Since starting the FCP course, I'm always screenshotting and saving things like crazy to give me inspiration on my projects, blog posts and for my sketch book, and since Instagram introduced the bookmarking tool, life has been made so much easier! I thought it would be a cool idea to show you what sort of things I've been saving on both my personal account (@itsgeorgiaxo) and my FCP account (@itsgeorgiafcp).

This appeared as a sponsored post from Rimmel London and I saved it because it could come as great inspiration to a photo shoot where the make up, especially the eye make up, is important. It's such a quirky way to do eyeliner and I particularly like the turquoise colour, it really pops out against her fair skin and gingery eyebrows.

This is quite contrived and somewhat controversial, but I really like it! The caption to this was 'Mood
🌸👄🌸🍃', which I suppose kind of says it all; it's about attitude and exploring sexuality, but it's also what you make of it. I really recommend having a look at the Hunger Magazine feed because it's got an amazing aesthetic, which is full of colour and so culturally diverse. I'm going off on a bit of a tangent now, but long story short I think that it's images like this that we need to see more of to stop skirting around diversity.

Embroidery is everywhere at the moment and Alexander Mcqueen has been doing it really well in their SS17 collection. There's quite a few photos of their embroidered pieces on their Instagram that I've been loving. I love imagery of bunches of wild flowers, I've been seeing it everywhere from tattoos to post-production on photographers. Alexander McQueen could have gone completely overboard with this and taken on the look of an overgrown forest but they've got it to a level of perfection.

This is very Mert & Marcus in terms of colour and that's what I love about this image. There's something I really like about coastal America/neon scenes such as this one. This particular image was taken by @gallivanti, who has a lot of images like this on his Instagram page. It reminds me of the scene in Spring Breakers (Harmony Korine) where they're in the pool at night when Candy and Brit are teasing Faith. Justin Bieber channelled this a bit too in the 'What Do You Mean' video.

Lastly, I saved this one because I really want these ceramic pots and I really hope they get them in the UK Tiger stores, because this particular image was reposted from the Flying Tiger Belgium page. That's all really. I suppose I just wanted to show you how random my saves are and the fact that Instagram has now made it possible to categorised your bookmarked posts is perfect for making sure that your inspiration images are all together and not all muddled up with posts of random ceramic pots!
