Who inspires you?

November 5, 2015 By Ruthie Ridley 16 Comments

I blog because I have found that in order to fulfill that deep artistic drive within me, I always have to be creating.  Most times I have my ideas for shoots all planned out for the month, just mulling over in my head.   I often grab inspiration from bloggers I follow on a day to day basis as well as just walking around the store and seeing people on the streets.  Today I wanted to share with you 5 bloggers that inspire me the most and keep me dreaming.

  1. Sincerely Jules: Julie is original, her style is effortless and after going strong for over 4 years, she has hit nearly 3 million on her Instagram.  Her instagram feed is always so lush and filled with adventure.  I love how she edits  her photos and stays true to her self. #Effortlesslychic always….
  2. Cara Loren: I just discovered Cara’s blog this year through a friend.  I love how she has incorporated  family life with fashion.  As a blogger she has also ventured out and opened her own shop for women and kids.  It is another expression of who she is and I love that.
  3. Shalice Noel:  Shalice is one of my favorites.  I have been following her since she had a little over 10K followers.  She now has over 100K and has remained true to herself all along.  What I love most about Shalice, is that she is truly like no one else.  She does fashion her way and she does it well.  She has 4 kids and is still killing the game.  Love her.
  4. Happily Grey: Mary has a succinct style that separates her from the rest.  She does ad’s and promotions very well and has remained consistent with her “grey” theme, for as long as I can remember.
  5. Barefoot Blonde: Amber has done such an incredible job branding herself.  She hit one million followers this year and is known for that beautiful braid.  She is a family girl, expecting her second child this month.  I love that her blog is a combination of health, beauty, family and fashion.  Her blog is my favorite to read because of her realness and vulnerability.

All of these girls are incredible and inspire me daily to keep doing my thing, striving for excellence in all I do and to keep dreaming big.  The key theme with them all, is that they look like no one else and have paved a path that is a complete and constant expression of who they are. It is so true when they say there is only one you and the world needs to see it.  Individuality embraced, is so beautiful!! Who inspires you?!

On to this look! Guys, of course, this is all from Target!! With two exceptions! Shoes are from Marshall’s (Vince Camuto) and Sunnies are from my favorite consignment store, Free Style Clothing! It’s very much a boho vibe and I’m loving it! This look is perfect for family photos as we approach the holiday season, weekend brunch and for a Sunday morning at church. I hope you all are having a fabulous week! Thank you for stopping by the blog!! Much love,

Ruthie xo

    Great selection!!! There so many women who inspire me honestly the whole gender inspires me because women are literally the brie of Christ. The most delicate part, yet the strongest. Able to do so much and still carry love for all things. Tender yet willing to fight for the ones they love. God honestly is who inspire me the most because he is the best parent any child could have. After him is just the vast of people I meet, like you that inspire me to continue in my walk and stand on his word. Love him and you!!

    Hugs and Love

    Ruthie I have been searching for you! Your family is beautiful and so are you. You are such an inspiration to me. I’m an aspiring blogger and although I love Barefoot Blonde and Cara Loren, it’s nice to find someone like me! I’m a brown girl in an interracial marriage and new mom to our 5 month old son. Thank you. Thank you! I look forward to getting to know you more!

    There are some interesting points at some point on this page but I do not know if these people center to heart. There is some validity but I most certainly will take hold opinion until I consider it further. Great post , thanks therefore we want a lot more! Included with FeedBurner also

Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD IS GREAT. There are seasons where God takes years and decades to answer prayers (and I’m still waiting for some of those) and then there’s the moments where God answers your prayers hours or a day later. He’s amazing in the suddenly and he’s amazing in the waiting. Thankful for the journey✨Thankful for his faithfulness - thankful that even as I wait - He is still good😌
