Favorites: Beautiful Instagram accounts
ORACLEFOXBLOG by Amanda Shadforth
This Instagram account is absolutely breath-taking. It is super simple, clean and consistent. Most of Amanda’s photos are in shades of black and white with an occasional pop of colour. Amanda has an incredible sense of style and with two hundred and eighty-five thousand followers, her Instagram is a direct reflection of her blog. Not only is she super stylish but she is also a photographer by profession as well as an illustrator and stylist. I mean!? I hardly think it is fair that one person is talented enough to create all of that credible original content. Anyway, you should follow her if beautiful photos are your thing. Check her out below:
SHORT_STACHE by Garrett King
Now, to be honest, the most I know about Garrett King is that he is a designer from Denver in the US of A and he takes killer pictures on his iPhone 5s. I have been following him on Instagram for over a year now and I’ve probably liked every single photo that he has uploaded since. They are just so beautiful! His photography is moody, deep and always rich in colour. When I see his photos I feel like I am walking beside him in a forest full of mist or attending a Yankee’s baseball game (those are the pictures his photos paint in my head, ok?). I feel like great photography should have the power to transport you to that specific moment, and this is exactly what the SHORT_STACHE Instagram account does for me. You can thank me later.
ARIELEALASKO By Ariele Alasko
Ariele is a woodworker, furniture builder and amazing Instagram artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Her Instagram account is rustic, warm and real. I love her consistent use of colour and her clear love for animals. I feel like I’m going home when I see her uploads. Have a look at her website, her products are amazing! I want to decorate my whole house with her furniture. But I can’t, because all of her products are sold out – obviously, because they’re amazing.
Guys, it’s slightly worrying just how much I love Instagram. I think it’s a beautiful creative outlet with a personal feel. It is super inspiring to me and I feel like it pushes my own creativity. I will be posting about my favorite Instagram accounts more regularly or as and when I discover new artists. Who are your favorite Instagramers? I would love to hear your comments and suggestions.

My Favorite Fashion Bloggers
I LOVE fashion blogging, that’s the reason why I have started a blog of my own. I love seeing other people’s personal style and creative interpretation. So here is a list of my current favorite fashion bloggers (local and international), and a little bit about why I love their style so much.
FANCY PANTS by Amy Scheepers
Amy is definitely my favorite blogger at the moment. I visit her site everyday to check for updates. She has an incredible sense of style and her photos are impeccable, which makes complete sense because she is a professional photographer. I think one of the reasons I love her blog so much is that she’s South African and this makes me incredibly proud. Originally from Port Elizabeth, Amy is now a Cape Town local. Check her out on her social networks below (don’t even get me started on her Instagram account!).
INDIA ROSE By India Rose
I recently stumbled upon India’s Instagram account (I think you can tell just how much I love Instagram by now) and instantly fell in love with her simple, black & white androgynous style. She makes style posts seem so effortless and cool. Another thing I (very deeply) respect is her obvious love for Adidas, a clear common interest. India is based in the UK and her style personifies the gloomy weather (in a good way!). Flip, I just want to be her friend.
MICAH GIANNELI By Micah Gianneli
In the name of all things holy, HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL? She is amazing! Her style is impossibly perfect and she generates content like no other fashion blogger I’m aware of. Every dam day, she posts a new outfit. There must be something in the water in Australia because the fashion bloggers who come from there are on a whole different level. Micah’s looks are always current, sexy and perfectly groomed. She is definitely one of my style icons. Also, her Instagram account?! That’s all I’m saying…
MY LIFE IN PINK By Emma Menteath
New on the blogging block is Cape Town model Emma Menteath. Her looks are always perfectly styled and photographed by one of the best in the South African fashion industry, her boyfriend Justin Polkey. This creative combination makes for stunning viewing. Alongside her fashion blogging, Emma posts about health, DIY tips and beauty regimes. Check out her social networks below:
FASHION BREED By Aqeelah Harron
Aqeelah is one of my favorite fashion bloggers because a) she has a beautifully sophisticated way of dressing, and b) Fashion Breed has a beautifully genuine feeling about it, which makes me want to come back to the blog over and over again. The Captonian has been blogging for 4 years now, and it shows. Her site’s design is simple, chic and seriously easy to use. What’s better is Aqeelah is not only beautiful, but great with words too. Check her out on the social networks below:
