This has to be one of my favorite outfits of the season. While I love getting dressed up or throwing on a pair of heels, nothing makes me more comfortable than a soft sweater and jeans. I've been eyeing this leopard sweater for weeks and finally picked it up on sale during my recent trip to NYC. I loved the way it looked with my pink coat. It is such a fun mix and something I have been wearing on repeat this season. ...

Ever since Austin and I moved into our house a couple years ago, we have loved hosting small get togethers and cocktail parties. There's just something about having your friends and family over that makes our home feel even more special. With New Years Eve just around the corner, I wanted to share a few tips & decorating ideas for hosting a NYE Cocktail Party. Here are a few ideas that I have found worked for me in the past: ...
Oversized Sweater & Boyfriend Jeans
If there's one thing I love wearing during the winter, it's a soft, oversized sweater. I picked this sweater up in NYC a few weeks ago and I have not stopped wearing it. Seriously, it's that good. I also bought it in beige too! I love wearing it with my AG Jeans and leather booties for a cool, casual look. ...
5 Things To Do During the Holidays
I just love the holidays. The festive lights, cozy sweaters and joy of the season are just a few things that I look forward to this time of year. But one tradition is special to me: Christmas Date Night. Each year, Austin and I pick an evening to celebrate the season just for the two of us. We started this tradition when we were dating and we both look forward to it every year! Whether we dress up or stay in, we always have a fun time enjoying the season. Here are a few of our things to do during the holidays: ...

Today's post is a little different. But believe or not, I get a lot of questions about Austin's beard and hairstyle. This is a department I can confidently say I know nothing about. So, Austin offered to put together a short gift guide for guys with beards. I hope this helps! Here's what he wrote: ...
Trendy NYC Coffee Shops
Coffee is easily one of my favorite ways to start my morning. There's just something about starting my day off with a hot cup of joe, that motivates me to get things done. This past weekend I made a trip up to New York City with my sister-in-law, Megan, and being the coffee lovers that we are, we wanted to visit as many trendy coffee shops as possible. ...
Packing for New York City
Today, I am off to NYC with my sister in law, Megan. We are pretty excited about this weekend getaway and can't wait to be back in New York City. Feel free to follow along via snapchat and Instagram to see more from our girls trip!
In the meantime, I thought I would share a quick packing post with you all, featuring a few of the items I brought in my carry on.
A few call outs would be this pink coat. The color is even prettier in person and is the perfect shade of blush. I do recommend sizing up...it runs a little small.
If you've followed my blog for a while, you know I love a good facial mist. I always like to keep one on hand. Whether it's in my makeup bag or at my desk, I literally use it anytime I am in need of a boost. I recently picked up the Luminous Dewy Skin Mist by Tatcha and have been so impressed. It's comes out in an ultra fine mist, and gives your skin an instant refresh. This might be my favorite I have ever tried. I use it right after cleansing, before moisturizer and throughout the day over my makeup.
I hope you guys have a great day! xx Ashley ...

It's perfect for layering under your favorite sweaters, turtlenecks ...
Fall Coats Under $150
When it comes to Fall and Winter coats, I love to stick with classic styles. I find that sticking with neutrals makes it easy to pair with both prints and solids. However, finding a great coat doesn't mean you have to break the bank. There are actually several options that are both affordable and great quality. I've been searching for a Camel Coat to take with us on our trip to Virgina and this one has been perfect. It's fully lined, very soft and the best part, it's under $150. ...

There are just some brands that make the best basics and Barefoot Dreams is one of them. Not only are their products incredible soft, but they are made to last.
