Hi friends! I hope you’ve had a great week! Some of you already know, but my Instagram account was hacked this week. So far, Instagram is not doing anything at all to help me recover it. The help center is the most unhelpful help center I’ve EVER experienced. There is literally no way to access my account when the email, password, and phone number have been changed. Unfortunately, I will be losing upcoming holiday collaborations, which is a large part of my income. And, I miss connecting with so many of you on that platform! If any of you know someone at Instagram who can help, please let me know. In other news, I’m excited to be able to spend the day with Mom today. She’s coming to town to help me sort through the Christmas ornaments that she’s given us over the years. I always enjoy our time together. Hope you have the best weekend!
This floral top is gorgeous!
I started watching the series, Maid this week. So good!
Have you seen the latest shearling drop?
Stuck on Hue might be the beautiful source for designer pillows! She even makes these pretty Christmas stockings.
I’m hoping to finish this book this weekend.

Rene, Mysha from Remington Avenue had a similar experience not long ago. Message her and ask her what she did. Good luck. XO

Everyone I’ve read who’ve had their account hacked says the same thing about how awful Instagram is. I don’t know how they continue getting away with it, but I guess it’s a monopoly.
I’m sorry this happened to you, it’s almost like a job loss isn’t it? I hope you get it sorted.

I followed a story about you being hacked from your account. Does this mean you got it back? I got the exact same DM – but didn’t click – because they said it was copyright issues and I share only my own photos on my timeline so I thought it was fishy. I am so sorry this happened to you! That said, Erica Reitman had her account shut down randomly and she was able to get it back. I think she has a tutorial on her page about how to get your account back/who to call.

Hi Amy. Thank you for commenting! I do not have my account back despite the hundreds of forms I’ve filled out and messages I have sent. I’ve tried through Linked In, Facebook Business, Instagram, Instagram Business, etc. over and over since Tuesday. I’m so glad you didn’t click on the link! It looked legit at first glance. Looking back, if I had paid closer attention, I would not have clicked – I was in a hurry at the time & the message said that my account would be deleted in 24 hours. It’s meant to make people panic and respond quickly. I just hope that the message I put up on insta yesterday will save others from going through the same thing! Thanks for the tip! I will look for Erica’s tutorial!
