As we greet 2016 with open arms and eager hearts, let’s take some time to reflect on what made 2015 most memorable, in a positive way of course. And because it’s one of our many specialties, let’s focus on the wonderful virtual world of Instagram!
We love our online influencers for their stylishness and originality, but, let’s face it : they’re not always that original. Just for fun, here’s an overview of last year’s most notable Instagram trends.
Our favorite Instagrammers are active and healthy, so they found a way to turn their daily breakfast into little pieces of art. A smoothie bowl can be made of any type of fruit, veggies, granola, yogurt… You name it! But don’t forget to line them up nicely and remember to add the heavier ingredients last.

They come in all shapes and sizes, they’re prickly, funny, pretty, and they fit in any decor. Cacti and succulents are the new craze in interior design, as well as Instagram galleries.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to walk in the shoes of a famous fashion blogger or lifestyle guru? How about seeing the world through their tasteful eyes? In 2015, they tried to make your wish come true! Or maybe they just wanted to show off their new glasses.

Kinfolk is a slow lifestyle magazine for young professionals, creative minds and aesthetes. Its popularity has been growing exponentially since its foundation in 2011 and it now has a major international following. Plus : its minimalist covers look great on flat lay photos!

You may have seen the 2010 movie called Inception (hello Mr. DiCaprio!), in which people have dreams within dreams and can explore the many levels of their consciousness. That’s a pretty interesting concept that easily translates to photography : A photo within a photo makes a great Instagram post!

This last year, everyone seemed to have felt the same need for warm, cozy moments at home. What better way to feel serene and comfortable than sipping on your favorite hot drink while sitting on your own bed on a sunny morning?

2015 was a year in pastel shades. Light pinks, soft yellows and pale lilacs were all over our clothes, homes, gardens, and… Instagram pages. So, since the most beautiful colors are the ones that Mother Nature creates, fresh flowers were the perfect photo accessory.

Eating well is important – and smoothie bowls are a delicious way to do so – but we also deserve a treat from time to time! Everyone on Instagram has enjoyed some tasty looking ice cream cones in the summer, but there’s another sweet snack that suits any season and looks just as lovely : glazed doughnuts!
