A few weeks ago we got a little burst of warm weather and I broke out this new swan dress for a Friendsgiving get together. Even though it was warm in the day I knew we’d be outside I brought this coat along thinking I’d throw it on when it got cold. Can you believe it never got cold enough for it? Outside in the middle of November. One of the many reasons I love California.

I rarely pick favorites but this was probably my favorite look from last month. Sometimes mixed prints end up looking like a mess and sometimes they just work. I may be crazy for pairing swans with leopard and a color blocked coat and then standing in front of this busy mural, but I’m loving it. continue reading

Over the weekend we made a trip up to Northern California to visit family and friends. We spent Saturday in San Francisco so naturally we had to take some pictures there.

I don’t know what it is this year, but I have a major thing for coats and can’t stop buying them! Is #IHaveThisThingWithCoats a thing yet, or am I crazy? This gray one is just as cozy as it looks and saved me big time in the chilly temperatures.

There are certain walls in LA that are kind of famous in the blogger community. This polka dot pretty is one of them. We spent Saturday night at The Roosevelt Hotel so on the way home I made Jeff take a detour through downtown for this shoot.

One trend I’m obsessing over this season is the long vest. They’re really so versatile. This one is really affordable and perfect for layering. I’ve been styling my sleeveless trench over dresses and shorts for a few months and am excited to add this black one into the mix. continue reading

I just got back from a quick weekend trip to Arizona where we spent time with family and went trick or treating with my cute nieces. I wanted to pack this new dress because the print and style seem so boho desert to me, especially when I paired it with a felt hat and ankle boots.

Don’t forget, if you’re in the OC area next Saturday, I’ll be speaking on a panel at StyleCon at 2:30 pm. I’m so excited to be part of this amazing day of all things fashion and beauty. Get your tickets before they sell out and for only $24 with code ASHLEY! I would love to meet you there. 🙂 continue reading

Nothing seems more fall to me than plaid. So I was excited to style this new plaid flannel shirt with the warm brown suede skirt for a fun autumn look. The warm earthy colors in both  pieces pair together so nicely, they make me want to pick up a Pumpkin Spice Latte or some other equally basic drink.

Because bare legs aren’t always possible I decided to style the flannel a second way with a poncho too!

I’ve been searching for fall dresses I can wear both to the office and out and about. This blush one was an instant favorite that I’ve already worn a handful of times, it also comes in two other colors that are perfect for the colder months.

Sometimes I have a difficult time with the shape of a swing dress on my body type. I’m on the petite side and can get a little lost in them. To combat this I tied my favorite chambray shirt around my waist to cinch the dress a bit, but it still looks cute on it’s own. continue reading
