Jenni Kayne Pink D'Orsay Flat // Chinese Laundry Easy Does It // Jenni Kayne Seafoam D' Orsay Flat // Forever 21 Coral D' Orsay Flat Ok, so if there is one thing I've learned from having a job that entitles me to be on my feet ALL day, it's flats over heals. Wedges can sometimes be an exception, but honestly I was crazy when I tried to sport heals while teaching kindergarten. With that being said, I have become best friends with ballet slippers, loafers, and now these guys. I absolutely love the look of these pointed toe flats. D'Orsay Flats are pretty pricey but other designers are coming out with similar styles that are more affordable. I am currently loving the cobalt Audrey flats from Shoemint, only $79! ...
San Francisco | Day 1
Better late than never....a little recap of our weekend trip to San Fran. Looking through my pictures I realize there are wayy to many for one post...so this will just be part 1. Ah, where to start? Well, If you have never been to San Fran, I suggest you make a plan to visit... immediately! It was seriously such a BEAUTIFUL and exciting place to be! I could definitely move there. I mean I know it's the 2nd most expensive place to live but I'm sure a teacher salary would totally cut it there right? HA only kidding. Back to our trip. Day 1 was spent exploring the Union Square...Ghirardelli Square and of course shopping. I am really lucky to have a husband that is sweet enough to not complain and at least pretend to enjoy a day of running in and out of stores for just a "quick look". I'm not cruel though, I know he loves chocolate so it was only fair to sweeten the deal by ending up at the Ghirardelli store for some delicious hot choco (thanks Lauren for the suggestion). Can't wait to share day 2 and 3 with you! xo-ashley
Wearing
Army Green
One of my favorite looks these days is a military inspired jacket paired with a fitted tee. Spending this past weekend in San Fran gave me the perfect opportunity to sport this look. This casual outfit was perfect for the chilly days walking around the city. I can't forget to mention this fabulous necklace. I knew this edgy piece from Sira Mara was the perfect way to top off my look. Can I also say it's under $10? Amazing.

Beauty Talk- Let’s Face It
One thing my mom always taught was to take good care of my skin. Since I can remember, I have always taken the time to take care of my skin and invest in some pricy and not-so-pricy products. Although I was one of those who would wash her face every morning and night, I still would suffer from the occasional blemish. Yuck! Throughout my search for finding good products that worked for my skin, I finally found a few that seem to do the trick. Knock on wood.
01. Say Yes To Cucumbers Face Wipes: Simply the best! I dont know what it is, but I have tried EVERY face wipe and this is THE only one that does not make my face have some crazy reaction. I use it every day to take my makeup off. I also throw one in my gym or travel bag.
02. Caudalie Beauty Elixir: Well, I was very skeptical about this product at first, until I tried it. It's amazing! I am not one to lather on the moisturizer, as my skin is already oily, but I do know it's important to give my skin some moisture. This does just that. Not only is it refreshing but it gives my skin vitamins and nutrients without feeling ...
Style Me Monday with Maya Brenner
Asymmetrical Initial Necklace // The Grace Bracelet // Stella & Dot Interlock Cross Necklace // Texas Necklace // Diamond Bezel Ring // Stella & Dot Maya Pendent // Curb Appeal Bracelet // 14K Mini Letter Studs
I am wanting to start this Monday off with one of my favorite, seriously, designers. I can not tell you how much I love the jewelry from Maya Brenner. They are simple and classic. A great combo in my book! I have been a fan of the monogrammed necklaces, but wanted to find something more dainty and a little less trendy. My husband got me this necklace for Christmas and I have yet to take it off. I love it! I wear it solo or layered with another delicate piece. I am thinking about layering it with the new turquoise necklace from Stella&Dot. You can't beat a MB ...
A Sweet Surprise!
Some of you know that one of my best friends, April, is getting married in June. I have to say that I am pretty excited about this because they are truly great for each other and I set the two of them up (my first success at matchmaker...yes!). Anyways, I got the SWEETEST "will you be my bridesmaid?" card in the mail...EVER. When I opened the package, I was amazed to see the cutest paper dolls holding hands. On each doll had each bridesmaids name on it with coordinating hair color, of course. You think that's great...just wait! On the back of each doll is that bridesmaid's contact info...so handy! I love it so much I thought I needed to share in case any of you are brides to be! Enjoy!!

Back to Black
Happy Weekend! On this Friday morning I'd like to share my love for ILY Couture. You may already know how much I adore this brand from here, here and here, but since they launched their clothing line, I can't help but love them even more. This season I was in the market for a new black coat. Yea, maybe a little boring, but I was looking to replace my old black coat. When I saw ILY Couture had peacoats, I knew that I had to get my hands on one. Luckily, I was able to snag it on sale...score! {still on sale!} I love the fit and the awesome collar makes you feel super swanky... and who doesn't like feeling swanky? I hope you enjoy your weekend!xo-ashley
