20 Brands/Designers You Don't Follow Yet (and Should)
Let's get them to 10k and beyooooooooooooooooo (etc.)
Heeeeeey. We need to talk. I looked through your Instagram following list (yes, yours) and noticed…a problem. There are several IG accounts with sub-10k followers (besides, haha, mine!) that you don’t follow, belonging to brilliant brands and devious designers that you seem to be unaware of as of yet. That all changes right here, right now.
I really need to make the first June post for you, darling patrons, bear with me, but I didn’t want to paywall these gems, because a) the below sellers deserve your patronage and b) you, the patron, deserve the below brands. Call me a yenta, because I’m sanctifying this match. From panniere-d skirts to clogs that leave skid marks (not the gross kind) and beyond, I hope you enjoy the bounty I have harvested and now humbly present to you below. If you can’t afford a cop just yet, give these IG accounts (linked in titles!) a hearty follow and tell em’ HR sent you!
If you like these posts, please let me know by liking and commenting here or on HR’s Instagram, subbing to the HR Substack (this) for as little as two bucks a month, one dollar per bonus post (subsidized subs available HERE) or for ZERO DOLLARS, share (tag me if on IG so I can see and thank you)!
Thank you SO MUCH for your support, whatever you are able and willing to do to help is extremely valuable to me and I’m honored to be a small part of your life on the web.
