。

4. Rokuthecat

Many animals have become superstars on instagram thanks to their behind-the-scene parents. Maybe it's because I have a similar-looking cat, Roku's cute face often lightens up my day. If you are always looking for that "awww" moment, this account is certainly for you. 

感谢许多幕后的动物爸妈们的辛勤劳作，许多可爱的动物们都成为了instagram上的当红明星。也许是因为我有一只和Roku长得很像的猫咪吧，我对他特别地喜欢。如果你想看一些可爱的照片的话，那么这个帐号绝对适合你。

5. Stephsterjovski 

Stephanie Sterjovski is such a creative and talented girl. From her own SS Print Shop to her blog and from her fashion style to her Instagram, everything is so preciously beautiful and charming.  Her Instagram is packed with lots of home decor ideas, outfit inspirations and of course, sparkles. 

这个非常具有才华和创意的女孩总是能给人带来惊喜。从她的网店到博客，再从她的时尚感到她的instagram，一切都是那么的完美。从她的帐号可以看到很多居家装饰，时尚搭配，当然还有，跳动的色彩。

Lastly, Sashas_Satisfashion

Although my Instagram isn't one of the 5 Instagram accounts you gotta follow, it will be greatly appreciated if you can take a moment to check it out. 

尽管我的instagram并不是在今天介绍的5个帐号里，但是我还是希望你能抽个时间去看看。

Day By The Lake

Hi all, how's your week going?

Growing up by the ocean, I always have a very special bond with water. So re-visiting the lake of Ontario yesterday after a long winter and chilly spring was truly an amazing feeling. 

嗨亲们，这周过得怎么样啊？

对于在海边长大的我来说，我对水总是带有一种特别的情素。所以在经历了非常漫长的冬天和冷飕飕的春天之后，重新到安达略湖去感觉非常不错。

I picked up this stripe summer dress with a backless cut for sale at M for Mendocino for only $15. I know! Such a “steal deal”! :) When talking about maxi/midi summer dresses/skirts though, we generally like to pair them with a big floppy hat to create that boho chic vibe. However, this time I decided to go for a baseball cap to give it a slight edgy twist.

我在M for Mendocino店里买了这条露背的条纹裙子，才15加元。超级便宜吧？不过每当说到夏天的长裙，我们一般会搭配一顶大檐帽来打造一个波西米亚风。而我这次就决定来换个穿法，加一顶棒球帽来增添一点帅气的感觉。

Thank you so much for reading! Talk soon!

感谢阅读！再聊！

Target Fall Preview

With the weather gradually getting warmer, it actually comes to the time to preview all the fall collections. It surely is a tease, but it's always good to look ahead and plan in advance, both emotionally and financially. Do you agree?

尽管天气越来越暖，预览秋冬季系列的时候却到了。的确让人心痒痒的，不过我觉得吧，提前做好精神上和经济上的准备和计划，不是件坏事吧。你觉得呢？

Target's Fall preview last week was set up perfectly as a cozy showroom. From unique and furry pillows to sexy and classic jeans, from statement accessories to colourful bedroom sets, from luxurious but affordable make-ups to timeless and beautiful flats, Target has everything fabulous to offer.

I bet Target this fall will be the second most addicting one-shop-for-all spot for me- follow after Winners. I will have to be very cautious though, otherwise I might end up spending double triple amount of the money when walking out of the store. LOL

塔吉特商场上个星期把他们的秋季预览会布置得非常别致和温馨。从设计新颖的毛茸茸枕头到性感又经典的牛仔裤，从好看的饰品到颜色鲜艳的房间布置品，从高档且价格合适的化妆品到经典且可爱的鞋子，可以说塔吉特家应有尽有。我可以担保塔吉特将会是我这个秋季一站式逛街的第二个最常去的地方，紧随赢家。但是我一定会购物小心的，不然在付账时可能会发现花了比预期超过两倍甚至三倍的钱。哈哈

Thank you so much for reading! Did you spot anything you like? Well, I have my eyes on the White & Delight Home Decor Collection and Sonia Kashuk's make-ups. Notes taken.

感谢阅读。你有没有看到什么你喜欢的东西吗？我已经看上了White和Delight这个系列的市内装饰品，还有Sonia Kashuk家的化妆品。

Easy Cozy

Hi everyone, this week has passed by fair quickly to me. There are lots of things worth looking forward to for the weekend- hanging out with some new friends, catching up with my besties, and celebrating a good friend's birthday...How about you? Any plans? 

嗨亲们，这一周感觉过得特别快。这个周末有许多值得我期待的事情哦，跟新朋友们出去玩，跟老朋友叙叙旧，还有一个好朋友过生日。。你们呢？有什么计划吗？

Pulling this casual chic look together definitely takes some courage and determination. Over-sized trouser has always been one of the man-repelling pieces that Mr. S would never be able to willing to understand. He would make jokes like: "They look like a grandma's pants!" Well, well, well, being stylish sometimes means going in a totally different direction from pleasing the gentlemen . At least to me, they are extremely light-weighted and effortlessly chic, which is all that matters. 

打造这一身简单舒适的着装绝对是需要一些勇气的。像这种比较宽松的裤子从来都是男生们不能理解的单品。S先生还会开玩笑说：“这看起来像我外婆的裤子。” 有时候吧，时尚意味着不能取悦男生们，甚至有可能朝相反的方向走。不过吧，我觉得它简易舒服，又时尚大方，这才是最重要的。

Thanks for stoping by my blog.  谢谢抽空来浏览的我的博客！

Jewellery Heaven- Artemis Pop-Up Store Launch

Hi everyone,

Honestly, although I'm neither a jewellery expert nor a girl who is obsessed with pearls or diamonds, I do often appreciate the design and hand-crafting uniqueness some statement accessories have to offer. 

Last week I was invited to Artemis Fashion Jewelery's pop-up store to personally taste some carefully selected jewellery that are made by designers around the world.  Artemis carries a magnificently-diverse collection. Whether you are looking for that "wow-aloud" piece to go with your prom dress; that classic yet unique bridal hair band to add more glamour to your wedding dress; that every-day necklace you can put on with a simple T-shirt and jeans to shine your personality, or just a cute little key chain, I believe you can definitely find something you love.

嗨亲们，

老实说我既不是一个首饰专家，也对什么珍珠砖石没有太大的兴趣，但是我还是喜欢品味一些饰品特别的设计和独特的手工技术。上个星期呢，我就被Artemis时尚珠宝店邀请到他们的临时铺头去参观。可以说，他们家卖的饰品真的蛮特别的，而且种类也很繁多。无论你是想要买一条让别人惊为一叹的晚装项链，还是一个首饰来为你牛仔裤加体恤的简单搭配增加一抹亮色，还是想买一个具有特色又有经典元素在的婚纱发葜，我相信你都一定能找到你喜爱的那么一个特别的饰品。

Although this pop-up store only opens till the end of June, Artemis says they are currently looking for a permanent location in downtown Toronto (Yeah!). 

Did you spot any pieces you like in this post? If noting caught your eye yet, I highly recommend you head to their pop-up store at 84 Scolland ST. to check out a wide variety of collections.

他们家的这个在84 Scolland 街临时商铺将会开到六月底，不过据老板说他们目前正在寻觅一个位于多伦多市中心的好位置来开长期的门面哦。尽情期待吧！
