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. ...
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 ...
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. ...
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! ...
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 ...
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
OUTFIT DETAILS: Shein Navy Drop Waist Dress (fit: I am wearing a Medium, however I wish I tried the small. I usually size up when I order from Shein, but this seemed to run pretty true in size // quality: overall, I was pretty impressed. It's not sheer and doesn't seem to wrinkle.) | Soludos Leather Espadrilles (fit: true to size) I also love the wedge espadrille version| Lipstick: YSL Glossy Stain #17 Encre Rose ...
Now that the warmer temps have found their way to Dallas, I am starting to take advantage of every opportunity to wear a dress or skirt. The 75 degree weather on Sunday was the perfect excuse to wear this Bell Sleeve Lace Dress to dinner with friends.
The cut-out-lace trend has made a huge influence in the fashion world and I am happy to share that it's in full force this Spring. We've seen this trend on tops, skirts, pants and (my favorite) dresses.
I am loving this Bell Sleeve Lace Dress from JCPenney. It's feminine, fun, and can easily be dressed up or down for the occasion. I opted to wear it with a simple pair of
Happy (almost) weekend! Although, the weather has been pretty rainy in Dallas, I am looking forward to a fun filled birthday! My mom always likes to take me to breakfast on my birthday, so we are heading to Breadwinners later this morning. Austin is taking the afternoon off, so I think we will grab a late lunch and maybe go to the nail salon (he gets so embarrassed, but he loves the pedicures too!)
I wanted to share another casual look with you guys. I know I've worn this Tiered Polka Dot Tunic on here before , but it's seriously one of my favorite tops. I love this Army Green Jacket (sold out, but I linked a few similar styles below) and wear it all of the time! I really like the pop go green with the black and white pattern. I've mentioned on here before that a Army Green Jacket is one of those items that every girl needs in her closet. They can be so versatile!
PS: many of you asked about my earrings that I was wearing on snapchat [the teacher diva] last night (thanks, for your help by the way!) and I wanted to link them for those of you who wanted details
Thanks for stopping by and thank you for the birthday wishes! 29 is off to a ...
One of the most versatile pieces in my closet has to be this Striped Chambray Shirt. It's a perfect option for spring or summer as it can be worn with so many basics you probably already own! I wore it this past weekend with these white jeans (size up), but love the look of pairing it with my favorite denim (I received many questions about Topshop sizing, so I was sure to include that at the bottom of this post).
In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Chambray, especially a classic option like this. I've always loved my tops to fit a little oversized and since this runs a little big, I loved the style. I picked this up in the Topshop section at Nordstrom, and found so many other spring and summer must haves for under $100 (linked at the bottom of the post). I also have to mention these Suede Wedges...I got them as an early birthday present and they are quite comfy. The style is so classic and I can't wait to wear these more as it warms up.
Thanks for stopping by! xx Ashley

There's nothing like a white dress to get you ready for spring. I loved wearing this White Embroidered Dress (now on sale with code BIGEVENT16) during our trip to Cabo San Lucas.
It was light and airy and perfect for the warmer weather. I have to mention, I love that this dress is fully lined. So often white clothing can be sheer or too thin, and this was the perfect balance. It even came with a removable slip! I wore this dress when we ate at Manta. I can't wait to wear this throughout the Summer!
