I’m pretty much convinced that the photos I take using the Instagram app on my iPhone are, like, high art, so I was stoked to learn about Instawatch, from accessories brand May28th, which turns your Instagram snaps into a watch face. After choosing your photo (you can also upload any non-Instagram photo you want) and selecting a band color, ordering your new wristwatch is just a couple more clicks away. The worst part of making my first Instawatch was choosing which photo to feature — again, my Instagram photos are just amazing – but I eventually settled on this Southern California sunset photo. The brilliant, dusky colors (caused my all that smog) and the palm tree silhouettes will remind me of where I grew up whenever I check the time. Rad. [$44, Instawatch.me]

Tired of keeping your high-contrast selfies and manicure photos confined to your cellphone? Thanks to a service called Stitchagram, you can turn those perfectly filtered square images into throw pillows, tote bags, and coin purses to decorate your home and accessorize your outfits. Stitchagram prompts you to log into your Instagram account to create a photo collage, and then prints it on the product of your choice. I initially cringed at the thought of Instagram creeping into the home decor arena, but I think a pillow covered in fun pictures could be a great gift for someone going away to college, and an Instagrammed waffle tote bag would certainly earn you some hipster cred in the vegan brunch scene. What do you guys think? Would you ever buy a product decorated with your Instagram photos? [via Laughing Squid]

This is Param, or as he goes by on Instagram, Lavish. He has a lot of money — or rather, his parents have a lot of money — and they don’t mind him stealing a few hundred thousand for posing and playing. Hailing from San Francisco, Lavish has amassed more than 70,000 followers on Instagram, fans who are mystified by his bizarrely luxurious life. But let’s just hear from Lavish in his own words, shall we? “My life is like Louis Vuitton, everyone wants it. You made ur bed so sleep in it peasants.”

Lavish prolifically documents his excessive lifestyle on the ‘gram. There’s the “using Perrier to flush my toilets” photo. The “I’m using hundred dollar bills as a blanket” shot. And the “Of course I hand in my civics homework with $175 gold-plated staples, bitch” picture. His excess is so well-known that even noted ascetic and frugal chef Rihanna commented on some of his photos. Keep reading »

I’ve decided to stop using Instagram. It only just occurred to me that maybe I don’t want people to see where I am and who I’m with at that exact moment. There are lots of other things you can use Instagram for, of course, and I can always take those photos and ‘gram ‘em later, but that loses the whole “Insta” part of it.

Why am I giving it up? I’ve gone through my feed and I see some friends and acquaintances who are not only taking a photo of where they are but have also “checked in,” and described their exact place within that location (like, “Partying at [cool club here] in the back room, like rockstars!”) One day I thought, “Wow, this has the potential to be really dangerous.” Then I thought about how when I’ve gone on vacation I’ve posted my vacation pics on Instagram, too. It’s almost like I’m saying, “I’m not home right now, I am clearly across the country at the moment, feel free to rob my apartment and steal my car.” Keep reading »

Instagram is taking over weddings and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I was gleefully pinning my way through Pinterest, looking for things to add to my “WEDDING INSANITY BOARD” when I found the above posted photo.

My immediate reaction was, “THIS IS WHAT TECHNOLOGY HAS DONE TO US.”

I’ll tell you what I wasn’t hoping to see when I logged onto my computer yesterday: Scott Baio taking a bubble bath. He tweeted this picture of himself during tub time saying “Is anyone casting for a new Alfalfa? @NickelodeonTV.”

I only could have felt more uncomfortable if there were peen float and rubber duckies. Any positive feelings that remained from the “Charles in Charge” days are now gone. Charles has lost control. How do we let celebs know that there are some moments that should not be shared with the world? Whether it be bubble baths, toilet business or eyebrow waxing, these famous dudes made us want to push the untweet button. [Seriously OMG]

#LoveVandal: Post Your Photos Of Love Graffiti To Twitter And Instagram!

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 14, 2013 //

Have you seen graffiti that’s kind of sweet (even if it is against the law)? In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’re reviving Love Vandal, in which we feature reader photos of love-inspired graffiti around the world. The next time you see a sweet message scrawled in a bathroom stall, lovers’ initials written or carved on the sidewalk or in a tree, a romantic platitude spray-painted on a highway overpass, or hearts, kisses, and the like plastered anywhere they’re not really “supposed” to be, snap a pic and post it to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #lovevandal. In addition to being added to the Chute gallery after the jump (click on the thumbnails to see ‘em large), we’ll choose our favorites to specially feature on The Frisky. Check out some existing Love Vandals after the jump and start keeping your eye peeled… Keep reading »

The 10 Most Instagrammed Things Of Every Year Ever

So, the list of the most Instagrammed places in the world for 2012 has been released. The Bangkok Airport came in at #1, and the rest of the spots–Disneyland, the Eiffel Tower, Times Square–are pretty predictable, but focusing on the most popular places leaves out some really iconic Instagram photo subjects. I mean, where are the freshly manicured hands, adorable cat faces, and triumphant stacks of pancakes? Obviously we needed to compile a companion list of the 10 Most Instagrammed Things Of The Year (and every year for all eternity, most likely) — and nearly every single one is accompanied by pictures from our Amelia’s own Instagram account. Here we go…

How To Have The Perfect Life
On Facebook, anyway! 11 Photos »

Yesterday, Instagram released an updated privacy policy and terms of service statement that has caused something of an uproar in the land of lo-fi pancake photos. The gist of it? Instagram now reserves the right to sell your photos, it doesn’t have to tell you about it, and the only way to opt out is deleting your account. Facebook, which completed its acquisition of Instagram three months ago, has similar policies regarding the photos you share on your profile, but since Instagram deals only in pictures, CNet reporter Declan Mccullagh points out that these changes “effectively transform the website into the world’s largest stock photo agency.” Keep reading »

"Look at this Instagram!"

As an unabashed fan of both Instagram and Nickelback, I must admit this parody video stung a little, but it also made me laugh nonstop for three minutes. Also, I was simultaneously delighted and horrified when Julie came up with the phrase “Nickelbacked for your pleasure,” but in this case, it’s really a perfect description.
