I’m pretty sure 2013 was *the best year* in terms of effective ~social media~ usage – so it seemed only fitting to do an intense Instagram retrospective (that might’ve taken me 3+ hours to filter through and compile…but anyway).
 

We created the @kastorandpollux Instagram account exactly ONE YEAR FROM TODAY and have since grown our feed to be an all-encompassing collective of every single facet of our business, our life, and our ever-growing closets.

Whether we’re on the streets of New York, hanging out on my balcony, or rummaging through old Facebook albums for appropriate #throwbackthursday photos, I’d like to think we make our actually not-that-cool lives kind of cool looking. But maybe that’s the VSCO Cam deceiving me…
 

If you follow us on Instagram, you’ll see us….

ACTING LIKE NORMAL GIRLS WITH A PLETHORA OF #OOTD SNAPS

Of course, the majority of you follow us to see what kind of things we clothe our bodies with – so to satisfy your sartorial needs, there is no shortage of #ootd action of our feed.

ALSO: Though they’re definitely present, we try to avoid the mirror selfie as much as possible
 

WHEN WE EMBARRASS OURSELVES WITH THROWBACK PICTURES WE NEVER THOUGHT WOULD RESURFACE

Some of these date back to 2008 and act as pictorial evidence that nothing has really changed in over 5 years. #realtalk

ALSO: if you want blackmail material, we suggest you save these pictures to your hard drive before we change our mind and delete the evidence.
 

WHEN WE’RE HARD AT WORK…

Whether we have a camera or a pencil crayon in hand, we’re always sure to document the process on Instagram.
 

GRACING THE WORLD WITH OUR PRESENCE AT VARIOUS EVENTS

When we have a free second and decide to stop stuffing our faces with Cheetos, we go to some cool fashion events, sometimes. This year, we participated in Mendocino’s #mymendomoment project, hosted a pop-up shop at Sauvage, had our photograph blown up onto a wall at Toronto Life’s Most Stylish soiree, and helped open the Topshop store at Sherway Gardens.
 

ATTEMPTING TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT ~TRUE FRIENDSHIP~ REALLY LOOKS LIKE

We’re not always posing he he he we’re just like u.

ALSO: How weird is that last picture of Bianca hugging me? I look like a giant.
 

WHEN WE TRY TO PROVE TO THE INTERNET THAT WE HAVE FRIENDS OTHER THAN EACH OTHER

Contrary to popular belief, our friend list consists of more than one person. It consists of like, 3 people. Respectively. Just jk. Lol.

DIVULGING DA SECRETZ BY SHOWING U WHAT’S TO COME…

PLUGGING OUR PRODUCTS BY REGRAMMING BEAUTIFUL HUMANS WEARING OUR CREATIONS…

They’re all our friends, but it still counts for something right?

IN ALL OUR SELFIE GLORY(!!!)

We have lots of different facial expressions ranging from happy to really happy to serious to sassy to sensual (with a flower) to kawaii princess. Now you know.
