Blogging and Instagram has introduced me to a fantastic group of ladies that I otherwise would have never gotten the chance to know. Social media, especially Instagram, can get a bad rap, but if you use it in a healthy way (moderation!!!) it actually does bring like minded people together.
I’ve gathered some of the ladies below that I love to follow. Our lives are all so different, we live in different cities/countries, and in some cases speak different languages. But I love taking a peek into their worlds and sharing some of mine with them.
I’ve organized them into two groups – the ladies who blog. And then the ladies who have some pretty gorgeous Instagrams that I love to oogle. In most cases we have a shared love of the little things and look for ways to live our best lives. So without further ado check them out!
The Bloggers
The Middle Edit
These ladies speak to me. This blog is run by two best friends (Allison & Shannon) navigating adult life with a focus on that crazy and scary decade after you 20s, your 30s!!! They’re so relatable, genuine, and I literally love every one of their blog topics.
My Inner Shakti
I actually know and work with the lady behind this blog (Parita!) She’s a relatable mama sharing the ups and downs of balancing motherhood, a career, and working to live her best life. I’m not a mother yet but hope to be one day and I’m taking notes from how she’s working to balance it all. She also shares some kick ass vegetarian recipes too.
The Petite Bijou
Mariam has almost all the same interests and passions as me. She loves history and is always working to live a classy, elegant life. She’s a timeless lady with an aesthetic that I love to admire from afar.
Julie Kittredge
Julie is actually a local artist in my neighborhood. Her blog focuses on her creativity and many of the beautiful items that she makes by hand. She creates amazing ceramics and décor items that are simple in design, but uniquely made in Julie’s distinct style.
The Instagrammers
@TigerFawn
A page run by Maria from Germany. She and I have a love of the same aesthetic and I love the posts she shares of her delicious picnics, travels throughout Europe, and unique fashion statements.
@theedinburghlife
I’ve been following Joanne for years. She lives in Edinburgh, Scotland and takes time to share small beautiful snippets of her life. She’s relatable but you can tell has an eye for beauty and finds those pretty moments in every day life.
@pamelaloutfi
Run by Pamela whose based in Paris and shares beautiful snaps of one of my favorite cities. She also LOVES to travel. I’m always enjoying the adventures she goes on and indulging in her travel pics.
@juomay
Juliet is one of the kindest people I’ve met on Instagram. She’s always has kind things to say and also makes the most delicious baked goods. She shares snippets of her beautiful life in France.
Give these ladies a follow if you’re looking for some beauty, an escape, and just some simple living.
