Yesterday I got my first taste of the downtown Detroit holiday market scene! Campus Martius is buzzing with a festive feeling that’s hard to beat! ❤️🎁🌲 I picked up a few goodies from the rotating boutiques just in time for Thanksgiving - a gorgeous vintage top from @detroitdolly and some statement acrylic earrings from @ashleygold. Who is your favorite vendor at the markets currently?! 🌲🎁❤️ . . . . . #dssentials #currentlywearing #streetstyle #detroitblog #blogger #motorcity #styleblogger #lookbook #winterfashion #problogging #outfitplace #minimalmovement #whatiwore #postthepeople #todaysfit #fashiongoals #views #styleguide #visualgang #liveauthentic #trendsetter #livefolk #outfitsociety #detroit #bloggersgetsocial #simplefits #portraitgames #detroitstylist #ootd #ootdwatch
In the early 1970’s, employees of both Michcon and ANR were located in both of these buildings - One Woodward and the Guardian Building. The bridge was designed to give Guardian employees access to One Woodward’s cafeteria. When Rock Ventures purchased One Woodward in 2012, the bridge was outfitted with lights. It shines each evening as a beacon of Detroit’s creativity and innovation. 🚥💡🚦💡🚥 . . . . . #dssentials #detroitproud #candiddetroit #detroitusa #elitedet #detroitliveshere #detroitphotography #actuallydetroit #seenindetroit #downtowndetroit #hellodetroit #detroitmi #wearedetroit #detroit #detroitmichigan #rawdetroit #detroitskyline #hellyeahdetroit #indulgedetroit #motorcity #onlyindetroit #scenefromdetroit #asdetroitsown #embracedetroit #detroitblogger #detroitgrammers #puredetroit #revivethed

So you may have noticed we’ve been a little MIA lately, and we’re ready to tell you why! We’ve got a new side gig as content creators/social media managers for @thewisedecision, an incredible Performance & Wellness Center in downtown Detroit. ❤️💪🏻🖤 After just a few visits and chats with owner and head trainer Sterling Wise, we knew he could help us reach our #weddingbodgoals. So, we’ve been documenting our training and will share it very soon. To keep up with our journey, go give them a follow @thewisedecision! 🖤💪🏻❤️ . . . . . #dssentials #wisedecision #detroitfitness #detroitproud #detroitmade #madeindetroit #detroitbusiness #detroitpersonaltrainer #groupfitness #detroitstrong #instafitness #fitnessmotivation #healthylifestyle #puredetroit #sundayrunday #detroitusa #onlyindetroit #gains #seenindetroit #fitfam #gymrat #hellodetroit #rivertowndetroit #belleisle #hellyeahdetroit
