my inspiration

For years I've wanted to start a blog. Not knowing really where to begin, what content I wanted to create, and being uncertain if I had the time to commit, it has taken me a few years to finally decide to go for it. I read TONS and TONS of blogs, all of which are really inspiring to me. I find it so amazing that people can create a brand for themselves, learn the ins and outs of marketing themselves and their brand (read: growth hacker marketing), and actually make a profit from their blogs. All of that is eons away for me (if at all), but that is my ultimate end result. I know that it will take a lot of time and effort on my part, but I really do feel like this is my passion and that I have the determination to make something happen.

I'm still working on my blog plan (content, design, social media strategy, gaining a following, etc.) so thanks for bearing with me as I start to develop this blog.

I wanted to link to a few of my favorite bloggers who have really inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and take on this challenge. Thanks for all of your wonderful content and for being an inspiration. 

Poor Little It Girl - DC based fashion, beauty, and travel blogger who is oh so fun to follow on instagram. Her outfits and styles are usually very affordable and she's great at putting pieces together that you might not think would work.

Sequins & Stripes - Chicago based blogger who has impeccable taste. She is a new mom and might have the cutest family I've ever seen.

My Style Vita - Atlanta based blogger who has tons of great content ranging from interior decorating, wellness, food, and fashion.

Cupcakes & Cashmere - The first blog that got me hooked 7 years ago. She is perfection.
