5 Calgary Instagram Accounts That Will Brighten Up Your Feed

The rise of Instagram has given us the Instagram model, a new way for brands to promote themselves, and more importantly, a way for everyone to share their life in pictures with people all across the world. Never has it been easier to see what people living in different cities are up to and to find inspiration and beauty in their photos. That being said, there is also an abundance of social media savvy Calgarians out there whose feeds will make you amazed at the amount of beauty — right in our city. Read on to find just five of the many terrific accounts that use the #yyc hashtag.

 

@Coutukitsch

Calgary is home to many unique and interesting small businesses, and jewelry makers CoutuKitsch is no exception. Business partners and husband-and-wife duo Dorian Kitsch and Kofi Oteng came together in 2010 to start this hobby-turned-business. You may have seen their booths at local festivals and pop-ups, but now, they are stationed at The Livery Shop in Inglewood, where you can check out products from other Albertan businesses and explore CoutuKitsch’s wide selection of rings, earrings, hair accessories, and necklaces. A company that has seen so much local success would not be complete without a bomb Instagram feed to accompany it, and CoutuKitsch’s Instagram showcases their jewelry on Calgarians, as well as provides aesthetic-fodder to make your feed look that much better.

 

@Lifesetsail

Calgary-based Blogger Brittany started her blog lifesetsail.com in 2012 as part of a class she was taking in university, but it soon transformed into a place where she shares her thoughts and experiences in life. An avid traveler and seeker-of-beauty, her Instagram feed is filled with pictures of her journeys, giveaway opportunities, and gorgeous lifestyle inspo that will surely get you noticing the beauty all around you.
