Who to follow on Instagram?

Myself and a couple of friends got talking recently about who we follow on Instagram. We all agreed a balance of friends, celebrities, galleries and shops are a good choice. But who's the best? It depends on your tastes, obviously, but here's my pick:

Tate Gallery, art gallery in London, Liverpool and St Ives - tategallery 

Follow the Tate for behind the scenes views of artists preparing their wares and exclusive peeks of upcoming exhibitions.

Time Out London, city guide - timeoutlondon

This feed includes random Londonisms from both the Time Out team and, if you use the hashtag #timeoutlondon they will share your snaps too.

Alexa Chung, model and presenter - chungalexa

From holiday envy (I get this from a lot of the celebs on Instagram) to clothes envy to megaLOLz, Alexa's pics are little pick me ups.

Rihanna, singer - badgalriri

When I saw what her name was I was inclined not to follow to be honest... but you have to hand it to her, Riri knows how to get attention from this little app - see one of her recent pics as a prime (rump) example...

Dawn O'Porter, journalist and writer - hotpatooties

Previously Dawn Porter before adding the O in honor of her recent marriage to Irish actor Chris O'Dowd, Dawn already has a huge twitter presence, with some 250,000 followers. She's also just written a book, Paper Aeroplanes. 

Topshop, shop - Topshop

This British institution posts new items, store openings, fashion week catwalks and food. What's not to love?

Lena Dunham, writer and actress - lenadunham

The creator of cult TV show Girls -- which, if you haven't seen is a must watch -- posts a lot of pictures of her dog. But in my book this warrants no complaints. She's funny and intelligent to boot.

Liz Matthews, PR - lizmatth

Former journalist Liz Matthews owns LMPR, which boasts a client list including Rosie Huntingdon-Whitely, Alexa Chung, Laura Bailey, Daisy Lowe, Katie Hiller and Amanda de Cadenet. Pics are of these beauties - plus Liz's adorable twins.

Zooey Deschanel, actress, writer, singer - zooeydeschanel

The lady with arguably the best fringe in the business is the star of US sitcom New Girl and has a pretty impressive music back catalogue. Her pics are of co-stars and glam goings on.
