Hi friends! Thank you so much for taking the time to read about one of our favorite bloggers, Jonay Simon. As a brand that prides itself on quality, creativity, and a love for boho-inspired fashion, seeing Jonay’s feed is SUCH a bright spot in our day.
She describes her style as “cute, comfortable, edgy fashion that works in my everyday life. My style is boho chic mixed with fun, beach fashion. My go to outfit is a two-piece set or jumpsuit. I love outfits that can be dressed up or down and worn on a fun date night or a relaxing wine night with the girls.” What’s not to love, amirite?!
Jonay has a servant heart, a kind soul, and a passion for great content, often paired with sweet reminders of the more important things in life (which is such a gem on social media!). Through her blog, she says: “I hope to portray encouragement and inspiration for women to have confidence in how they look through style and who they are as a person. I hope to show love and passion, all while sharing my looks and content. Sharing my love for beach styled clothing and boho fashion is what is I hope to portray for my followers.”
Let’s dive a little more into what makes her unique. Jonay Simon is from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and still lives there today. She loves the beach (and looking fashionable on it!) and enjoys spending her summers at the ocean or paddle boarding on the river. Besides the beach, Jonay also finds joy in fitness and fashion, and incorporates those passions into her feed as well. She got into blogging gradually. She says that “I’ve always loved fashion and having my own style. Making a statement and feeling confident in my clothes has always been a highlight of each day for me. I got into blogging by gradually posting my outfits on Instagram and realized how much I loved sharing my outfit ideas and my style with others. I have always followed many other fashion bloggers that have inspired me as well.” On top of Her life as a blogger, Jonay is also a teacher! She teaches 7th grade math (props to ya, girl!), and enjoys teaching because it helps her to “build relationships with [the students] to make a positive impact in their lives.”
When we asked her what inspires her, the simplicity of what she said was absolutely beautiful! Jonay is inspired simply by the gift of life, stating that : “I have one life to chase my dreams and make an impact on the world and I never want to take a single day for granted. God gives me a passion to promote positivity and love and that inspires me to spread it through outlets that I am also passionate for like fashion.” Isn’t that beautiful?! We can honestly vouch that we feel like better people simply from reading her captions and seeing her bright smile on instagram! On top of that, she always looks adorable.
Jonay’s favorite quote is:
“The bad news is time flies, The good news is you’re the pilot” – Michael Altshuler
