Hi frenzies!
The holidays are here (Christmas is on Sunday, what????) and one of my favorite parts of the holidays, besides dressing for all of the fabulous holiday parties and events, is getting to see lots of friends and family. Since I have moved to California, I had to make the trek back to Atlanta and Athens to see my friends! I love traveling so this is not a problem (;
Welcome back to Forge A Frenzy!
So there are a lot of things in life that I love. Coffee, blogging, plane rides, exploring. And these things all have one thing in common. Well, maybe more than one thing. But for the purpose of this post, 1 thing in common. THEY CAN ALL BE DONE IN A COMFY, CUTE SWEATER. Living in SoCal means checking the weather outside before you do anything. And right now, it is super chilly out. Not a “I need a huge puffy jacket to keep me warm” kind of chilly, but a nice comfy and warm sweater. I am listing out my favorite soft and trendy sweaters in this post so you all can be warm and stylin’ as well.
6 COMFY + TRENDY SWEATERS THAT YOU NEED IN YOUR CLOSET
Happy post-Thanksgiving week frenzies!!
I hope you all had a wonderful day/week with the people that you love, celebrating all that  you have to be thankful for.
In the spirit of the holidays that comes with Thanksgiving for my family and I, my brain is now fixed on the people that I want to buy to buy Christmas gifts for! And also for some super sweet deals on items that I have been eyeing for a while…
In order to help with your shoppings lists, for others and just to treat yourself, I thought I would compile a list of my favorite Cyber Monday stops. And also throw in some Black Friday deals that have lasted throughout the weekend.
*Click the capitalized name of each shop for a link to their main website.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If there’s one thing I love more than palm trees and brunch, it’s accessories. Of any kind. I mean seriously. From lipgloss to sunglasses to mini notepads of paper to write a zillion to-do lists on. Anything tiny and cute, I love.
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!
Haaaaaapy Hump Day!
In a serious FRENZY over this to-die for romper from Nordy. The color palette of this romper blends magically into a boho dream. The lace up front adds a hint of scandal to the floral pattern and the bell sleeves add a fun touch to this already romantic look. I have linked this romper from Nordstrom here.
