Kate Moss, style icon and supermodel, has been going against the grain since the beginning of her career. So no one questioned that she would forgo the digital addiction of social media that captures so many of us. 

But in fact, Ms Moss has an Instagram account that she's kept hidden for years.

Kate revealed in a recent interview with HELLO! Fashion Monthly that she keeps an IG account for "spying" purposes.

"I don't care about people who post what they're eating or the weather," she said. Instead, the model focuses on what's trending around the world.

"I have to," she admitted, "otherwise I wouldn't know what anyone was talking about."

However, don't expect to see her profile becoming public anytime soon, as she told the magazine that she's not the biggest fan of social media.

"I don't have a relationship with [social media] at all. I don't know how to take a good selfie. I'm not good at them." Say what, Kate Moss can't take a selfie?!

Even though Kate keeps her IG private, she's no stranger to the social app. The style star makes regular appearances in the feeds of many models, photographers and designers alike (see snaps above), giving us serious #squadgoal envy.

One major US fashion retailer was busy taking a trip around the Kingdom recently and now we are feeling a serious case of wanderlust overcome us.

A team from J. Crew were recently in Kerry for a fashion shoot for the brand’s latest collection and the images to come from the big day are beautiful. 

Seriously, we’re packing our bags for a road trip right now.

Someone hand us our Aran jumpers and beanie hats because we feel the need for a fashionable camping adventure somewhere outside Dingle. The photos were actually taken three months ago, which explains why Storm Abigail didn’t wash away any of the attractive models. 

"The weather was wild, it was like 10 seasons in a day," said production director, Tara. "It would be sprinkling rain, then suddenly cold and sunny."

Apparently the team even recruited a few of the local GAA players to appear in a few select shots. Fair play lads, any sample chunky knits to share with us? 

As well as showing off the amazing scenery in Kerry, the J. Crew Instagram page also highlights places in the county to visit, and shares a guide to hotels and airports nearby. 

"The landscape was so many shades of green. It was like a movie set," said art director Mark.

In a very unsurprising turn of events the production team also appear to have fallen in love with the locals. 

"Everyone we met was so laid-back. And the view was just so lush, mossy, ferny, sheep dotted … very dramatic," she said. They were really feeling the love for the furry Kerry crew too it would seem: "Sheep were literally just walking down the middle of the road," Tara said of the experience. 

We imagine both the sheep and any Kerry natives are feeling pretty cuffed at the moment.

Winter is the best time of the year to invest in some great footwear so we were delighted to hear our fave Irish comic queen has returned with another shoe collection for us to drool over.

The ever stylish Hubes posted a pic to her instagram yesterday from her latest campaign with Bourbon footwear. Her fifth collection with the footwear retailer features a wide range of styles and colours from metallic pointed heels to suede charcoal grey boots. 

Speaking to Xpose, Amy picks the delectable ‘Forever Young’ grey suede high heeled boot as her favourite from the collection, calling it her ultimate “dressy shoe boot.” Available from just €119.99, these boots are perfect to get you through the party season.

Amy has revealed that her different shoe types are named after some of her favourite films. For example, the Bullitt is named after a 1968 film by Steve McQueen. Cute! There is also the ‘Atonement’ (a peep-toe heel), the ‘Fame’ (a sparkly ankle boot) and the ‘Grease’ (a biker boot of course!).

The 'Sixteen Candles' in Blush €99.99
The 'Grease' Biker Boot in Noir €129.99,
The 'Singing in the Rain' boot in Couch €129.99
The 'Working Girl' Flat in Pewter €99.99

Lucky for us all the collection is already available to peruse online, but make sure you are quick because certain styles are already selling out. 

We are counting down the days to payday!

Kelly Brook has been branded as “pathetic” as a result of sharing a snap from a recent night out in London on social media.

The actress and model was enjoying a festive-themed night at Ping Pong restaurant and shared a photo in which she displays a very slim waistline. The brunette is known for her fabulous hourglass figure, but social media users were quick to point out some interesting features. 

After more images surfaced online in which Kelly’s waist is not so tiny, people were quickly accusing the star of editing her Instagram pictures. 

Fellow Instagram users slammed Kelly for apparently using photo editing apps to shave inches off of her waistline. 

“Why have you edited your waist in this picture?! No need when everyone knows you're curvy,” one user wrote. Others appeared to be less than impressed: 

“It's fake airbrushed to death, this is why girls make themselves sick through people like this, I honestly thought someone with natural curves wouldn't want to be thin but nothing surprises me about vein celebs these days.”

Another added: “Talk about editing!! Such a fake pathetic thing to do!”

The social media criticism comes not long after Kelly herself spoke out on how she thinks that any airbrushing in magazine should be labelled and slammed publications who previously over-Photoshopped her pictures.

Since the Instagram drama took over her social media accounts, Kelly has argued that there is nothing wrong with editing selfies:

“The pictures I post are not unrealistic to who I am. I embrace my Curves and love my body."  

