Instagram Re-Boot with Sofia Emm

My friend Sofia recently held a workshop for “Re-Booting Your Instagram” for an intimate group of local bloggers and small businesses. Sofia is an amazing photographer and her Instagram and marketing skills are in my opinion, top notch. The workshop took place over a span of almost two hours and included a powerpoint presentation and a Q&A session.

Here are some highlights of what I learned:

** Your profile bio should be clear and concise.

** Your URL should link to your blog, business site or event you are promoting.

** Be true to your Instagram voice…

** Create image editing recipe and use it to keep seamless feel throughout the feed…

** Cooler images have better response than warmer images…

** ID safe content:

** Post everyday at least once a day…

** Always follow those who support you…

** Follow list should be lower than followers list…

** Always be inviting in your caption/call-to-action…

** Follow trends (#TBT, #MotivationMonday, etc)…

** Giveaways aren’t always the best growth strategy…

** Post things your followers can relate and connect to…

Lastly…

** Don’t be afraid to tell your story…

I’ve been wanting to spotlight my “Los Angeles Postcard Print” vintage blouse I bought from the Instagram vintage shop- Revival Vintage Co, for awhile now and was glad when I was finally able to break it out and wear it for this post in collaboration with a few other Houston fashion bloggers. Since it was still rather chilly, I paired the top with my easy floral print pants to complement the look. Now, since it was all about print mixing, I did try to piece together several looks the night before, but this final one just “felt right.” I added my favorite green statement necklace from Stella & Dot (no longer available) and a bright vintage handbag I recently thrifted as added color bonuses.

This is my first style post collaboration with other bloggers. I was thrilled when I was asked to share my style point-of-view with five other lovely ladies, all with their own unique style personalities. The ladies with whom I collaborated with are:

Houston’s Discovery Green, a lush greenspace located in the heart of Downtown, offers numerous art installations throughout the year. The one that particularly caught my eye was the latest: Los Trompos or ‘Spinning Tops’ – a colorful interactive space that resembles the familiar children’s toy. It was created by Mexico City designers Héctor Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena and was inspired by nature and traditional Latin American design, architecture and folk art.

Earlier this week, I grabbed Sofia for an early morning shoot there. I chose to wear all black because I wanted to show the contrast with the vibrant art.

** Los Trompos can be accessed at the park’s Sarofim Picnic Lawn from November 14, 2015 – March 22, 2016. **
