Sunday, Angi and I had a morning out and about grabbing brunch and going to the farmers market.

Although it has been chilly lately, Sunday was a beautiful throwback to summer complete with 80 degree weather and a nice breeze.

For our golden hour shoot, I wore a black maxi skirt, my brunch so hard tank from Target, and a chambray long sleeve shirt over the top. 

 

The comfort of this outfit is unreal! I could live in it. Although the tank top and chambray could be considered causal, the maxi skirt really dresses it up. Whereas, if I had worn it with leggings, it would have looked like I had just come from the gym.

To finish off the look, I wore these adorable animal print flats from SO.

What styles are you loving this fall? What other styles would you like to see on the blog?

Hello Lovebugs!

I’m sorry it has been so long since I have posted, but I have a feeling that will not be the case anymore. If anything, you’ll be sick of me!

This outfit and group of pictures are from last week’s adventure to the Foshay Tower in Minneapolis. The Foshay Tower (named after Wilbur Foshay) was the tallest skyscraper in Minneapolis from it’s completion on November 2nd, 1929 until 1972. Wilbur Foshay, an entrepreneur, hosted a celebration when it opened. Roughly 25,000 people were invited, all guest were given real gold pocket watches and there was a 19 gun salute. There was even a song made specifically for the celebration, needless to say it was a big deal. Six weeks after the celebration, the Great Depression hit. Foshay went bankrupt, which meant that he was in debt to not only Minneapolis, but to the conductor of the celebration song. The song wasn’t played again until 1988.

Today, the tower is a renovated, completely gorgeous (aesthetically pleasing ;)) hotel, except for the top floor. On the 30th floor, there is a Foshay Observation Deck, which to my surprise, is outside. Now, usually this would be fine, except Minneapolis was in the middle of a snowstorm. But, as you know, nothing stops me and Angi. We stayed up there for 45 minutes grasping our coffee and kickin it by the heaters. 

We did take pictures at other places, but I thought Foshay was the most interesting of them all.

A post by Angi, the coolest Russian ever:

About a month back sassy Kevin and I took a weekend trip down to beautiful DC!

There was a lot to see! Many places we visited and many many more that we had to skip over for now. We saw the city by bike.

I tried to dress comfortably for the occasion! On my feet I wore my favorite worn In pair of vans that treated me extremely well until the very very end of the trip. On top I wore my very favorite cardigan that I at one point picked up from target. To finish off the outfit I added in a floral scarf, just to add a little splash of color!

Kevin just wore a bro tank.

There were many others we saw along this trip ranging from classy older ladies to adorable wobbling toddlers, and cute puppies. Not that the dogs dressed very well.

It seemed that most people in this city were dressing to impress! Or at least going for cute comfy looks to get them through long days spent looking at tourist attractions.

Like this man, casually tucking in his shirt. He’s prepared for anything with his shades on and umbrella in hand.

The weather was a bit unpredictable.

You could say that DC had some “killer” coffee! We had to stop at just about every cute cafe we came across and it was worth it every time!

 We were very proud of ourselves 16 miles into the bike ride!

Little did we know it was only about half way through.

It’s not too often that I venture out of my comfort zone and embrace nature, in fact, most of the time I avoid it. I don’t like camping, I don’t like bugs, and the sun burns me with it’s fiery passion. But for Shannon, I did. Down by Fort Snelling, Shay and I caught up, took a hike and watched the sunset. My ankles may be sore, but it was totally worth it! 

Where the Minnesota River meets the Mississippi River

I spent this afternoon in my favorite place with my favorite person, Linnea!

We were walking around and Linnu spotted a dog in the window. At first we thought it was fake, but then it blinked. Upon realizing that the puppy was in fact real, we made a plan to enter the furniture store and get to that dog. We decided we were roommates looking for furniture for our apartment, and we carried our plan out to fruition. So, this is Lulu! If I remember right, she is a shiba inu and is 13 years old.

Her owner had an awesome shirt on that I wanted to immediately make into a bro tank, but I thought it would be a bit rude to pet the dog and steal his shirt without buying any merchandise from the store. If you want to see Lulu in real life, you should head over to Pharmacie Home on Lyndale in Minneapolis. (http://pharmaciempls.com/) 

Then, we walked for a while until nature called and we stumbled into a coffee shop called I Am Coffee (http://www.iamcoffeeinc.com/home.html) The first reason I would recommend them is because they have a bathroom and that was my initial purpose for going there. But they have great customer service as well! Working in a coffee shop, I have become very spoiled and very particular when it comes to how I like drinks made. The guy was so patient and the coffee was very good! 

For the rest of our time together, we ran through uptown finding crazy wall art and taking pictures/selfies until Linnea’s phone Helga died. One building in particular is where a majority of this artwork came from, but I didn’t catch what the place was called.

I ain’t even mad tho.
