A very real post about my life currently.

by Madison

Hi lovelies. Welcome to Forge A Frenzy.

I’ve had a million different things on my mind for this post. I wanted it to be personal. I wanted it to be an update on life. I wanted to move past just chatting about my outfit, move past SEO terms and audience centered content. I wanted to be vulnerable. I wanted to be open. But that didn’t really help me narrow it down. So I will be going a little bit deeper here. If you are up for the challenge of connecting the dots throughout this post, maybe there will be something that catches your attention.

THE KEY TO STYLE BLOGGER SUCCESS

by Madison

Hi everyone and welcome back to Forge A Frenzy!

I talk a lot about my blogging journey, where I began (see my first post here) (lol) and where I am hopefully headed. Along the way, there have been and will continue to be many things that I try that lead to success and that also lead to failure.

If you search ‘how to be a successful blogger’ on Google, these things will probably pop up:
– Email lists
– Sponsored posts
– Pinterest
– Facebook Groups
– Google AdWords
– Sell your soul

Off The Shoulder Love

by Madison

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.

I feel like it has been forever since I posted a new look but it was just last week. Things have been CRAZY over here! I have been working nonstop on projects, collaborations, and content! I am so excited for the next few months with Forge A Frenzy.

I’m super happy to share the newest exciting news with you guys! I have switched platforms for my shop content so that I can accept all major credit cards, have a customer support system, and an awesome inventory tracker. My new shoppable website is www.shopforgeafrenzy.com!!!! Yayyyyy!!!!

Currently, I have my favorite prints from some of my travels listed on the website. I will be adding collections, photos of how to style your prints, and tons of other products. I love combining the things that I love and creating products for my readers to love as well. I am seriously so so so excited about this.

But NOW for today’s super awesome, beachy, and fun look!

Dreaming of Summer

by Madison

Hello and welcome back to Forge A Frenzy!

It’s Wednesday people!! Half way through the week! I am currently sitting on my couch with my pup and a nice big mug full of coffee. A good morning if you ask me.

If there is one thing I learned from this shoot it’s that I need some sunshine in my life. Pale doesn’t work well in California.

White Desert Dream

by Madison

Welcome back to Forge A Frenzy, lovelies!!

This week has been slow but somehow full of ups and downs. Sometimes I get in a creative rut and find myself in a place where I am searching for inspiration and drive! When that happens, I normally say a quick prayer and then dive into what I know lights me up; feeds my creativity. And this week, a brainchild was born that I cannot wait to see come to life and to share with you guys. It’s going to be exciting and also press the gas pedal on my goal of empowering people to be bold and feel inspired.

On to this vision of white that is this dress from Nordstrom! In the above photo I feel slightly like a bride or bridesmaid but ya know, I was going for dreamy-flower-desert-goddess and that’s what I got!

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:

Wish You Were Here | A Desert Look

by Madison

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.
