If you know me well, you will know that I am a little obsessed with photography and taking photos. Whether it be on my iphone or on a DSLR camera, you will always find me taking snaps of everything. Nowadays, we all post our pictures online on Facebook, Instagram or store them on our computers. As much as I love being able to show everyone my photos, there's something special about having physical copies to keep and reminisce over. There are many ways to have these memories at your fingertips.
During Autumn last year, I heard about a website called 'Printstagram'. This website allows you to print your instagram photos and have them made into cute polaroid-style photos. You can choose from a mini size, which I opted for, or a larger size. You can also make stickers, calendars and much more, which is pretty cool. I think my order of 48 mini squares was roughly £25. I decided to try this out as I had recently decorated my room and felt that these would liven up the room and make a great decoration. Below are some pictures of my Printstagram collection, I decided to shape it like a heart.
Another thing I love doing is taking photos in a photobooth, the experience is so fun and you get a cute selection of photos for an inexpensive price. You can find a photobooth in most shopping centres. The black and white strip is actually from the Brandy Melville on Carnaby Street in London! Some shops such as Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch give you the chance to have a photo with the models for free.
As you may not know, I have a slight obsession with jars and retro tins. I find them very handy for storing things and organising my bits and bobs. Yesterday, I found this gorgeous vintage coca-cola tin in Flutterbyes. I am in love! I got it for £3.29 which I thought was a great price. I found it so perfect for storing little knick-knacks such as these photos. I keep some old home photos, the photobooth strips I've collected over the years and some left-over Prinstagram photos.
I love looking through these photos, I always feel very nostalgic and I can't wait to see what photos I take in the future. So print out your photos and store them, it's such a different feeling to looking at them on a screen.
Thanks for reading, Jennie xx
