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.

Healthy + Hearty Dinner

by Madison

Hiiiiii friends!

I am always searching for something filling, healthy, yummy, cheap, and quick. This meal falls into all of those categories! I also struggle with my immense love for cheese and being lactose intolerant. You gotta work around the dairy. Since feta is goat cheese, my stomach is happy! You can add whatever your favorite sides are and whatever spices and garnishes you fancy to this yummy entree.

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!

Adulting: The latest craze to hit the millennial generation.

Adulting.

The latest craze to hit the millennial generation.

Alright people, we’re about to get a little bit more serious here on Forge A Frenzy. While the majority of my brain is creativity and visuals and ideas, right now I’m going to take a second to break down a certain category inside my brain called adult life.

As a recent grad, the adult life (“big girl job”, buying a car, renting an apartment, paying more bills, etc. as the more boring definition) had been staring me in the face for months. I was excited to finally be done with all nighters at the SLC and dragging myself out of bed to attend 9 AM’s that I could have passed from the comfort of my own bed with laptop in hand. Friends were attending job interviews, getting offers, moving to cities, getting engaged, making all kinds of big plans, and so was I!

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.
