I am so excited to share these pictures with all of you. I love to document little moments in life but I get really excited about a special occasion such as this. Last weekend my besties and I traveled to Chicago to surprise our dear friend April with a bachelorette party weekend. She was so surprised. I mean we are from Dallas, Little Rock and Houston...so she was shocked. Our plan was to surprise her in the hotel lobby, then take her to the room for a lingerie shower then a night on the town. We had the whole room decorated with bachelorette cookies, games, a photo booth, and of course... lingerie! We had a blast showering her with all kinds of goodies for her upcoming wedding. When Saturday came, we spent the day being tourist. We figured if we were going to make the trip to Chicago, why not make a whole weekend out of it? It was such a fun weekend to spend with good friends. Only a couple more months till the big day!

The Dress You Can Wear for Spring and Summer
Last week, Dallas got a little taste of Spring. And if you can't tell, I took full advantage of the warmer temps and decided to wear a few of the newest pieces I picked up for Spring. If you're like me, you look for dresses that you can wear not on in the Spring or Summer, but ones that can transition into seasons by adding a jacket and booties. This ruffled polkadot dress is that for me. ...
Spring Makeup Must Haves
When it comes to my Spring and Summer beauty routine, I like to keep things as simple as possible. I look for double-duty products that will last during hot Summer days all while keeping that subtle glow. I took these products with me while we were in Mexico and I am excited to share with you some of my current makeup favorites. A few of these are new and some are oldies, either way, you need to know about them!
PS: The Weekend Edit will be coming next week. I've been pretty busy with the wedding shower tomorrow, so my content has been slightly pushed back. Thanks for understanding! xx Ashley
LONG WEAR FOUNDATION WITH SPF
I always make sure to use SPF year round, but I pay special attention to my sunscreen during the Spring & Summer. I love that It Cosmetics adds SPF to their popular CC Cream. My favorite is the CC Illuminating Cream 50+ SPF (I wear the color Medium). Ya'll, this stuff is amazing. I tried the original formula, and it just wasn't for me. It was pretty thick and while it offered amazing coverage, I find the Illuminating CC Cream to be better suited for my skin. It's not sheer by any ...

5 Shoe Styles We Are Seeing Everywhere (and will continue to wear in 2024)
It's definitely been the year of flats, and I have zero complaints. We've seen ballet flats to retro sneakers become quite popular again in 2023. Some would argue that they've always been popular, but as of late, it seems these styles are in demand more than most.
I've curated a selection that I believe will remain well-liked in 2024. And even if you're typically a devoted fan of heels, the picks below may just inspire a change of heart. Surprisingly, the variety of stylish flat shoe options is more extensive than one might expect. ...
Black Friday Sales Worth Shopping (and what’s in my cart)
Cyber Week is honestly one of the most overwhelming weeks when it comes to sales, so I'm making it easy and sharing the places I shop and a few things currently in my cart. For clothing, I have this striped sweater and this pink feather dress (this feels a little out of my norm but love with silver heels for a party in my cart.

My Thanksgiving Tablescape Moodboard
