Instagram is great for keeping up with what your friends are doing, but it can also be a great source for inspiration. I follow a mixture of talented creatives who help push me to take better photos, experiment with my make-up and make bolder fashion choices. If you're wanting to freshen up your feed with beautiful and inspiring images, look no further than this round-up of my favourite Instagram accounts. They're too good to keep to myself!
Make-up
@lucygarland I came across Aussie babe Lucy Garland when I was searching on YouTube for Violet Chachki make-up tutorials. Her version was so flawless and I'm obsessed with all her other drag make-up looks.
@sarahillmakeup Sara Hill is a woman of many talents. She's mostly known as a make-up artist, based in Glasgow, and last year she launched a fab cruelty free make-up brand. You'll find a mixture of her work and other MUA's creative looks using Sara Hill make-up.
@sugarpill Moving on to another cruelty free make-up brand, Sugarpill's Instagram is full of the most colourful and unique make-up looks created by their most talented customers.

Photography
@_classon I came across Classon through ScotStreetStyle earlier this year. The newly emerged photography duo Jack Reuben and Connor Howieson are based in Edinburgh and they've already got off to a great start by shooting for the award winning sunglasses brand Tens.
@jirina.fi Jirina is a fashion, glamour and portrait photographer who I had the pleasure of meeting last month. She recently moved to Glasgow from Helsinki and she's definitely one to watch.
Art/Illustrations
@markviceart If you haven't heard of Mark Vice yet - I strongly suggest you check out his Instagram which is full of the most vibrant and playful paintings. His distinctive pop art portraits include fashion, Scottish iconography and celebrity culture themes.
@saraherranz I've blogged about my favourite fashion illustrators in previous posts but I haven't yet mentioned Sara Herrenz. You may have come across her work before though as she's created illustrations for the likes of Vogue and Gucci.
@lauracallaghanillustration Laura Callaghan is an Irish illustrator based in London and her clients have included Nylon and Urban Outfitters. Her work features sassy and strong women in everyday situations. Prepare to swoon!
Fashion
@hannahlouisef If I had to pick one fashion blogger to swap wardrobes with it would be Hannah Louise's. We share a love for sixties styles and I love the way her outfits look so effortlessly cool.
@leithclark One of my biggest inspirations in fashion is Leith Clark. This woman is THE definition of a girl boss! Formally the chief editor of Lula magazine, Leith is now the editor of Violet and style director for Harpers Bazzar. Her Instagram features her latest editorials where she puts together the dreamiest of outfits.
@belleandbunty Fashion blogging duo and bridal fashion designers Alice and Hannah know how to co-ordinate in style! If you're a girly girl like me, you'll love their tendency to shoot in pretty locations wearing either pastel colours or beautiful prints.
