Instagram and Christmas: More Alike Than You Think
25 Dec
For those of you who celebrate Christmas I hope you are enjoying your holiday! I’m currently in Flagstaff, Arizona enjoying my own white Christmas (yes, it snows in the mountains of Arizona). Which is why I’ve asked Heather of Smart and Savvy Style to fill in for me. Today’s post is about her love for Instagram and how it can bring bloggers and blog readers together. I thought it was an appropriate post for today since so much of the holidays are about spending time and connecting with our friends and family. So, pour yourself another glass of eggnog and enjoy Heather’s take on using Instagram to connect with readers. -Erin
As a blogger, I enjoy engaging my readers. After all, that’s what blogging is all about. One thing that I’ve found is that it is much easier to engage readers on nontraditional blogging media, such as Instagram. I’ve blogged before about how much I love Instagram, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to share my love with Erin’s readers as well.
Why I love Instagram:
Sometimes, I like to take you shopping with me. I share items I am falling in love with and huge bargains that I couldn’t resist!
Seriously? Who could resist these shoes?!
Sometimes, I like to invite you into my dressing room.
I give you 2 or 3 choices and ask you which one YOU would choose! I love to hear about your favorite combinations, accessories, and colors!
Sometimes, I like to give you a front row seat to my fashion show.
I snap a photo of my finished product and share it with you. Your likes help me understand you and your style, which ultimately helps me blog for you!
Do you see why I love Instagram so much?
It’s the perfect way to interact with YOU!

Cat prints can be worn to the office when you keep them simple and sophisticated. Here are six options.
This week is Bike to Work Week in Chicago and since I only live 1.5 miles from my office I do occasionally bike there.
The great thing about a denim or jean jacket is that you can find one at literally every price point.
Sometimes you see an outfit on someone and you think, “That works, but I don’t know why.”
Head over to the other Chicago Erin at Color Me Styled and read my guest post on what I’m planning to pack for vacation next week!




Would you believe that I have only heard of Instagram, but have never used it? Now I am intrigued by the possibilities. =D
You would love it! At least I do!
