Do you guys even remember the days before Instagram? I mean, of course you do — but really, where would we fashion bloggers be without it now?<\/p>\n
Despite some perceived hiccups like being purchase by Facebook and changing their privacy policy and terms of service, Instagram has continued to be a mobile photo-sharing juggernaut in a way that no other app has been able to touch.<\/p>\n
While celebrities like Kim Kardashian may have the lock on extreme<\/em> numbers of followers (she's got over 5 million), some fashion bloggers have reached wildly impressive amounts of followers as well, numbers that far exceed their Twitter or Facebook counts.<\/p>\n So what's the secret to Instagram fame? <\/strong>For our favorite fashion bloggers, the exact formula varies, but always seems to have these elements: good captions, sharp detail or still-life photos and lots of outfits. Let's take a closer look.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aimee Song, @SongofStyle<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Aimee has some kind of magical Instagram power. Almost every photo she posts makes it to the “popular” page, and her photos garner as many as 36,000 likes and hundreds and hundreds of comments. The validity of each and every engagement certainly may not be authentic, but the numbers are still incredibly impressive.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jessica Stein, @tuulavintage<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n I think it would be hard not<\/em> to like this beautiful and blonde Aussie blogger's feed. She appears to spend most of her time bouncing from tropical beach to Australian sunset to Europe and back again constantly. She has a feminine sense of style and a very photogenic face – which doesnt hurt at all.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nicole Warne, @garypeppergirl<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n If there's one Instagram account I could get inside and live forever, it would be Nicole's. She travels the world and creates photo shoots for her blog with her photographer boyfriend, and her images are rarely not totally stunning. From outfits to amazing vistas, sunsets and locations – her consistency in flawless and lovely images is admirable. Her photos get as many as 30,000 likes, and frequently appear on the “popular” page.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Leandra Medine, @manrepeller<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Leandra's Instagram feed follows a similar formula to her blog: it's mostly about fashion, with no shortage of humorous moments, famous friends and runway coverage during NYFW. She gets her fair share of spam comments as many of the top Instagrammers do, but it's clear that many of her followers really love her point of view.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Julie Sarinana, @sincerelyjules<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n When I think of California cool style, I immediately think of Julie's boho-meets-fem-rock-and-roll style. With a playful mix of hair-centric selfies, outfit photos and lots of envy-inducing brunch spreads, it's easy to see why her feed is so popular.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jamie Beck, @_frommetoyou<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n We shouldn't be surprised that Jamie is so beloved on Instagram, she's a professional photographer after all. Her feed chronicles her work on photo sets and her frequent travels, glamour shots of New York City and her own beauty and style, which has a feminine, Old Hollywood flare.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So where does that leave the rest of us, who aren't professional photographers, don't frequently travel to exotic locations or happen to have the Internet's most beautiful hair? All is not lost! You don't need a tropical vacation, model-esque good looks or even a DSLR (which is kind of cheating, anyway don't you think?).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. Post frequently!<\/strong> These bloggers are all posting at least twice a day, if not five times a day. Consistency like this keeps your followers engaged.<\/p>\n 2. Pay attention to your captions – they make a difference.<\/strong> (We've got tips right this way<\/a>.) Mention brands, use appropriate hashtags and add humor or emotion whenever you can!<\/p>\n 3. See the beauty in wherever you are.<\/strong> Keep your creative eye on your surroundings, look for history, color, nature, and character all around you. Get creative – there are gorgeous locations from Cleveland to Canada, the biggest cities to the smallest towns.<\/p>\n 4. Showcase your style.<\/strong> Instagram users love<\/em> to see your fashion, so embrace the #OOTD hashtag and share your personal style with your followers all the time. Try different angles, have a friend snap a quick picture for you, and embrace fancy mirrors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [Image credits:<\/strong> songofstyle<\/a>; Garypeppergirl<\/a>; tuulavintage<\/a>; sincerelyjules<\/a>; manrepeller;\u00a0 _frommetoyou]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you guys even remember the days before Instagram?
