London-based blogger @labelsforlunch (otherwise known as Fashion For Lunch) began Instagramming in October 2012, when
her detail-shots of pretty vintage finds, sparkly nail polish and colourful
foods attracted followers in droves. Now, at just over 40,900 dedicated fans,
this self-confessed colour addict gives us the scoop on fashion, photography
and following her wanderlust across the world in 2017.
Your Instagram profile is full of vibrant, enchanting
clothes and accessories, but what would you say is your most prized fashion
find?
Ohhhh probably my Chanel items. Many of them are gifts from
my fiancé and they are all items I dreamed of owning when I was younger. I love
wearing them and they feel really special and important. I also have some
really special vintage dresses which I loved wearing when I was at uni! I can’t
get rid of them even though I will probably never wear them again!
There’s never a dull image on your feed – was colour
something you set out to focus on from the very beginning? Or did your
aesthetic progress as you went along?
I think it’s gotten more colourful as time has gone on,
especially as I learnt to use a camera and whatnot! Also, I moved house; my
last flat was dark and dingy (a rental in East London) and now I have bigger
rooms with more light and the freedom to decorate, which has really let me have
fun with colour!
You don’t feature in many of your photos. Do you prefer to
stay behind the lens?
Yes, for some reason I feature myself on my blog more. I
feel more exposed on Instagram; I’m always afraid I’m going to get trolled or
something silly! I occasionally put details shots in which include my arm,
legs, hand, etc. There’s something about putting myself on Instagram which just
makes me feel somewhere between self-conscious and self-obsessed!
For me, I always look for accounts which are really fun and playful or really cool. I like seeing new things, new angles, new trends, new brands… But I also just love really pretty pictures! I follow some accounts which are really brown and natural, and others which are pumped-up accounts filled with bright-coloured everything. It’s nice to follow a mix as long as it’s stimulating and beautiful.
You’ve got a huge fan base of fellow colour addicts; what
can they expect to see from you in 2017?
Hopefully planning some trips to some really cool corners of
the world! Doing interior design in my house so lots more fun to be had there
(I painted my front door pink recently and gave it a ‘there’s no place like
home…’ lettering on it) – so more like that! Hopefully just keeping things
improving and keep having fun! I always share loads of content on my blog and
Twitter too so it’s always worth popping by there for more info and images!
