Mexico Part 1: Fashion

5:57 PM

A month ago our family took a trip to Cancun, Mexico. It was my first time out of the country, and it did not disappoint! I promise that I will put the family pictures up (Keep a look out for Mexico Part 2!), but for now I want to talk about the fashion side of the story. Every other day, the resort (Shout out to Royal Solaris), would have a fashion show displaying their swimsuit/cover up options. Being the freak I am, I was a little too excited and had to capture the outfits.

I love all of the bright flowey pieces! They were refreshing to see after a winter full of dark hues and lots of layers!

Edge of the World

12:39 AM

Late night blog post! WOOHOO!!!! For this post, I wanted a woodsy, almost fairy-like theme. We were in a wooded area in Bloomington and we found train tracks that ended suddenly over a large body of water (I was a little turned around so I don’t know exactly where we were), thus the name of this blog. You can see the shot of my feet right next to the edge of the drop off (scary!!!) Details for this outfit is below the pictures.

The flower headband and tulle skirt are from Forever 21. The shirt is also from Forever 21, but it came in a pajama set. The shoes and sweater are from Target.

Frozen at the Foshay

10:27 PM

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.
