You might not think it, but a lot of thought goes behind every fashion forward Instagram account.

With clever tricks and smart methods, style icons and fashionistas have the inside knowledge on how to make their Instas look super fab all day long.

So, if you want to have an account that resembles the Kendalls and Chiaras of the world, then here are a few tips to help you out:

1. Brief captions and snappy hashtags

No one wants to see long, drawn-out captions under images, because let's be honest, we all scroll past them.

Keep your followers intrigued with simple intros and one or two hashtags is the perfect amount.

2. Be different

Post various types of images and videos, such a scenery, animals, accessories, food and so on.

Posting the same things day in and day out will grow a little stale and your followers might get a bit bored.

3. Brand it

If you're wearing a new River Island top or Nine Crows shirt, make sure to tag them in your image.

Most brands will actually regram the best pictures, which could gain you a whole new following. And check out if the brand has a hashtag, too.

4. Selfie-less

While posting a selfie from time to time is grand, you don't want your entire feed to be filled with photos of your face (sorry).

And if you do post a selfie, include some fab accessories or a gorgeous background.

 

5. Filters

Use the same or similar filters throughout your whole feed. Whether you want colourful and bright or grey and muted, choose a theme and stick to it.

A lot of bloggers also use VSCO to enhance their snaps.

Twitter is currently in meltdown as the public debate the merits of this year's Electric Picnic line-up – word of which only landed this morning.

The XX fans will be pretty pumped to hear that the London band will be headlining alongside A Tribe Called Quest and Duran Duran, but not everyone is feeling it.

In addition to these acts, Chaka Khan, Run The Jewels, Interpol, Father John Misty, and London Grammar will perform to thousands of music fans at Stradbally this September.

And people just aren't that pleased by the sounds of things.

Twitter, we'll let you take it from here…
 

 

 

 

 

However, some people were more than happy with this year's headliners, and were only dying to tell the haters all about it.

According to emerging reports, British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has confirmed that an Irish person was among those injured during yesterday's terrorist attack in London.

Speaking in Parliament this morning, Ms. May provided those present with a list of the members of public who had been admitted to hospital after the incident in Westminister.

It has been established that the list included 12 Britons, three French children, two Romanians, four South Koreans, one German, one Pole, one Irish, one Chinese, one Italian, one American and two Greeks.

Ms May delivered a statement with details of the attack an hour after MPs had stood for a minute's silence in honour of the people killed yesterday.

While earlier reports stated that five people had lost their lives during the attack, recent reports have confirmed that the figure currently stands at four.

Seven of the 29 people admitted to hospital are in a critical condition.

Eight people have been arrested in raids in London, Birmingham and elsewhere in connection with yesterday's attack in the British capital.

When best friends Georgia Gibbs and Katie Wasley posted a photo of themselves sharing a laugh at Sydney Harbour in recent months, they were absolutely flabbergasted by the backlash they received from fellow Instagram users.

Honing in on the difference between the women's body types, social media users branded Georgia a 'bad friend' for allowing her smaller frame to highlight Katie's curvier figure. (Yeah, we know, what?)

 

Love you unconditionally @katewas_#SunburnIsReal

Recalling some of the remarks made at their expense, Georgia remembered: "You have photoshopped yourself thinner or your friend bigger, what kind of friend are you?' was one of the comments. It broke my heart because Kate and I are best friends why would I do that?'

Despite deleting the negative comments, the women felt they hadn't done enough to combat the bodyshaming, and decided to establish an Instagram account which celebrates all shapes and sizes.

"The fact that a simple picture of two people together went so viral purely because of their body types shocked me," Georgia admitted.

With that in mind, the two women created Any Body which encourages women to celebrate body diversity and pay tribute to each other's differences.

"Any Body was created because no one should have to deal with that and it shouldn't even be acknowledged."

"All I see here is two women, not one "skinny" woman and one "curvy" woman. Stop comparing everyone to each other and accept every person as beautiful in their own right."

"You have so much more to offer than just what's skin deep," they write alongside their posts.

 Responding to the support they have received from women worldwide, they wrote: "We are so incredibly humbled by the response we have had from you beautiful women."

"We never expected so much love and we are so proud to see so many of you empowered and proud of your individual and beautiful bodies."

