#FALLFESTWI

The lovely + creative ladies Dani & Laura at Thyme is Honey and Beauty and the Beard hosted a fun little event they called Fall Fest this past weekend for some local Wisconsin bloggers. It was filled with fun crafty projects, nibbling on fall snacks, the cutest fall decor,  fun goodies from fabulous sponsors, bonfire, & photo booth. Plus- it was a  foodies dream with a DIY s'more bar, mojito bar, popcorn bar, & hot cocoa bar! (what can we say- we love DIY's)! 

It's so awesome that the Midwest Style Bloggers Network has been able to connect so many local bloggers! See all of the events & bloggers' pictures on instagram with the #fallfestwi hashtag!

Way to represent the Midwest in style ladies!

Be sure to check out their coverage of the events on their blog pages!

One Look: Four Ways // Vita Coco

The Midwest Style Bloggers are savoring every last bit of Summer and this Midwest heat waves with fun colorful outfits, our favorite bright jewelry & Vita Coco Coconut Water.  While we're excited for the start of fall fashion- it makes us sad to put away our sundresses for the rest of the year!

Check out each of our outfits inspired by the four fruit flavors- a tasty drink makes the best accessory!

One Look/ Four Ways: Bangs Sneakers

The Midwest Style Bloggers are back at it again- each of us styling our pair of Bangs sneakers- great shoes & even better causes. The high top sneaker trend is all over the place lately- paired back from sundresses to blue jeans- the bangs pairs come in white, black, red

We especially love that these pairs represent more than just a fashion statement, but give back as well! 

See the details of each girl's look on their blogs: Maya // Katelyn // Lauren // Samantha

We are so inspired by the story of Hannah, founder of Bangs.We love seeing companies come up with new ways to give back, incorporated into the fashion world! 20% of their profits go back to nonprofit partners!

Which is your favorite cause to give back to?
