Lately the most worn item in my closet has been this pair of cutoffs. They’re a little high waisted which is perfect for my post-pregnancy body that’s still hanging on to a few extra pounds. Also they’re what I missed wearing the most when I was pregnant and couldn’t wait to try them on once I got home from the hospital. I’ve been loving them paired with cute tops, like this one. It’s such an effortless look that’s perfect for a weekend brunch, BBQ or just a day spent running errands since it’s a grab and go look.
Happy Friday! Coming off a vacation and going back to work is never easy, even when it’s just a quick weekend getaway. But we made it to the weekend and I’m excited for a couple days with nothing on the schedule. I took a bunch of pictures in Palm Springs and wanted to share. It’s one of my favorite places to relax so I usually only pack the basics. Coverups and cutoffs were pretty much on repeat all weekend.
I actually received a few new coverups towards the end of the summer and never got a chance to wear them. This red tasseled one from Eberjey is so soft and perfect for pool side lounging and I’m just as obsessed with this embroidered one from Chicwish.
I have a lot of purses but I tend to keep it pretty simple day-to-day. I’ve been using this bag as my “everyday” bag for work and switching out the a smaller bag or crossbody for nights and weekends. But now that it’s fall I have my eyes set on a brand new bunch of bags. I’m loving the style and color of this oneand the faux fur detailing on this one. I’m rounding up all my favorites for fall.
Burgundy, wine, maroon, oxblood, bordeaux… some of the many names for this rich color that seems to make an appearance every year about this time. This year I’m all about it and can’t wait to wear it in the coming months. I mentioned yesterday that I love pairing blush with it for a fun juxtaposition. I’ve found so many great pieces in varrying shades. I love them all and wanted to share.
I think powder blue is my favorite color to wear at the moment. It’s soft and feminine without being overly girly. And I’m loving it paired with my cognac shoes and bag.
Thismight be the perfect spring dress. It’s the prettiest shade of baby blue, off-the-shoulder and right around $50. What more could you want? Sadly, things this good never last long and it’s almost sold out. I’m pulling some similar options if you’re looking for more.
Happy Monday! Hope you had a good weekend – I spent the first half of mine at the SAG Awards and the second half relaxing. I’m excited to share a new series I’ll be doing monthly with all of my favorite things from the past month. This month I have a little of everything: beauty, home decor and fashion in my top ten.
I’ve had my eyes on this blanket for over a year. I love the colors and texture and can’t wait until my house is done so I can have it on the couch. It’s helped keep me sane by adding some pretty into the disaster zone that is my house mid-remodel.
This has been my go-to bag all month. It’s the perfect size for work, but not too big if I go out after or heavy while I shop. It is such a steal at $65, but the best part is the quality is so good!
I love the idea mud masks. But until this one I hadn’t found one that actually made a difference. I love to put this one on before I take a bath and really let it sink into my skin.
I’ve been a longtime fan of Loreal’s mascaras. I used them through high school, college and beyond. I’d been switching it up lately but decided to come back around and try this one and was not disappointed. I love double brushes and the primer… it seriously helps so much!
This one isn’t a new find this month, but I still had to share. I’d been using a bb cream for the past while and decided to go back to this. I’m not a fan of a heavy foundation and this one provides just enough coverage while still staying light.
I have combination skin and it takes such a beating in the winter. A good moisturizer is key! I love how buttery this one is but it doesn’t make my skin oily. It actually reminds me of La Mer but for a fraction of the price.
I guess I should have said I was obsessed with this whole line. I’ve been really focusing on skin care this month and finding a serum I loved was important to me. I use this on my face and neck at night before applying the moisturizer. I’ve already noticed a difference.
I’d never tried a cleansing oil but it seems to be working! I typically use this one to remove my makeup and then follow with my normal cleanser. However, when I’m not wearing makeup I just use this to cleanse my face.
Something else that’s not new to me this month but I couldn’t have lived without. I swap my shoes for these babies as soon as I get home. Since they have a rubber sole I can take Mackie out to the backyard without putting regular shoes back on. I go through about a pair of these a year and sometimes even end up wearing them out to run errands.
I just got this sweater last week and have already worn it three times! It’s so comfy and I love how unique it is. I try to switch it up with different pieces when I’m bored with my wardrobe.
I'm Ashley, a professional stylist, wife, and (almost) mom, sharing my love of fashion, beauty, home decor, travel, and life in sunny Southern California!
