The return of the white dress.

Last year I was all about the LWD – I mean, I was engaged so I guess I had a good reason to be. But I don’t plan on quitting them and I definitely don’t think it’s too early to debut them now, pre-spring.

Let’s talk about this one. It’s a similar style to my favorite “dress dupes” and it’s equally affordable at $32! If you’re a bride-to-be I think this would be so cute at a shower or wedding event.

I couldn’t let the dress take the full spotlight, I wore my new fringe heels in this nudey/blush color I can’t get enough of. I’m thinking this will be a combo I repeat and remix throughout the year. continue reading

In case you haven’t heard me mention it 322 times since getting engaged 10 months ago, I’m getting married – TOMORROW!

I hope you’ll excuse my absence for a bit while we enjoy celebrating. If you’d like to follow along make sure to follow me on instagram @ashnfashn and check out our wedding hashtag #thejackelwedding

Wish us luck!

Welcome Monday! I’m so excited because it’s my wedding week! Part of me feels like we’ve been planning for years and part of me feels like we just got engaged yesterday. It’s super surreal that it’s almost here and I’m so excited!

I thought I’d kick off this week with a little white romper. I actually ordered this a few months back to wear to my first shower but it didn’t arrive on time. All was fine and I ended up wearing this dress that I loved just as much. But back to this romper, I’d never seen one quite like this (and I have A LOT of rompers), the ruffle detail was what sold me. I’m actually planning on wearing this the day after our wedding to our family brunch.

This bride tee is so fun to wear. It’s a great reminder that I’m getting married in a few months! Ever since we got engaged I’ve been stocking up on white dresses and fun things like this t-shirt. You’re only engaged once so I say live it up with the cheeky trinkets.

We spent the weekend tackling a long list of errands but managed to squeeze in some fun too. This was my first award show “off” this year and I enjoyed the Grammys my favorite way: from the couch, in my pj’s with a big glass of wine. Did you watch? Taylor Swift’s dress was my fav. continue reading

It’s crazy to think that it’s almost been a month since we got engaged! But at the same time, we’ve already covered a lot of ground. I gave myself about a week to soak up the engagement then we got going! Over the last two weekend we have visited 11 venues. ELEVEN! I’ve been all over the map with what I wanted (or thought I wanted) for a location. Ranging from the desert to the beach to a country club… and everything in between.

I though I’d share some of the inspiration we’ve pinned along the way. continue reading

This last Thursday night Jeff and I got engaged! It was such a perfect surprise and I’m still in a bit of shock so please forgive me for being brief, but I wanted to share the news. We were at our favorite hotel The Parker in Palm Springs and Jeff had our families and my two best friends drive out for the surprise. We are so happy and excited for this next step. I’m also excited to share some wedding planning once we get started. Obviously this is all new to me so please share any advice you might have. continue reading
