Sometimes, it’s the weather. Sometimes, it’s the news. Whatever the reasons, sometimes we just need a little color in our feed, to brighten our days. And between kaleidoscopic hairstyles and enviable interior design, these local accounts are always a dash of sunshine.

When I first started dyeing my hair pink, I turned to Brittney Ragland (@girlywiththegreenhair), a stylist specializing in vivids (now at @ironrosesalon). Her feed is a rainbow of dazzling cuts and colors, from yours truly to fun blends of shapes and shading. Her outfit posts are equally stylish.

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone with more impeccable taste than Sara Kate Little (@sarakatelittle). The founder of Pastiche Studios (@pastichestudios) and co-owner of Bradford House (@bradfordhouseokc), her feed is as curated as a fine wine list, showcasing everything from vintage finds and flower deliveries to artwork and furnishings. It’s the mood board that keeps on giving.

If green is your color, Plant People Shop (@plantpeopleshop) is an essential follow, for its lush plants and prickly cacti, for the candle-making and terrarium-building classes, and especially for the shining personality of its owner, Christina Carter.
Mat Miller

I first came across Mat Miller’s (@matmiller) work at an event, years ago, at 1984 Studios (@1984studios). An artist with a penchant for film and installation work, his studios were aglow in mesmerizing projections, transporting me to another dimension. His Instagram feed is just as luminous, and in case you’re wondering, he’s always working on something mesmerizing.

The singular vision of fashion and design queen Amber Foster (@amberwavves), Thrown OKC (@thrownokc) is both a beautifully curated shop in the Wheeler District and an interior design brand bringing spellbinding style to spaces, from a Wild West bathroom to a wine bar that feels like Mykonos.

Even if you don’t yet follow Matt Goad (@mattgoadart), you’re probably already doing so in real life. The artist’s work is unmistakable, and deeply connected to OKC, from the Terrazzo artwork at Will Rogers International Airport to local beer cans.

Vintage treasures abound at The Junk Fairy (@thejunkfairyokc), a longtime fixture at Bad Granny’s Bazaar (@badgranny), where ever-changing inventory ranges from leopard-print coats to bedazzled denim. Her feed is like a shopping spree for the eyes.
Dig It

Elsewhere in the Plaza, Dig It (@digitokc) stocks hand-curated vintage fashion and art, in a punk-rock space that translates colorfully on Insta. It’s a great taste of the kinds of trinkets sold in-store, like tiki mugs and sardine-shaped erasers, as well as an endless array of one-of-a-kind clothes.

Meghan Wallace (@doodlebymeg) has one of the brightest accounts in town, even when her artwork is decrying A.I. or capitalism. Her work encompasses stickers, prints, apparel and more, with an unparalleled style that looks equally retro, whimsical and bold.
