My Current Fall Shopping List

We are finally getting some cool weather in Dallas and it's giving me all the fall feels. I wanted to drop by and share my current fall shopping list. I know many of you have been requesting sweater recommendations and boot options — hopefully, this little list can be a great starting point. It also gives you more insight into where I shop! We've been spending the weekend packing and unpacking (I feel like this never ends), getting a few Halloween decorations and gearing up for my college besties coming in town next Friday. I am so, so excited. We all haven't seen each other in a couple years so we have a lot to catch up on! Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend x Ashley  ...

4 Hacks For Low-Maintenance Hair Color

Hair care, styling tips and “what to tell your hairdresser” are topics we cover frequently on TTD. Whether you get our monthly newsletters with beauty tips or you follow along on Instagram Stories (#TTDBeautyTalk), you have probably heard me mention these a time or two.  But in all honesty, they are what I have been doing for the past 5 years and what every hairdresser I meet recommends — because you know I’m obnoxious and ask them for their tips.  Below I’m breaking down 4 easy hacks you can start doing TODAY if you color your hair. I do each one of these and only get my hair done 3-4 times a year. Of course, everyone’s needs are different, but I’m convinced that a few of these are the main reason my hair color has lasted so long.  ...

6 Leopard Print Pieces You Need this Fall

Well, look at this — not one but two leopard-print posts in a week. Please tell me you're not over it because I am certainly loving this trend. When I was in NYC for Fashion Week, I wore this Leopard Print Midi Dress with these Golden Goose sneakers and it was hands down the most comfortable outfit of the entire week. Shoot, I was guilty of wearing this exact same getup twice (actually three times) last week and I am not ashamed to admit it. If you're into it, here are 6 of the best buys in fashion’s favorite print. Enjoy! x Ashley ...

To be honest, I was pretty set on my "current situation", but after recent articles and reports on the benefits of natural deodorant, I decided things needed to change. ...

Trend Alert: The Dad Sneaker

After spending the past week in NYC, there was one trend I was happy to partake in: the dad sneaker. Now don't get me wrong, I was hesitant at first to jump on board with the chunky, white sneaker straight out of the 90s. But as you know, the 90s trends are back and if there's one thing we can agree on, sneakers are quite comfortable. This pair is from the new Nordstrom x Nike pop up and works for both athleisure and style. I wear them with leggings to walk Lucy around the block or with a midi dress or satin skirt to grab lunch with Austin. ...

Happy Monday, friends! I just got back from New York Fashion Week late Thursday night and spent the weekend taking a digital detox.

We spent the weekend packing, working on Ashley at Home and tying up loose ends on a few of our upcoming projects. So not much relaxing going on over here but it feels good being back in the swing of things.  ...
