This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Colby chapter.
Finally caved into getting instagram? Bored of just your friends’ photos? Out of the two hundred accounts (I know, it’s a lot) that I follow, here’s my top ten list of accounts to follow—a mix of Colby, nature and fashion! Instagram is a great way to keep on top of what your favorite groups, brands and bloggers are up to without having read hundreds of tweets or check every page individually.
- http://instagram.com/colbycollege/# (@colbycollege). Admittedly, they don’t post a lot, but follow the account and tag it in your photos of Colby if you’d like your photos posted to Colby’s facebook page!
- http://instagram.com/colby_instaearth/# (@colby_instaearth). Featuring awesome nature photos by Colby students, this account is run by EnviroCo. Look out for beautiful campus photos and photos from students studying abroad!
- http://instagram.com/natgeo/# (@natgeo). As National Geographic’s official account, it posts the best photos from recent articles daily, with links to the photographers’ websites and accounts. I love when these inspiring photos pop up in my feed.
- http://instagram.com/parisvsnyc/# (@parisvsnyc). French graphic designer Vahram Muratyan, famous for his blog and book, Paris versus New York, a tally of two cities, shows us a bit of both cities through his talented eye on this account.
- http://instagram.com/__cw/# (@__cw). I’m biased because the owner of _cw, Chris Wang, is my cousin, but his “visual diary” is just too cool not to share. Using photoshop and other tools, he adds text and graphics to ordinary photos, such as this one: http://instagram.com/p/NUws5mIdsq/
- http://instagram.com/kjp/# (@kjp). The ever-popular eponymous preppy all-American brand and blog started by Kiel James Patrick also has an instragram presence! Follow him for your daily dose of preppy menswear details and impeccably dressed New Englanders.
- http://instagram.com/bullettmagazine/# (@bullettmagazine). For a crazier take on fashion, follow Bullett Magazine. It features mostly cool fashion finds (like a French fry button-down, platform wedge Adidas sneakers, a snake-printed skirt) and the occasional photo or two from the magazine.
- http://instagram.com/clarevivier/# (@clarevivier). French bag designer Clare Vivier, based in Los Angeles, posts photos of her life, her inspirations and of her collections. A chic perspective into the life of a Frenchwoman!
- http://instagram.com/dannijo/# (@dannijo). Sisters Danni and Jo Snyder, founders of jewelry line DANNIJO, post fun collages of their jewelry and what they’re up to. Fashionable and fun, they also post photos of themselves and celebs wearing their jewelry.
- http://instagram.com/jordanandzac/# (@jordanandzac). Remember the Sprouse twins from the Disney Channel? Well twins Jordan and Zach Stenmark, both models, look the way you wish Dylan and Cole grew up to be. Both have been featured in shoots in magazines like GQ, L’Officel Homme Paris and have walked in Calvin Klein’s show. Definitely some eye candy you need in your feed!
Well, that’s all for now, hopefully you enjoyed looking through some of these photos. If you want to know more accounts to follow, look me up @_amykao and check out who else I follow, or leave me a comment!
