Little White Dress_Crochet Dress_What Would V Wear_Chicwish_Summer 2016

Blogging has been a very exciting journey for me. It all started as a hobby. Two years ago, I desperately needed an creative outlet. I was married, with a two-year-old at home, and working full-time in the financial services sector in Chicago. Fashion has always come natural to me so, I decided to start a fashion and lifestyle blog. Little did I know what impact I would have, though. Within three weeks into blogging I was featured on New York Magazine “The Cut“, and I thought: “OK, I need to continue — this is beyond exciting!” And so I did.

However, my biggest “blogging” blessing has been to connect with all of you! I’ve met some of the most amazing women on here which I am incredibly grateful for. You all inspire me so much, and I’m hoping that my story inspires you too. Read my full interview with Hayley Phelan for Racked.com HERE.

As always, thanks so much for reading & have a fabulous Memorial Weekend!

    Vanessa, I’ve told you this many times, but you are seriously an inspiration. Your story and interview is so encouraging in more ways than you may ever know! It really is a prime example that if you have a passion, a true passion and are not doing something just for fame and money, you can truly be successful in doing what you genuinely love. Not only are you talented in styling, but you have a heart of gold and I do believe that those who have such a heart will always attract success and positivity. I also want to congratulate you on being featured on one of the BIGGEST online publications, Who What Wear! That is such a BIG deal and the acknowledgment is well deserved! As for your outfit, I LOVE this dress! It’s so elegant and versatile, it can be worn to so many different spring/summer occasions! I love how you paired it with that fab RM purse, too! Thanks so much for sharing, gorgeous, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!
