Our (and Party Baby's) current favorite addiction courtesy of the social media gods comes in the form of iPhone app, Instagram; within a minute you can snap a mobile photo, give it a faux vintage-looking filter, upload it, et voila, you've created your own masterpiece and can see those of users followed as they're uploaded in real time on your feed. Throw some well-informed fashion insiders into the mix of who you follow and your feed can feel like you're sitting front row at NYFW as it happens, complete with street style photos and some backstage runway action as well.
