Girls Weekend Getaway: Palm Springs

December 21, 2018 by Madison

Hi! Welcome back to Vogue and a Latte! I am super excited to share these photos and spots in Palm Springs, one of the most relaxing places on earth.

I am here to tell you all about my girls weekend in Palm Springs last weekend. It was truly a desert dream with some of my favorite gals (Anna, Kenzie, & Tori)! We all piled into my tiny fiat and headed out to our trendy house in Palm Springs. I am going to be talking a LOT about our perfect Airbnb, that I will link here for you guys to book your future getaways! It was one of the best Airbnb’s that I have ever stayed at. There was a concrete wall surrounding the property and a gate that opened and closed with a code, we felt so safe which is crucial when it is 4 girls staying together. The decor was on point ( the house is actually famous for its design ) and we could have photographed for hours inside the house. Zedd actually shot his most recent lyric video in this house. The outside was the perfect backdrop for our photography dreams. Cacti and desert all around us.

Welcome back to Forge A Frenzy!

It has been so long since I have been able to actually post a fun look on the blog! I have been extremely busy, as I’m sure you all are, and shooting a look has, unfortunately, been at the bottom of the to-do list. Which SUCKS because it’s one of my favorite parts of the blog. I feel like life definitely goes in phases of being super busy and then having tons of down time… I am obviously currently in the first category. But, to be honest, it feels really good to work your butt off and see results. Whether that means my blog or my health. Results and success are so motivating.

Hiiiiiii frenzies. Welcome to my place for ramblings and photos.

FIRST POST WITH MY DARK HAIR BACK!!! While I enjoyed the lighter version of me, dark brunette feels most authentic!

I love weekends. Like a lot. I worked retail for 3 out of my 4 college years as well as my first post-grad job at Nordstrom. Let me fill you in: weekends DO NOT EXIST IN RETAIL. I struggled with loving clothes and styling and loathing working retail. It was a love/hate relationship to say the least. I definitely enjoyed working at Encore (the local Athens, GA boutique where I spent Tuesdays + Thursdays as well as some weekends) because of my fab coworkers and all of our super freaking cute product, but weekends, in my book, are for relaxing and exploring.

Welcome back to Forge A Frenzy!

This week has been nonstop playing catch-up from our Palm Springs trip and planning an itinerary for all of the boutique events this weekend! It seems like everyone is having their Coachella kick-off events (or amazing sample sales + pop-up shops) with fun giveaways, music, and goodies. For you LA + OC gals, I will list the events here:

Hiiiiii everyone.

Welcome back to FaF! It’s been a little while since my last post because life has been CRAZY. Planning trips, shooting all of the time, working, blogging, eating healthy, social life, the list goes on and on and on! But the great thing about loving what you do is that it never feels like work! Sure there are time when I would really rather not edit 60 photos or reply to 20 emails but with the end goal in mind, it makes it all worth it.
