What does happiness mean to you?! After all, this is what we all strive after, am I right? Truthfully I don’t think I really knew what love and happiness was really about until I became a mother, to my now 3 year old son. Blogging, to a certain extent brings happiness as well, but it scares me at times too. As you continue to grow, the more and more people know about you – even if it is just your brand/blog persona. I’m still getting used to it and learn as I go, and I truly hope you will grow with me. Because after all, YOU are the reason that motivates me to keep on going. Your comments and support mean the world to me, and yes, they add a good amount of happiness to my life, so thank you for that.

“Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won’t have to hunt for happiness.”

William E. Gladstone

As always, thanks much for reading & have a wonderful weekend!

Much love.

    Your words are so touching Vanessa. Happiness (for me anyway) comes from so many factors– being happy with myself, gratitude, acceptance, and for sure, my family. Being a mother just produces this big well of emotions that were never there before. A mother’s love for her child is terrifying at times because it’s so vast, right? I am so thrilled for your happiness and every beautiful thing that happens in your life. I will always be cheering you on every step of the way! PS- I love your jeans and this whole look on you- it’s fabulous! Xxoo Michelle

    I agree with you, as I see friends with kids, that nothing equals the love of a mother! I have two brothers, and I can only relate to that, how much I love and do to my lovely brothers! Also, blogging and knowing so nice people, it’s really so amazing, you are right! I am very glad I get to know you better through the blog, cause you are an amazing soul and also very beautiful and elegant – this cuff is amazing, the flare jeans too, and the hat and the top are also lovely! Always so beautiful, dear V., the happiness quote is really so true!

    Darling you look FABULOUS!
    I can’t believe it, I just went to the Nordstrom Rack and tried on a pair of jeans from 7 For All Mankind that looks just like yours -same high waist, same flared ankles….I decided against them because I thought they weren’t a versatile piece. NOW I regret not buying them 😀
    Have a lovely day!

    Blogging can be totally scary sometimes! People get all this ideas about us that are often not true and we as bloggers are not quite sure what to do, just ignore them or try to explain or….blogging can be hard. Nevertheless, it is also a great opportunity to meet amazing people.

    you look absolutely stunning!!!!!!! I do love those high waisted jeans! brilliant styling!

    Ok can we just take a moment and talk about those jeans and how amazing your bod is!! And that necklace is pretty stunning too.
    It’s interesting that you ask that question about happiness, it’s something thats been on my mind a lot lately..maybe it’s because I’m getting older!lol But I think happiness comes from being around the people you love and always putting energy into the things that bring you happiness. I hope you continue to share with us, as I love getting to know you! And you inspire me 🙂
