Jewelry making is a passion of mine, and I cannot thank you all enough for being supportive as I’m pursuing this little adventure. Many of you have sent me amazing pictures rocking my jewelry, and it truly makes my heart smile knowing that you cherish my pieces as much as I do. Get your stack HERE.

Beautiful friendships were formed, thanks to Instagram. I had the opportunity to meet one of my IG besties, Michelle from GoldDustAndSugarLust and what can I tell you?! She is beautiful, inside and out. So blessed to know her and her adorable family. Check out her blog HERE.

Happy Friday, lovelies! No outfit post today but instead I decided to share some of my favorite Instagram pictures with you! Instagram has really been such an amazing tool that not only allows me to follow some my favorite bloggers but also connect with some of you on a deeper level that led to amazing friendships. This whole blogging experience has been so wonderful and I am truly grateful for all of you! I read all of your comments, and I really do try to respond to all of your comments – even though it can be tough at times. Besides blogging and jewelry making, I also have a full-time corporate job + I am a mother to a beautiful son who will turn 4 this year. Life gets hectic at times but all of you encourage me each day to keep on going! Hence, thank you all for your amazing support! I am so blessed to be surrounded by such beautiful women, YOU (!), who inspire me each and every day!

As always, thanks much for reading and don’t forget to stop by Monday for a new outfit post!

I love you all.

    Lovely photos as always, Vanessa!
    Thanks for sharing about your thoughts and for introducing your friends, I’ll go check out their blogs, too 🙂

    In so many cases, internet nowadays is one of the ways we met new friends in a way we less expect it. And I’m glad you found yours!

    Have a wonderful day!

    You are such an inspiration, Vanessa! I’m so glad that you and I were able to connect via Instagram and hopefully we can one day meet in person, COME TO NEW YORK, hehe! I hope you continue to grow and flourish because it’s people like you who deserve. Someone who’s caring and supportive of others and it’s amazing that I can even say that without even knowing you intimately, that’s how strong it radiates.

    I hope you have an awesome, fun filled weekend with your little angel 🙂

    You are an incredible person, Vanessa! And you have so much depth and layers- behind all of that beauty lies intelligence, grace, compassion, humor and the greatest mommy and wife. And now I know firsthand–friend. So proud of everything you are and so blessed to have you in my life! Xx

    You’re such a beautiful person Vanessa, inside and out! You are an inspiration to many of us bloggers who also agree that it can get hectic at times working full-time and raising a family but it is all worth it to meet wonderful people like YOU, get style and life inspirations and enjoy life to the fullest! Thank you for all you give to us and I hope your weekend is nothing short of amazing! xo

    This post and all the others can show how beautiful you are, dear Vanessa! You have a genuine way of writing and connecting, a sweet smile and who wouldn’t like being your friend! I am so glad that you got to know such a great friend on the blogosphere/Instagram and I love your outfitss and jewelry and now even more, knowing how much you value people, instead of being just someone who values fashion – I say this, because I know some people who would just value fashion and the people are meant to be their audience, nothing else. I am very glad to get to know you, and to know you have a sweet son, and I wish you a great weekend! Kisses!
