creative diaries 11 : madelynn hackwith furlong

I first saw Madelynn pop up over on The Everygirl for a tour of her apartment when I realized she was another talented local to Minneapolis! Lately, she’s been killing it with her Perfect Wardrobe series as well as a lovely feature over on Cuyana. Her eye for style is impeccable. Seriously though, this lady has a lot of good things going on. For this creative diary entry, she was to focus on one single work day and answer a few simple questions about the good, the bad, and the inspiring. This is what happened, truthfully.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT YOU DID THIS MORNING : This morning was very leisurely. I woke up, watered my plants, took out the dog, made some coffee and then relaxed a bit and answered some emails. It was so great – I don’t often get mornings like this one.

DESCRIBE ONE CHALLENGE THAT YOU FACED : Lately I have been thinking lots about all the content and images I style and curate for Wide Eyed Legless and making sure that it all stays true to the aesthetic of the brand. Trust me, its a lot harder and more time consuming than it sounds!

DESCRIBE ONE ACCOMPLISHMENT : I wrote the remaining two posts for the Perfect Wardrobe Series I have been doing on the blog. It feels so great to finish something that you’ve worked so hard on.

DESCRIBE ONE THING YOU LEARNED : I am a huge extrovert and people person, I am also a perfectionist and have to constantly be busy- but some days I just feel like staying in and being a little bit of a hermit … Im slowly starting to accept this and allow myself to have days where I don’t feel the need to constantly be around people or accomplish things on the ‘to do’ list.

WHAT IS THE LAST THING YOU DID FOR WORK : Talked with my dear friend Hannah of Another Feather about shooting a look book for her new line coming out this spring! I cannot wait to get my hands on her new pieces. They are divine!

AND JUST FOR FUN, DID YOU EAT ANYTHING TASTY : I had some locally made paw paw ice cream. Paw paw is like the perfect cross between a banana and a mango. It is so great and makes the perfect afternoon treat!
