The Feel-Good Instagram Accounts Our Team Loves to Follow

May we offer some cheery respite for anyone self-isolating at home?

With bad news coming at us from seemingly every direction, even a social media scroll session can be fraught with tension and anxiety. In an effort to spread some positive vibes—and offer some cheery respite for those self-isolating at home—we rounded up the feel-good accounts our team loves to follow.

@_nitch

“Every day this account posts a captivating black and white photo of a public figure (Georgia O’Keefe, Le Corbusier, Edward Gorey, Amy Winehouse…) and a really interesting quote of theirs. I find it always catches my attention and gives me something to think about throughout the day and beyond.” —Odessa Paloma Parker, Fashion News Director

@sarahdelislemacdonald

“A stylish socialite with a menagerie of farm animals at her country home. Her self-description as an accidental scatologist and troublesome wife pretty much sums it up.” — Bernadette Morra, Editor in Chief

@maryamkeyhani

“Milliner and artist Maryam Keyhani shares snippets from her pastel-hued life that often looks like a window into Alice in Wonderland. Her beautiful artwork, fashion and seriously adorable kids make her feed smile-inducing. —Eliza Grossman, Fashion Editor

#Samoyed, #GoldenRetriever, #BorderCollie

“These aren’t specific accounts but I follow certain dog hashtags to brighten up my feed. #Samoyed, #GoldenRetriever and #BorderCollie guarantee my feed is peppered with adorable dog videos and photos in amongst all of the global panic. And honestly there’s no pick-me-up quite like a video of a puppy inquisitively tilting its head from side to side.” —Maddison Glendinning, Digital Director

@lauragulshani

“A Toronto painter currently living in Paris, her fashion and floral paintings are full of colour and joy.” — Bernadette Morra, Editor in Chief

@boobie_billie

“If I’m ever reincarnated as a dog, catch me going out for lunch with @boobie_billie and our pup-size Chanel bags. You don’t often find a dog more fashionable than you, so I’m literally both fascinated and hysterical every time she drops a post. It’s the perfect thing to brighten up any moment.” —Sarah Mariotti, Editorial Assistant

@tefaf

“The European Fine Art Fair posts art, objets and jewellery, all of which come with a little lesson on history or craft.” — Bernadette Morra, Editor in Chief

@wat.ki

“Scientists need to do some sort of study around the effects this account can have on people’s serotonin levels because every time I stumble across an image of this family of dogs it feels like swallowing a ray of sunshine.” —Pahull Bains, Culture & Lifestyle Editor
