10 Best Instagram Accounts to Follow

In case it wasn't obvious, I love Instagram. I post a photo nearly every day to my account: miss_beccabecca. I also manage the Instagram accounts for two non-profits, but I'll talk more about that later. I'm so obsessed with Instagram that every Monday I show my 5 favorite photos of the previous week  (check out my latest Insta-Becca post). And this week I decided to list my 10 favorite accounts to follow.

I love seeing Top 10's of anything, so I went through all of the accounts I follow and chose the ones with photos that I tend to stop at regularly and like while I'm scrolling through my feed. This list is no particular order. I'm also not giving any bias to celebrity accounts. Sorry Justin Bieber, but just because you're famous and take a lot of selfies doesn't make your Instagram a good one (Disclaimer: I do not follow Justin Bieber).

designlovefest comes from the Bri, whose amazingly creative blog is one I've been following for years. She does tons of photo shoots that are always guaranteed to be fun and colorful.


fullyrawkristina hails from Houston and runs the largest produce co-op in the nation. She is a raw vegan and has a great youtube channel that encourages people to be healthy and shows recipes that only require fruits and veggies. Her photos are so bright and vibrant, they make produce look irresistible!


csiriano is the account of clothing designer Christian Siriano, who you might remember won Project Runway Season 4. You probably also know him because he has been killing it in fashion ever since. Tons of celebrities wear his clothes and I love the way he plays with volume. His account shows photos of the design process that include sketches, dressmaking, and the final product like this photo from his 2015 spring collection.


stylemesustainable comes from Jessika, the eco fashion and lifestyle blogger. Her account has these cool little snapshots of her life, half of which take place outside, and all of which includes something eco-friendly.


keeoone is the account of Keegan Allen, who plays Toby on Pretty Little Liars. You may be surprised to find out that he is a great photographer. He does shots of both people and landscapes. He uses light in a really neat way and has a photography book coming out in February.


couldihavethat features photos take by Samantha, a fashion and lifestyle blogger. Her photos are minimalistic and refreshing. It's inspiring to see that not a lot needs to be going on to make a good photo.


nasa has one of the best Instagram accounts out there. Do you like colors? Do you like space? Do you like anything awesome? Then follow nasa! Any age or gender would appreciate the photos. This is the account for everyone.


laurenconrad posts photos that are just so pretty. The colors are toned down (someone likes the Nashville filter) and browsing through her account makes you feel relaxed. She is the only celebrity on this list but I think that her soft and breezy photos deserve a shout out.


emilyschuman is run by Emily of the lifestyle blog Cupcakes & Cashmere. I've been reading her blog for many years and the photos taken by her and her husband are wonderful. Her interests in fashion, food, and entertaining are what drew me to her account. The creativity never stops- seriously, a Halloween-themed candy bar?!


villageshouston is the account I run for the fair trade, non-profit store Ten Thousand Villages. Fair trade is something that I've supported since I was 15 and I am still passionate about it. Even if you're not wild about fair trade or don't know much about it, you can learn about it through the website or the account. I post daily photos, usually of products that come to the store from an artisan in a developing country who receives fair wages because of fair trade.



There it is! There are so many Instagram accounts out there to follow. It was hard choosing my favorites. I'm always on the lookout for more inspiring people to follow. Let me know what your favorites are!
