Instagram is a free app, great for visual learners, procrastinators and people wanting a few moments break from their lives. Here is a list of Instagram accounts that we at Her Campus Nottingham love; even if you’re not into the #instafood craze, there should be some others on this list for you to start following if you’re not already.

Guilty pleasures

Weird but funny
