Vertical align second paragraph to the top of image - css

Question

I have the following code. Right now the Title is aligned vertical top of the image. But the description is still wrapping (blocked) below the image and I want it to also be top aligned, right under the title next to the image like the title is, but again below the title.
.vtop
{
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
float: none;
}
.padding-top-bottom-5
{
padding-top: 5px !important;
padding-bottom: 5px !important;
}
.nopadding
{
padding: 0 !important;
}
.inline-block
{
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="col-lg-9 well margin-top-5 padding-top-bottom-5">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12 well nopadding">
<p>
<img src="../../../Images/thumbs/206.jpg" class="vtop" />
<span class="bold inline-block">Title of Something</span>
</p>
<p class="vtop">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce efficitur fermentum velit, faucibus volutpat diam pretium nec. Praesent quis congue mi. Donec a nibh efficitur, mollis purus at, elementum lorem. Praesent tempor pharetra felis, vel consectetur lectus sodales nec. Suspendisse vel molestie dolor, id tincidunt eros. Mauris et turpis rutrum, sollicitudin augue nec, aliquet nisl. Vestibulum mattis ipsum velit, et convallis est mattis porttitor. Morbi sit amet finibus risus, et maximus neque. Mauris fermentum magna et ligula consectetur lobortis.
</p>

Try this
.vtop
{
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
}
.padding-top-bottom-5
{
padding-top: 5px !important;
padding-bottom: 5px !important;
}
.nopadding
{
padding: 0 !important;
}
.inline-block
{
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="col-lg-9 well margin-top-5 padding-top-bottom-5">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12 well nopadding">
<p>
<img src="http://www.lastmiracle.com/wp-content/uploads/10/The-engineering-in-Nature-200x200.jpg" class="vtop" />
<span class="bold inline-block">Title of Something</span>
<br /><br />

It sounds like you're after the CSS concept called the media object. It's designed specifically for the scenario you mention; a layout as follows:
+---------+ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
| |
| | ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~
| | ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
+---------+
You can achieve this with a basic structure:
<div class="media">
<img src="http://placehold.it/50x50" alt="" class="media__img" />
<div class="media__body">
<p>Title of Something.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Ea sed voluptate unde rerum quasi quidem, praesentium odio. Necessitatibus quo, non unde repudiandae adipisci, et corrupti eius ipsa, tempore ex aut. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Ea sed voluptate unde rerum quasi quidem, praesentium odio. Necessitatibus quo, non unde repudiandae adipisci, et corrupti eius ipsa, tempore ex aut.</p>
</div>
</div>
And just a few lines of CSS:
.media { display: block }
.media__img {
float: left;
margin-right: 24px
}
.media__body {
overflow: hidden;
display: block;
}
Here is a working fiddle to demonstrate.

You know there's always so many ways to solve problems. It seems to me it was a bit harder for me to understand what exactly was going on since you left out a lot of css info for the rest of the tags, but as far as I can see I feel like you're doing a lot of work to potentially do something quite simple. Hopefully that's not being to harsh I commend your efforts! I left your tags that aren't referenced in the css so it won't break you're code and you can paste it in easily.
All you need to do is float the image left .floatLeft and then create a div beside it with a margin-left to push the .content div containing the title/paragraph below out from the floated div since floats don't hold "real" space in the content flow of a web site.
