VIDEO | Forever 21 & Zara Clothing + Accessory Haul

If I’m a sucker for anything, it’s a good deal on clothes and accessories. Shops like Forever 21, H&M, MissGuided, and Zara are what fill my closet and keep my wallet (slightly) filled as well. Continue reading

A Reflection on the Past Year

It has been just a little over a year now since we started this blog. Say what!? It all started with us sitting on a bench in Central Park, looking at the New York City gorgeousness and knowing that we wanted more, we wanted to accomplish more, meet amazing humans, we wanted to find a way to succeed, on our own terms.

5 things I wish I knew before I graduated college

College graduates from the Art Institute

It’s been a year and a half since I graduated college. With a number of my friends still in school, I can’t help but reminisce on the college days. This past year has been full of ups and downs, all of which have been great learning experiences and I wish I could share them with everyone. Especially the ones that I see scrambling to graduate and job hunt while balancing the rest of their day to day lives. It’s no easy task. Everyone wants to tell you how to live but no one can decide what’s going to make you the most happy and the most successful. Continue reading

Superior Hiking Trail Adventures

Superior Hiking Trail Minnesota

I was born with a travel bug in my body and am always seeking new ways to just get out and explore a new place. This past fall I hiked up this 14 mile adventure and fell completely in love. Superior Hiking Trail to Bean and Bear Lake overlook makes me feel like I teleported to the top of the Rocky Mountains. Incredibly hard to believe that a corn filled state has hidden gems that gives me the biggest nostalgic feels of the mountains in Colorado.

Makeup 101: Makeup basics for beginners

Hi loves!  This post is going to be all about my favorite subject, makeup! If you are new(ish) to makeup and want to learn more, this post is for you. It will help answer questions like “What products should I invest in?” “Should I go with high-end or drugstore makeup?” “What do I need to start out with and what can I wait on purchasing?”

My old makeup habits were sad to say the least. I didn’t have very many products (and certainly not any good ones) and I was clueless on how to apply them. I started on a mission to learn all I could about makeup and two years later am still on that journey but have learned oh so much. Now it’s time to share what I’ve learned.  Soooo if you’d like to learn how to get your makeup collection started or improved upon without wasting money on products you don’t need (like I did waayyy too many times) then keep on reading!  Continue reading

F&F for Hy-Vee & $100 Giveaway!

Getting older, you really start treasuring certain memories, for example, being 7 years old and running to your local small town grocery store, Hy-Vee, to get that free chocolate chip cookie after school. Five years after moving up to the cities, Hy-Vee started opening up stores like wild fire. All we kept hearing was people raving about how great it is, affordable and how the options are endless. So we decided to hop on the bandwagon and headed out to see what all the talk is about! Walking up to the store brought back those childhood memories and awakened a new shopping experience.

As some of you may know, each Fashion Week in Minnesota exits with a bang as the Envision Fashion Show wraps it all up. This year was their 10th anniversary and marked the 20th Envision fashion show. The runway show, starring Ignite Models and local Minnesotan fashion designers, has grown into a must-see event with tickets in high demand. We were lucky enough to snag a front row seat to this year’s event.

From casual to evening gown attire, the designers hit all the marks with their Fall 2016 collections. New color palettes, bold patterns, and striking pieces dazzled us throughout the entirety of the show. Let us break down some of our favorites. Continue reading