"We're best friends we walk next to each other every day and love each other for who we are and for so much more than our appearances, size 6 or 16 WHO CARES, health & happiness over size!" they tell followers.

That's a message we can get on board with.

Aside from a scattering of high-profile women who deign to admit the reality of the post-pregnancy life, Hollywood would have you believe that A-list stars sail through pregnancy, labour and the months which follow experiencing little more than a subtle stretchmark and a mild case of indigestion.

With that in mind, it's refreshing to hear that one of the entertainment industry's biggest stars is keen to shed light on the various side effects experienced by women after becoming mothers.

Speaking candidly to Elle magazine, Glee star, Naya Rivera, admits that following the birth of her son, Josey, in 2015, she began losing her hair.

 

Love love loving this updo for @therealdaytime today! Here we go!!!

A post shared by Naya Rivera (@nayarivera) on

"There's a real post-partum hair-thinning issue, and nobody talks about it because women are so embarrassed to admit they're losing their hair. But it's a real problem," the actress told the publication.

In an industry which prioritises appearance over much else, Naya was initially disappointed she didn't experience hair thickening during her pregnancy and then panicked by the sudden hair loss following her son's birth.

"I didn't get crazy thick amazing hair at any point during my pregnancy. I was expecting it, and waiting for it, and it never happened. I was like, "Where is my awesome part of the pregnancy bargain?" I didn't grow some amazing mane," she said.

"On top of that, with the dramatic drop in hormones that comes with breastfeeding, and then not breastfeeding, and the whole birth process, the parts around my scalp were thinning and breaking, and nothing seemed to repair them."

The star, who filed for divorce from Ryan Dorsey in November of last year, sought the help of the Glee crew, but admits there was little they could do for her.

"I would be working 16 hour days, which is normal for TV, and my hair would be in a tight ponytail that whole time. They kept spraying it with hairspray, and when I got home, it looked and felt like dried lasagna."

"Above my ears, it looked like it had been burned off with a hair iron or something. And my scalp was so dry from heat styling," she added.

Nowadays, Naya preempts any damage with a strict routine, saying: "I got to the point where, if I knew I was doing a ponytail day, I would basically coat my hair in coconut oil the night before. And to this day, I'll do that before a ponytail day. Seriously. It requires a lot of prep."

It's pretty refreshing to hear a celeb get real about these issues.

The La La Land / Moonlight mix-up during the 89th Academy Awards will go down in Oscar history, not least because of Ryan Gosling's somewhat surprising reaction to learning he had not, in fact, bagged himself a little gold statue as audience members and viewers understood.

While many would have understood a disappointed or even frustrated response from La La Land's leading man, Ryan surprised fans by giggling into his sleeve after word landed that the musical had been awarded Best Picture in error.

Standing among stunned cast and crew on stage, Ryan attempted to hide a smirk behind his hand, but now, one month on, is at pains to explain his odd reaction.

"What really was happening as I was watching, it was surreal anyway, I was watching people start to have this panicked reaction in the crowd and guys were coming on with headsets and I felt like someone had been hurt," he said.

Speaking to People magazine, the 36-year-old insisted that his reaction was one of relief because the initial chaos led him to believe that someone had been taken ill.

"I thought there was some kind of medical situation, and I had this worst-case scenario playing out in my head," he said when reflecting on the confusion which played out in front of millions of viewers worldwide.

Recalling the moment it all became clear, he said: "And then I just heard Moonlight won and I was so relieved that I started laughing.”

And lest there be any confusion over his response to the loss, he added: "Truthfully, I was also so thrilled that Moonlight won. I know the director. I’ve worked with them before. I’m so happy for them that they were being recognised."

So, now we know.

Today, Demi Lovato became the latest celeb to suffer from a security breach.

The singer was targeted by hackers who stole a risqué photo of her and shared it on various porn sites around the web.

However, the 24-year-old has spoken out on Twitter, and she seems to be laughing off the whole scandal.

Taking to Twitter, Demi said: "I love how everyone's freaking out about one picture. It's not nude and it's just cleavage."

She followed that with another tweet: "Besides the world has seen me nude BY CHOICE before… #vanityfair #cleavagegameonpoint #myboobsarenteventhatbig #angles."

This isn't the first time the former Disney star has been targeted by hackers. In 2014, naked pictures of her were shared online, as well as ones with her former boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama.
