I’m all about Instagram. When I got an account a few years ago, it was kind of like an “okay finnneee, I’ll see what it’s all about” thing. I became an overinstagrammer almost immediately and I apologized for it a lot. But I just had to document every significant moment (plus a trillion grainy, faded filters). I guess I still post a lot on Instagram depending on what the day looks like, but I like to think I take it easy on the filters now. :)

These are some of my most favorite people to follow on Instagram. They each have very different creative lifestyles and they inspire me daily.

(top left, clockwise)

1. @designlovefest – Bri Emery has one of the most colorful (and pretty) Instagram accounts out there. She inspires me every day to put myself out there and fill my life with more color and more flowers.

2. @annariflebond –  If you love Rifle Paper Co. and you’re not following Anna Bond yet, go make that happen! Anna posts so many Rifle Paper behind the scenes deets, including lots of videos of her painting. It’s mesmerizing.

3. @kristinrogers – Kristin Rogers has the sweetest and most creative family! I love following along on their adventures of homeschooling, outdoor exploring, art projects, and pet-sitting.

4. @benjaminhole – Benjamin Hole’s Instagram features the most stunning photos of his life on a farm in England. My favorite posts are the ones featuring leaping puppies or herds of sheep in the foggy morning light. They are guaranteed to give you pure joy and an ache for farm life.

5. @mindykaling – Mindy Kaling is one of my favorites because…she is Mindy Kaling.

6. @humansofny – It’s amazing to think about the thousands and thousands of people we see every day that we don’t interact with. Scrolling through Brandon Stanton’s posts reminds me that in every human being are unique stories of encouragement, inspiration, heartache, humor, or all of the above. Also, Stanton released a book that you can find here!

7. @sfgirlbybay – I feel like I owe my passion for blogging to Victoria Smith aka sfgirlbybay. She inspired me to start blogging in the first place! I love seeing the city of San Francisco through her eyes, and I’m always adding more city gems to my list of places to visit.

8. @thiswildidea Lastly… MADDIE! I hope you guys have all been introduced to Theron Humphrey’s coonhound Maddie, via Instagram or the book Maddie on Things. She is a brilliant dog who can stand on anything and she goes on tour. Major cool points.

I hope that if you’re not already following these peeps, you will check them out! Who are your favorite Instagrammers?
