Hello beautiful!
This article is a step-by-step guide to creating a beautiful WHI profile.
It's easy than you think to:
- Create a coordinated overall appearance
- Define your theme
- Gain followers who love what you do
1 | Choose and stick to one theme
Create a mood board of inspiration of the type of aesthetic you want for your We Heart It profile.
For example:
- Art hoe (Van Gogh, succulents, paint-splattered floor boards)
- Vogue (pearls, high-fashion magazines, trench coats)
- Grunge (dark art, Doc Martens, cuss words)
- Bohemian (healing crystals, indoor pot plants, maxi skirts)
- Minimalist (simple abstract art, black and white photography)
Knowing what your aesthetic is will help you heart the pictures that fit the theme of your account instead of just hearting random photos.
This way, your canvas will look beautiful and consistent.
2 | Choose a colour palette
Your colour palette is as important as your theme. Choose a palette according to your theme/ aesthetic.
My colour palette:
3 | Pick a profile picture, cover photo, and bio that match your theme & colours
Your profile picture, cover photo, and bio are the first impression potential followers will see.
Try to make this impression perfect!
For inspiration, check out We Heart It-famous profiles and how they do use their profile picture, cover photo, and bio.
4 | Create collections
Collections make it easy for people to quickly and efficiently see your theme, or 'aesthetic'.
For example, here are my signature collections:
- Haveabout 10-30 collections (as long as you can add hearts to each collection at least once a week)
- Include a description of the collection.
5 | Take inspiration from an era
Pick an era and be inspired by its aesthetic, fashion, and colour palette.
I'm not saying to go 100% retro, but a few well-placed touches make any profile dreamy!
6 | Write articles
Honestly, writing articles makes such a difference!
A lot of my followers are people who love my art-journaling articles:
You don't have to be a pro at writing to make an article! All you need is a laptop/ computer (you can't write an article from a phone).

7 | Know your worth
Social media is what it is.
Every single day, we are bombarded with pictures of people with "perfect" bodies living "perfect lives".
Let this inspire you, not drag you down.
Create a positive self-image, and don't let anyone tell you that you're anything less than you are.
8 | Know when it's time for a break
A social media detox for even a day every week does wonders.
