Happy Monday! I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend. Many of you have emailed me asking about "Wedding Guest" attire or Bride-To-Be dresses for showers and events. I recently ordered this Pink Lace Dress (under $50) and found it to be the perfect fit for any bridal festivities or special occasion. ...
The Weekend Edit // .04
Happy Friday everyone! What are you guys up to this weekend? We have a full weekend ahead! I am hosting my sister-in-laws bachelorette party and shower on Saturday and currently working on material for the Blogger Workshop next Wednesday. (We've had such a great response and I can't wait to meet everyone! There are a few seats left, so be sure to register by Monday if you are interested.) I'm excited to share some great sales, favorite finds and weekend inspiration with all of you. I feel like you guys are really going to like the "Sale Alert" for this week...it's my favorite yet! ...
The Black Shirtdress
I have been loving shirt dresses lately. They are so versatile and perfect for Spring and Summer. This Black Shirtdress from Lou & Grey has been my go-to. It's perfect to wear to just about anywhere and I love that I can dress it up with wedges or down with flats. I also found this Black Maxi Dress (which is almost identical) and I think that would be adorable to wear to the office (or classroom). ...
Coffee Date with Kate
Hi everyone! I am so excited to share a few pictures and a fun interview I did with Kate from The Small Things Blog. She was in Dallas a few weekends ago, and Austin and I had the pleasure of meeting her downtown at Mercat Bistro.
This was my first time to meet her face-to-face, but after a few short minutes, it was like we've been long time friends. We talked about our favorite things, shared funny stories, and of course talked about all things hair! Chances are you know Kate, but if you don't, you will quickly learn that she is a hair genius (seriously, I know you've seen her all over Pinterest). When it comes to tools, products, and tutorials, this girl has you covered!
We had so much fun sitting down and chatting with Kate. She is just so nice and genuine...I hope to work with her again soon!
Here are a few questions from our interview. Enjoy! ...
Spring Style with Kate Spade
If there's one brand that has me excited for Spring and Summer, it has to be Kate Spade New York. They are one of my absolute favorite brands and I am thrilled to be teaming up with Nordstrom to share some of my favorite pieces for Spring. From quirky iPhone cases to feminine details, Kate Spade New York brings a dose of color and fun to any look. ...
Celebrating 4 Years
Today is a special day for Austin and I as we are celebrating 4 years of marriage! I thought it would be fun to share some photos from our wedding with you all. What a true joy it has been to marry the love of my life and best friend. We've had many new (scary and exciting) changes over these past 4 years, but I am thankful to have him by my side.
My prayer is we continue to put God first and always stay faithful through the good and bad. Happy Anniversary, Aus!
Thanks for reading! xx Ashley ...
Easy Layers
Happy Wednesday! If you've followed my blog for awhile, you know I love to layer. Whether it's with a cardigan or jacket, adding that third piece is always something I like to do. Today's look is all about layering for Spring. I love easy layers, and this Lightweight Cardigan (on sale!) is perfect as we transition into warmer weather. ...
Spring Dress Under $100
There's nothing more appropriate for Spring than a floral swing dress (only a few sizes left). I picked up this dress a few weeks ago when my mom took me birthday shopping, and I knew it would be ideal for the new season. My main reason was to wear it to Lindsay's (my sis-in-law) bridal shower last weekend, but I also love the idea of wearing it in a more casual setting. Perhaps paring with with my scalloped flats or these Valentino-esq pointy toe flats. For Summer, why not pair this dress with lace up sandals? I love it! ...
Denim Shift Dress For Spring
Now that Spring is officially here, I wanted to share this easy dress that can transition well for both Spring and Summer. I just love this Denim Shift Dress (under $80) and have a feeling I will be wearing this many more times during the next few months.
This dress is super simple, but I think it looks nice with fun accessories, like these Platform Wedge Sandals (more sizes here) or a bold statement necklace ( I love this or this Seaglass Bib in Blue from BaubleBar). For a layered look, I've paired it this with a moto jacket . I have a feeling that jacket will come in handy many times during the Spring...it get's so chilly at night!
Thanks so much for stopping by! xx Ashley
PS: Today is the last day to register for the Go!Forth Workshop in Dallas this Wednesday. If you are a new (or aspiring) blogger or small business owner, this is for you! It will be a night of learning and I will be ...
Navy Bohemian Dress
This Bohemian Drop Waist Dress (under $30) was the perfect piece to take along during our trip to Mexico. It was honestly one of the easiest items to pack and I did not have to worry about wrinkles (major bonus). I love this dress because it's perfect for transitioning into summer. The fabric is light, but not sheer, and the long billowed sleeves make it practical for chilly nights. If you saw my snapchat from yesterday, this was the dress I was wearing!
Thanks so much for reading! xx Ashley
