Instagram : Our Favorite Social Media Channel
First, are you following me / us on Instagram? If not, we’d love for you to do so! Follow us here: @carrie.
Undoubtedly, Instagram is my favorite social media channel. Despite all the recent changes (change in algorithm, order in which posts are shows, etc), we continue to love Instagram. Its visual nature lends itself so well to our colorful world of fashion, travel, and more.
And this personal love for Instagram isn’t just lip service. In fact, believe it or not, I was one of the first registered users on Instagram! That’s right… I believe I registered in October 2010, four days after the app was launched. That’s how I was able to score such a short username – @carriec!
How to Determine Your Top Instagram Posts of 2016
Are you like me? I love data and numbers! And I especially love reading these end-of-year round up type articles. Well, if you too like learning random information like this, I have something cool to share with you…
Did you know that it’s super easy to determine your top Instagram posts of 2016? Yep, just visit this website, enter your Instagram username, and the website will automatically generate a grid of nine photos. And, you guessed it, these represent your top 9 most popular photos from Instagram over the past year. They are ordered 1 through 9 from top left down to bottom right.
My Top Instagram Posts of 2016
So, without further ado, let’s take a look at my most popular Instagram posts of 2016…
And, here, I’ll link to each of the individual photos on Instagram, so that you can see them in their entirety. I do tend to post my photos in the vertical 4×5 format option on Instagram. So, these square crops do cut off a bit – including the crucial element of shoes in a few photos! Gasp. 😉

Happy new year, dear Carrie … I am fond of all your looks – not because I like all your clothes -, but because you wear them with so much joy and so much style. But I must admit that I love … your walls too ?
I absolutely love your Instagram! So colorful and fun 🙂
