Hello Loves,
While racking my brain of what to write for this post, I asked myself… what inspires me? Well that’s easy… other bloggers. I have always been inspired by them, I wouldn’t have started this platform if it wasn’t for their inspiration.
A lot of people think blogging is easy, just a quick meaningless paycheck. I’m not going to lie… I think at one point I thought this to be true too. It really isn’t though, as I have come to realize, blogging is 24/7… with no time off, even during holidays (in fact when your on holiday your working overtime!). It is however incredibly rewarding.
I am just in awe of some of the people that I have followed for numerous years. Watching their growth, their dedication and their passion has been truly wonderful. I just wanted to take this posting to highlight, just a couple, of these exceptional kick ass boss ladies
- Justine Iaboni, of JETSETJUSTINE
I was inspired by Justine after I met her a couple of years back at Toronto Fashion Week. Of course I was blown away by her exceptional style, but was also moved by her warmth and goofy kindness.
- Siffat Haider, of ICINGANDGLITTER
I believe I also met Siffat during fashion week, and boy did we hit it off. She is now the first person I text before I attend an event… I need to make sure my girl will be there!
- Roxanne West, of BONJOURBLISSBLOG
I have been an avid follower of this mummy blogger for numerous years, I didn’t know how she did it! She is truly a magician, juggling two little’uns and a full time blogging career. We are now good friends and even spent a weekend away together at the Shangri-La Toronto, olala!
- Justine Vorgére, of JUSTINEVRGR
I probably wouldn’t be blogging if it wasn’t for this girl. I met Justine via Instagram, of all places… she was temporary living down the street from me as an au pair from France. She had already started her blog and helped push mine by being my first ever street style photographer. Although she has moved back to Paris and no longer lives down the street, she still holds a great inspiration for me.
- Jalisa Giron, of THESTYLECONTOUR
Although we have never met, Jalisa is a stylish, and the most kind hearted blogger I have ever come across. She always takes the time to read each and every post from top to bottom before commenting. Her articles and comments always have a way of warming her readers hearts. She has made me realize that blogging can be a fun and friendly place… not everyone is rude. Haha.

It’s so good of you to honour some of the bloggers that inspire you for starting a blog at the first place so that we fellow bloggers can also get some inspiration from them (and you of course)! I would say I am probably inspired by @shinebythree the most but as soon as I start visiting more blogs and I realise there are so many talents in the community! (And if you don’t mind, I would be extremely happy for you to check out my site as well!)
Btw, the top the dress and the bomber are also from H&M?! What a surprise! I devo need to check it out more thoroughly for the fall closet!

I’m always inspired by other bloggers so I’m definitely going to check these blogs out! You’re right, blogging is hard work. It’s not just writing a post and putting it online – there’s photos to take/edit, you have to think about the quality of the post, the timing and of course there’s all the promotion for the post to do as well! It’s not as easy as people think xx

I know exactely what you mean… a lot of people -or almost everyone thinks blogging is so easy and you need so little time for this because you just take one picture and that’s it. But it’s not, haha, always find this so funny when I hear people saying this. It’s more than just a hobby, it’s almost like a fulltime job! And yes esp when you are on holiday! 🙂
I love reading your post…. and I love the bloggers you listed too, esp Justine! Such an inspiration! 🙂
Have a nice day!

Many people think that conducting a blog is easy. They think it’s “convenient”. I work and I also manage my blog. It is not easy at all. It takes commitment, perseverance and dedication
It is very nice to have inspiration from others. I think it’s this that’s for blogging!! Have a nice day, kisses (and thank you for your visit),
