My Travel Guide to Des Moines

My favorite bars, restaurants, shops and things to do in Des Moines, Iowa.


Today I am very excited to share with all of you one of the projects I've been working on for the past couple months! When the lovely Susannah of Feast + West asked me to prepare a travel guide for Des Moines as part of her Hidden Gems series, I practically jumped for joy. Partially because I love writing guest posts and working with fellow bloggers, but also because I just love the city of Des Moines so much.

I had a lot of fun writing the post, which you can read in full here, but the hardest part was narrowing down the list of places to go. There are just so many things to recommend here! And there are even more that I haven't had the chance to do yet.

Des Moines may not be the biggest city, but it has so much to offer. I hope you enjoy my travel guide — it includes some of my favorite bars, restaurants local shopping and other things to do — and if you're ever in the area, look me up! :)

Have you ever been to Des Moines If you're from the area, what would you put on a travel guide? I'd love to hear!

The Tipsy Traveler

A blackberry peach cocktail made with IngeniOz vodka to represent the beautiful state of Iowa


Happy Monday, lovelies! Today I'm very excited to share a cocktail recipe that I created for the 5 O'Clock Fashionistas new Coaster 2 Coaster series. The lovely Jacque asked me earlier this summer to create a cocktail that represents Iowa for her blog, and I came up with the Tipsy Traveler. It's part blackberry, part peach — and absolutely delicious (if I do say so myself)!
