My favorite Instagram accounts (right now)
Instagram is so lovely. It’s like an escape into a beautiful world full of picture perfect mountains reflected in lakes, clean houses, perfect landscapes, and happy children. Two years ago, while living in London, my friend Bethie Hungerford (from the fabulous Hungermama blog and beautiful Instagram) and I met up in Dulwich for a playdate. She told me about Instagram. I had never heard of it before. Gasp! She said she used it as a way to find people nearby to connect with and organize meet ups. Amazing! I downloaded the Instagram app that night and have been hooked ever since. Thanks Bethie! I absolutely love looking at all pictures of world travels, coffee, and of course, food.
When we were planning our move from London to Zürich I took to Instagram just as Bethie said, to figure out where my people were and get a social circle started. I met the loveliest ladies @itzmezazie, @swisslark, @lamercurio and @thelifeofe. We meet up for wonderful coffee mornings full of fun chatting and laughter. I am so thankful for this wonderful space and the people I have met and have yet to officially meet. So here is my list of favorite Instagrammers that I almost drool when I look at their beautiful images each day.
- Anddicted– Andrea is my absolute favorite Instagrammer right now. The most dreamy, quiet, and perfect pictures of Milan. Seriously, the way Andrea drinks coffee in the morning is purely magical. Does that sound crazy? You know, if you’re into that. We are headed to Milan this weekend and Andrea and Francesco kindly sent me a few of their favorite breakfast spots and I’m way too excited to get there and try them!
- Seashells_Shesells– I first found Oksana’s beautiful Instagram feed when she was showing pictures of South Africa. I completely fell in love with her dreamy captures of one of my favorite places. And now we are both living in Zürich and bump into each other at different places around town.
- Eat Little Bird- Zürich is such a small little world. I met Thanh through another friend of mine. And now I seem to bump into her everywhere. She has the most beautifully curated Instagram and her blog is so incredibly gorgeous. I need to pick her brain about how she’s able to have such a gorgeous and absolutely stunning blog.
- Courtney Adamo- Courtney, Bethie and I grew up in the tiny farm town of Mount Vernon, Washington in the USA. For a moment in time we were all living in London. Courtney and her four children are living the most idyllic, beautiful round the world journey of a gap year. I’m secretly hoping that she gets to extend her journey a bit longer.
- Travel Babbo– My friend Eric and I have traveled to Europe twice in our past lives before children. Now, he has three children, a fabulous wife, and travels the world for a living. Not bad! His blog is full of amazing adventures in family travel. He just got home from a family safari in Africa that looked completely and gorgeously indulgent. We were so lucky to meet up with the family for a moment in Zürich the other morning.
- siobhaise– Gorgeous, dreamy pictures of London that make me feel like I am there, on a quiet street, with a tiny cute car, bike or perfect London door. Absolutely beautiful.
- Frambois Jam- Francesco is based in Milan with absolutely stunning pictures of the city. He was kind enough to suggest some delicious looking breakfast spots for us to try in Milan this weekend.
- carolinavd– Carolina is a sweet young thing from Finland who we were lucky enough to brunch with at Maison Blunt the other day. We seem to have the same search for Zürich’s best coffee going on. I love watching her wanderings through her new city of Zürich.
- My Kugelhopf– I was lucky enough to meet Kerrin once so far, but I’m still holding out for an official Kerrin led chocolate tour in Zürich. Kerrin and I bumped into each other at the Burkliplatz farmer’s market once and I love keeping up with her on Instagram. She organizes chocolate tours in Zürich. She has helped me many times by suggesting fabulous places I should try when I’m out and about. Here’s a link to Kerrin’s tours.
- angry baker– Mendy is a hilarious American living in London. Her daily musings make me laugh and miss London at the same time. Oh, and her pictures are completely gorgeous.
- What Alex Loves- Alexandra is a Swiss photographer living in London taking the most beautiful pictures all around the world. Completely wanderlust inspiring.
- Nicole Hunziker- Nicole posts the most gorgeous photos of Switzerland’s finest landscapes.
- KitKat_ch– Martina has the cutest pictures of Switzerland with a cute car perfectly placed in every picture.
- Hungermama– Bethie, is the reason I got on to Instagram in the first place! She has the most infectious smile and laugh. Her Instagram is full of beautiful family pictures, her love of cooking, as well as her gorgeous London neighborhood. She has a wonderful new blog where she shares her meals for the week and meals from friends. I’m hoping to run into Bethie this summer for some Mexican food or an ice cream on our home turf.
