Ah…Instagram. Not just a place to shamelessly share photos of our weekend brunch and #selfies, it’s also a go-to spot for our daily dose of inspiration – whether it’s the perfect #OOTD, the next spot on our travel bucket list, or finally achieving that killer bod (hey, a girl can dream). That’s why we’ve made it our mission to trawl through this virtual treasure trove for the best and most Instaworthy accounts that’ll inspire you each month. #Yourewelcome.

All hail the princess of confetti! A crafty blogger and ‘DIY-er since birth’, Kelly Mindell sure knows how to curate one helluva Instagram with fun, fabulous, and absolutely quirky DIY projects that’ll make you want to get out your glue guns and start crafting immediately – emoji-themed gift wrapping and French fries Christmas tree baubles, anyone? We don’t know about you, but we’re feeling inspired already.

Ladies, meet your new favourite guilty pleasure. It’s exactly what it sounds like: an Instagram account solely dedicated to the delicious combination of hot men and cute kitties. After all, who can resist the beautiful sight of attractive (and sometimes, barely-clothed) hunks cuddling up to their fluffy, four-legged feline friends? Oh be still, our quivering ovaries.
Psst…prefer puppies? Here’s some Instagram eye candy for you, too – proving that dogs are indeed a man’s best friend.

Nguan’s Instagram feed in three simple words? Pastel-hued perfection. We love an artist with a killer aesthetic, and this homegrown photographer has it in spades – think dreamy and ethereal photos with underlying grit. Besides chalking up an impressive portfolio and following on Instagram, the talented shutterbug also has two photography books – Shibuya and How Loneliness Goes – under his belt

What’s the most dangerous thing you’ve done in the name of Instagram? For Humza Deas, climbing skyscrapers and crawling through subway tunnels are all in a day’s work. The teenage city explorer from Brooklyn, New York, is a fearless member of the ‘outlaw Instagrammer’ movement, risking life and limb for jaw-dropping and beautifully gritty shots of the urban landscape. Needless to say, his Instagram feed should come with the warning, “Don’t try this at home”.
