The Instagram app is perfectly suited for capturing style in the world around us. Fashion bloggers in New York City inspire thousands, or even millions, of followers by showing their audiences their unique style through the popular social media app. Aspiring fashionistas can look to these trendsetters’ Instagram pages to gain ideas for their own style.  Here are the top five New York City-based fashionable Instagrams to follow — including a few NYU students — to gain fashion inspiration.

LS sophomore Kelsey Nguyen started her blog “Runway in LA” in 2009 and since then has grown a loyal following to her bicoastal-inspired style.

@cremedelachic – Kelly Han

Another bicoastal blogger, Gallatin sophomore Kelly Han’s style is feminine and colorful.
