11 instagram influencers you need to follow

Hey everyone and thank you for visiting SJL 🤎 In today’s post I am going to be sharing 11 of my favorite influencers on Insatgram! I am seriously obsessed with Instagram. I believe it is such a great platform for any and everyone! Whether you’re a business, a creator, or someone who loves to check in on other people… there’s a place for you on Instagram.

I do say this with caution because I know that a lot of people show about 2% of their actual life so I will say is Instagram is not reality. This is something most of us know but easily forget (me included.) With that said, I do love looking through curated aesthetic feeds along with accounts that share valuable content.

Below are my 11 most-loved Instagrammers! I love accounts that can do it all and I believe these gals truly can! Most of these accounts fall under the lifestyle and fashion niche. They are also ‘bigger’ Instagram/Influencers (aka over 100k) and if you all enjoy I will put together a post with exclusively micro-influencers!

Emma Leger @emmaleger

The queen herself starting off the list. Emma is a Vancouver-based fashion influencer. She has an iconic feeds and an amazing eye for all things beautiful. She is also an amazing Youtuber and vlogger!

Emma is such a ~stunning queen~ and someone I highly suggest following. She is going through a single power girl period rn and it’s so encouraging to watch her for you fellow single ladies. Pre-covid, she also had some amazing travel content which I hope is safe to resume this year. Rewatching her travel vids has definitely helped me get out of my travel-ban-blues. Also, if you are a cat lover, her cat Pippa is sure to make you smile.

Her and two other girls (on this list) have a great podcast called “That’s So Sabotage” that makes you feel like you’re in their amazing power squad. Definitely check her out!

Jami Alix @jamialix

Jami Alix is another stunning fashion influencer. She is a more recent follow of mine but I already highly recommend you add her to your list!

She is based in Los Angeles (but has recently been vibing in Chicago.) I love Jami (not just because we share the same name) because she has such high quality content! She is constantly involved with her followers and encourages positivity on the daily. One of my favorite things she has been doing is her daily Insta Story asking for her followers to share their gratitude.

She also has a YouTube channel with vlogs, fashion hauls and more that I also love!

Kristin Johns @kristinjohns

Y’all. I have been a Kristin Johns stan for years now and a creator I have consistently followed. Kristin does it all. She creates fashion, beauty, home, faith content and more. She has a beautiful and airy feed and puts out great Youtube videos. She is also the owner of @kristinmade which sells hair-scarves and other cute products.

One thing I really like about Kristin is how open she is about her faith! Since I am also a Christian, it’s refreshing to see someone pursuing the same values as me! She recently announced she is pregnant which is super exciting and I’m sure we’ll get to watch her journey over the next few months!

Yuyan Shi @itsyuyann

If you’re looking for cute streetwear inspo Yuyan is who you need to follow. She is a New York fashion influencer who made a recent move to LA.

Yuyan is amazing at putting together simple daily outfits but making them look elevated. She puts out the best outfit inspo videos on YouTube, making fashion easy for her followers.

Another thing I love about her is that her outfits all showcase pieces that are super affordable. Her dog Kobe is also a lovely addition to my Insta feed.

Nitsan Raiter @nitsanraiter

Business woman and aesthetic queen are the best way I can sum up Nitsan. I followed her after seeing her on Emma Leger’s feed and Y’ALL I am so grateful!

Nitsan is a Toronto-based fashion influencer. She curates beautiful content and most recently launched her influencer crash-course, Mind Your Business, containing all the secrets of influencing.

Nitsan makes incredibly genuine Youtube videos that have made me want to become best friends with this gal! She truly cares about her followers and it shows through her content.

Sophie Suchan @sophiesuchan

The last member of the Sabotage Squad! (Emma, Sophie, and Nitsan) Sophie is another Vancouver-based fashion influencer. I love her style and personality so much. She has an amazing eye for fashion and home decor!

Sophie is super chill and makes the best side comments that always makes me smile when I watch her content.

She makes vlogs and other beauty/fashion content for her Youtube channel which I definitely recommend watching! My favorite part about her videos is that sis does not hesitate to create longgg videos. I am such a fan of a long YT vid! :))

Sarah Stevenson @sarahs_day

Sarah is another influencer I have been following since my early days of college! I love her positive attitude and her transparency on with her life.

She is an Australian health and wellness guru with amazing tips on how to create a healthy lifestyle.I love her Youtube channel which features vlogs, fitness videos, and more! She is also an Insta stories queen and nearly vlogs on her stories daily!

Sarah recently launched a recipe app, Sunee, which features recipes that are super friendly for many diets!

Lauren Crowe @laurencrowe88

Lauren Crowe is a more recent follow of mine! I love the inspiration I get from her posts and her feed is always on point!

Lauren is a UK based creator with content that focused on fashion and lifestyle.

One thing I love about Lauren is the community she fosters on her Insta stories! It seems like almost daily she is creating discussion on her page about life. I truly love when big influencers show they care and listen to their followers!

Lauren also has a Youtube channel with killer content!

Sazan Hendrix @sazan

I learned about Sazan through Kristin Johns and fell in love with her amazing personality. She is a stunning person and I LOVE seeing her family, fashion, and lifestyle content.

What really drew me to Sazan was her life story and ability to share about her faith so transparently with her followers.

She is an Instagram and Youtube queen based out of Austin and just launched an amazing hair accessories collaboration with Scunci!

Teresa Laura Caruso @teresalaucar

Last but not least is Teresa!! Teresa is an organization queen.

She is another recent follow that I discovered Teresa through Like to Know it. I automatically fell in love with her clean and airy content.

Teresa creates content that features the best organization and product tips. She curates such a beautiful feed and is a must-follow if you want to clean up your life!

Nabela Noor Martin @nabela

Nabela is such a great example of creating a positive space on the internet. She is an entrepreneur to focuses on posting lifestyle, beauty, and homemaking content

I love Nabela for a bunch of different reasons. She is unapologetically herself, dedicated to uplifting others, and puts out beautiful and amazing content. She runs two other amazing accounts @zeba (her clothing brand) and @noorhouse.

You may know her from her famous TikTok series ‘Pockets of Peace.’ I think everyone should follow her to get a daily dose of peace!

That’s all I have for y’all today! I did not realize that nearly all of my favorite influencers are Youtubers as well until writing this. If you enjoyed this make sure to share it or let me know on my Insta! I am most likely going to make another post like this with ‘micro-influencers’, or accounts under 100k.

I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and found one or two new accounts to follow! Until the next post…