"Slightly photoshopping pics is no different to women wearing fake hair, putting chicken Fillets in their bras, squeezing into Spanx or having filler and Botox in their face. None of which I do.”

The actress added the hashtag #CurveGate to her post after social media users were intent on pointing out how Kelly's pictures appeared to be edited. She added that “we all want to look our best in pics. So let’s all focus on the positive and be nice to each other.”

Cheryl and her French businessman husband Jean-Bernard have been married for less than two years, but their relationship has been under intense scrutiny from the beginning.

The pair have battled their fair share of separation rumours in the 16 months since they wed. Now, it looks like Jean-Bernard has had enough. 

He addressed speculation that the two are headed for a split because of the huge amounts of time they spend apart.

The 32-year old X Factor judge has been open about her hectic schedule they is keeping her on the road and apart from her husband.

Yesterday he took to social media and blasted those who make claims that they are heading for a separation. According to The Mirror, he has been away on business in France and Dubai and explained his absence on Instagram. 

“Yes I am working like everybody else to put food on the table but my priority is my wife as this is the last person that is family.”

He also wrote that he was “always going to be there” for is wife and that “even when my dad died I put my life on the line for my wife.”

“This is just nonsense. What matters is family and my wife is my only one left so if she need me I am always going to be there. My wife Cheryl is my priority nothing else.” 

Speculation about their duo’s marriage was sent into overdrive when it was noted that Cheryl had skipped her husband’s birthday celebrations in August.

He instead opted to spend his night partying until the wee hours with his friends.

This is not the first time that Cheryl's hubby has felt the need to defend their marriage. While he says he doesn't often comment on stories about them in the media, he did leave an interesting comment on a video posted by Nick Grimshaw. 

While it was quickly deleted, that didn't stop social media users from branding him posessive and rude. "Your comments on here earlier were pathetic. Did you delete them because you realised how stupid and unwanted they were too," commented one user.

In the age of the modern woman, sometimes it can be really REALLY hard to find people who truly understand our daily first world problems.

Anyone who says brunch is a 'want' and not a 'need' needs to seriously re-examine their life choices, tbh.

Luckily for us, Honest NYC Barbie has our back and here’s why…

We've all been there.

You post a selfie in which you look pretty damn good, if you do say so yourself. But one hour and zero likes later, you're thinking your next selfie should be taken from an airplane as you swiftly exit the country forever.

One thing we would NOT recommend doing, however, is taking to Instagram again to blast everyone who didn't click that little loveheart… as one woman learnt to her detriment this week.

Australian model Cassi Van Den Dungen's pre-holiday inspirational quote scored her "only 14 likes," something which she was none too happy about.

"After going away on an amazing holiday/road trip I come home to see my post on new adventures had only 14 likes," she wrote, posting a close up shot of the figure, circled in red.

"The lowest amount I've ever had on Instagram… I have to say I'm pretty shocked because this, to me, either means that people A) don't like me having new adventures, as if I'm not allowed fun, or B) it means people don't like new adventures.

"Either way, all I have to say to those people who didn't like my post and don't like having fun is ……YOU ALL SUCK!!!!!"

Awks. Needless to say, the backlash has been pretty intense:

Cassi, who recently starred in Australia's Next Top Model and has almost 10,000 Instagram followers, did make an effort to defend herself today.

"The people who know me or at least understand my type of humour are understanding what I said," she wrote on Facebook.

"It was a light hearted bit of fun. TOO many people are so serious these days."

If that was a joke, she had us all fooled.

With her wholly grown-up appearance and her older boyfriend (not to mention that she moved into her own €2.5m property aged 17) it's long been claimed that Kylie Jenner has had too much too soon .

Indeed, in a recent online post, the now 18-year-old star admits that it's "crazy"  that she's "grown up in front of the cameras".

Promoting the latest series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians which began filming back in 2007 when Kylie was just nine (incredibly the reality TV show is now about to embark on its 11th airing), she explained that she's "been filming for nearly half of my life".

However, rather than dwell on the potential negative impact of spending her teenager years in the spotlight, Ms Jenner said her extraordinary experiences to-date have helped her "learn fast about the lessons in life". 

Last month in an emotional post, Kylie revealed that she's struggled at times with frame from such a young age.

"People are so quick to say horrible things about me everyday over and over and sometimes I can't take it," she wrote.

"Even I at times get affected by it, I breakdown, I hide, I cry. It's resulted in a lot of anxiety for me that I've never had to deal with before ever.

"My every move has been documented for the whole world and its been a nightmare trying to find myself through all of this.

"And I've absolutely lost apart of myself."

She's never really been too shy about flaunting her gorgeous figure. Yup, 18-year-old superstar Kylie Jenner is loud and proud on her various social media platforms – and today has certainly been no different.

Donning a teeny, tiny, low-cut white vest teamed with black Moschino knickers, the reality TV star posted a snap to her Instagram page that showed off PLENTY of cleavage. 

