Happy Tuesday, beauties!

Nostalgia for Atlanta and the majority of my heart that is still there is hitting me in full force.

The weekend before I left, some friends and I visited a super cool place called the Atlanta Prison Farm and it was an adventure for sure. The prison was previously fully functioning during the early 1900’s and has since then been sitting in Atlanta gathering graffiti and urban visitors. In October 2009 the roof caught on fire and left a good portion of the decaying building burnt crisp.

California Dreaming

Hello from California, frenzies!

I am so excited to be able to get back into my blogging routine and return to some semblance of normalcy in my daily life. Moving takes a lot out of ya. While I am compiling my post recapping and outlining my journey across the USA, I thought I would share a few fun photos from my time here so far. We currently live in Newport Beach, which is southwest-ish of LA for those of you who aren’t familiar with Southern California. It’s beautiful and welcoming and dreamy.

Bomber Jackets + Camo

Welcome back and welcome to fall, frenzies!

I’m gonna go ahead and say that if you told me I would be wearing a camo dress 6 months ago I would have laughed in your face. I HATED CAMO. Still not a huge fan of most of it but this subtle yet bold dress really stood out to me when I picked it up. Camo is making its way back into the fashion scene and instead of resisting it I decided to embrace it. I also wanted to do a post that highlighted my staples for fall: Olive, bomber jackets, and booties. This outfit incorporates all 3. Fall is the perfect season to combine different pieces and I love the idea of this fall jacket with a more warmer style dress. And camo is back, people.

Let’s start with the shoe of dreams.

Pastel Maxi in Athens

screen-shot-2016-09-25-at-11-24-17-pm

Soooooo it turns out that running a blog while having a full-time job AND packing up your childhood house to move across the country is not the easiest task. I have so many wonderful ideas and outfits, but making everything happen is just a whole heck of a lot. There will be much  more excitement to come as I begin to finish up deciding what memories to keep and begin traveling across the country, making many stops along the way!

Recapping on my wonderful trip to Athens with my bestie in this perfectly colored maxi! We took a day trip to my perfect college town and hit all of my favorite boutiques, ate yummy food, and got to see some friends that I haven’t seen since I graduated. It was a super fun, relaxing, and productive day.

Festival Season Inspiration

Hi beauties!

I am writing to you from my back porch where I am watching leaves fall and the weather is perfect and it’s really like a Nicholas Sparks movie out here. I love fall and I am soaking up as much Georgia autumn as I possibly can.

So, Music Midtown is this weekend and I am SO EXCITED. A group of my friends and I rented a hotel room near the park and we have all of these super great plans and I can’t wait for you all to follow along via snapchat!!!! (@MadisonCrowley) It’s going to be a weekend to remember, that’s for sure. And 1/2 of the fun of Music Midtown is figuring out what to wear! There are so many outfits needed… both days at the park, outfits for going out, outfits for lounging in… so many ideas running through my mind. As I was planning a little while back for what I was going to wear, this was one of my first outfit ideas! I have added more to it and changed a few things for the final look for this weekend but here is the simplified, early stages of one of my Music Midtown outfits!

Autumn Boho Mini

Welcome back lovely frenzies!!!

It’s been craziness and moving and packing and cleaning over here at the Crowley residence. Oh and throw in a full time job which pretty much leaves 0 time for doing the things I love aka writing up this lovely post. I have lots and lots of beautiful pieces to photograph and post and share with the world and I am working on creating around real life. Work life balance, ya know? Well, I am currently sitting, PSL in hand, dreaming of the fall breeze and crossing my fingers that we will be in Georgia long enough to watch the leaves change.

Anyways, back to fashion.

Hiiiii blogger beauties!

The launch of Forge A Frenzy has been incredible and I am so grateful for all of the support. You guys rock.

So generally I would classify my style as boho and athleisure with some occasional street style. However, this look is pretty preppy and I’m totally okay with it. While the ‘no white after Labor Day’ mantra has been mostly overruled, it still feels wrong somewhere inside so I am trying to wear all the white I can before this weekend! I have been such a huge fan of off the shoulder tops but wasn’t really sure if I could find one that would actually work and that I would fall in love with, and then I found this one! I’m super picky so when I find pieces I love, I just have to have them. I bought this top from Dress Up, which is a boutique that has been popping up all over Atlanta. I have linked this top here. I am genuinely obsessed with it!!!! It fits SO well and it makes me feel great.

Welcome back to Forge A Frenzy,

I was out shopping with my bestie for beautiful pieces that caught my eye and WOW this one stood out. I had seen this piece on a few websites and I had been on the hunt for it and I finally found it! This outfit is perfect for a dressy night out with your significant other or a girls night. As we are preparing to move, there are so many different situations that I have in my mind as I shop and it’s kind of exciting.

Hi frenzies, welcome back!

Today I am featuring my smokin’ hot blogger bestie who also happens to be a Mom of a two year old and let me just tell you, she defines MILF. We made plans to head out around town and hit all of the little shops near where we live just outside of Atlanta because my days here are slowly dwindling and I have lots of places to cherish while I still have time here.
