In the past year, Instagram has created a shift in fashion blogging that wasn’t seen coming by the fashion obsessed. Despite the sudden loss of positive energy after the purchase by Facebook and change of privacy policy,  Instagram has managed to take photo-sharing to a level that other social media outlets have only strived for. With this popularity in photo-sharing fashion bloggers have managed to rise to impressive heights with their Instagram fame and gain new blog followers in the process.

Instagram not only allows fashion bloggers to share their looks, trends, and lifestyles with the world but also allows for self promotion. Bloggers are able generate more traffic by promoting their blog in their Instagram feed. In doing this, bloggers reach a larger audience while also getting their story across to the readers that are in turn able to visually comprehend what is being posted in their blogs.

Leandre Medine,  @manrepeller, posts 2-4 photos a day while perfectly mixing humor with high fashion. Just as they do in her blog, Man Repeller’s wit and sarcasm flow through every post keeping her followers coming back for me.