Although, Ms Jenner herself was more concerned with the broken talon on her middle finger (no one's looking at your fingers, Kylie!): following a strawberry emojii, she used the caption "broken nail" along with a sad face. 

Understandably, the image has now notched up more than a million likes from her fans. 

In September, Kylie addressed the ongoing speculation that she had gone under the knife in order to achieve a fuller figure. 

Under a website post entitled Kylie Comes Clean: They're Real, she shared a video which showed her demonstrating the before and after effects of good underwear.

"I don’t share this with a lot of people, but everyone thinks I’ve gotten breast augmentation recently, but I haven’t," she explained to the camera.

"I just use the Bombshell by Victoria’s Secret. It’s life-changing. I’ve gotten all my sisters on it and all my friends."

She added: "This is all padding. I think it makes your breasts look great and girlie. This is it. No breast implants. No surgery. Nothing. It’s amazing."

He was the cutie from Derry – who went on to reach the finals of 2008's X Factor. Indeed, he finished third behind only Alexandra Burke and runners-up JLS.

And while Eoghan Quigg made an unsuccessful bid to represent Ireland at last year's Eurovision (not to mention a disastrous solo album offering early 2009) he's otherwise been absent from the music scene.

Still, here at SHEmazing! we were delighted to stumble upon his Instagram account – a platform on which he boasts some 6,000 followers.

There, the now 23-year-old shares snap-shots from his life – and it seems that he's a lover of football, working out, and tattoos.

And while back in the day he courted PLENTY of attention from the ladies (not to mention a certain fellow X Factor contestant Diana Vickers) it doesn't seem that the former singer has anyone special in his life right now.

Form an orderly queue, folks!

At her lowest point, Megan Jayne weighed just 5st, was kept alive by a feeding tube and told she had just weeks to live.

Though she wasn't diagnosed with anorexia until the age of 14, Megan says she had self-esteem issues from as early as five years old.

These days though, she has embraced her curves and uses images of her own body to inspire others, sharing pictures with her 44k Instagram followers on a daily basis. 

Megan might seem like she exudes body confidence, but she admits that even after her physical recovery she still couldn't wrap her head around the idea that curves could be beautiful.

"My weight never relapsed back down to dangerously low, but my mind never truly recovered," she says on her website, BodyPosiPanda.

"I tripled my body weight in a year, and was thrown right back into a world of diet talk and airbrushed ideals, in a newly chubby body that I was disgusted with."

Through the medium of social media though, Megan found a whole community of people who were proud of their bodies regardless of how they looked.

"Somehow I stumbled across a body positive hashtag, and saw all these people of every shape and size unapologetically loving themselves.

"Slowly, reluctantly, something dawned on me: I just could not live the rest of my life hating myself."

Now, six years on, Megan describes herself as a "recovered anorexic and recovered self-loather," and she's using her experiences to help others.

"Whatever you’ve been taught to hate about yourself, whether it’s your weight, your height, your skin colour, your gender, your age, your ability – you are more than that thing," she says.

At the height of her Instagram fame, Australian teen Essena O'Neill was making upwards of €1,500 a post, with over 600,000 followers hanging on her every word.

But after three years of faking it, the 18-year-old has finally had enough.

On October 27 she deleted 2,000 photos from her feed, leaving only a handful – with the captions re-edited to show the grim truth behind them all.

One photo of her lying by a pool studying while wearing a bikini was once captioned, "Things are getting pretty wild at my house. Maths B and English in the sun."

Now it reads, "See how relatable my captions were – stomach sucked in, strategic pose, pushed up boobs.

"I just want younger girls to know this isn’t candid life, or cool or inspirational. It’s contrived perfection made to get attention."

As well as skipping meals, exercising "excessively" and "barely eating" to stay slim, Essena says she was hugely insecure and felt her body was her only asset.

Another photo of her sitting on the beach reads, "NOT REAL LIFE – took over 100 in similar poses trying to make my stomach look good. Would have hardly eaten that day. Would have yelled at my little sister to keep taking them until I was somewhat proud of this. Yep so totally #goals."

The teen says she often took hundreds of photos, editing her selfies in various different apps until they looked exactly how she wanted them to.

Referring to a snap which shows her pulling her t-shirt up to reveal her toned stomach, Essena admits the photo was "the only thing that made me feel good that day."

As well as revealing the insecurities behind the seemingly carefree images, Essena has pointed out various photos she only posted to earn money.

"NOT REAL LIFE – paid $$$ to promote both the jeans and top," she wrote next to a "candid" shot of herself looking out to sea wearing jeans and a black top.

"Any girl with a lot of followers promoting a bikini brand is paid, I would say 99% of the time," she wrote next to another. 

"If they tag a company 99% of the time it's paid."

To further explain her decision to come clean, Essena has set up a website, Lets Be Game Changers, where she has been posting daily vlogs.

"Anyone who spends hours and hours on a screen wishing they could have a 'perfect' life, this is for you," she writes. 

"There is nothing cool about spending all your time taking edited pictures of yourself to prove to the world 'you are enough.'"
