Styling a Pajama Inspired Blouse

Styling a Pajama Inspired Blouse

I love the look of a pajama inspired blouse. The bold piping and feminine take on this menswear inspired blouse are a fun spin on the classic white shirt. And while a matching set might be a little intimidating to pull off outside of the comfort of your home, I'm loving a Pajama Style Top with jeans.  ...

How I Get My Everyday Loose Curls

How I Get My Everyday Loose Curls

I am so excited to finally share an updated hair tutorial featuring how I get my everyday loose curls. I'm definitely not a pro, but this is my regular routine and my favorite way to style my hair. Not only is it a low maintenance hairstyle, but I actually figured out how to get my curls to last a good 2 (maybe 3) days without restyling. Don't worry, I'm sharing my secrets below. I hope you enjoy this loose curls hair tutorial! If you try this tutorial and love the results, be sure to tag #TTDbeautytalk on instagram or twitter for a chance to be featured on my instagram-stories! Thanks for stopping by! xx Ashley HOW TO GET LOOSE CURLS

  1. Start with clean hair. If time allows, I let my hair air dry overnight. This gives it some texture and helps keep the curl bouncy. Before curing, I use Oribe Royal Blowout. This heat protecting mist helps fight frizz, heat damage and gives a subtle sheen to your hair. It's weightless and works on both wet or dry hair. I know it's pricey, but it's good.

10 Closet Staples I Purchased from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

10 Closet Staples I Purchased from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in full swing for card holders, I'm sure you've had time to search the sale and perhaps make a few purchases of your own. I know the sale can be overwhelming for some of us, but I wanted to share a few staples that I actually purchased, loved and kept. I'm also sharing a few that didn't go over too well for me. These key items are actually pretty basic, but honestly that's typically what I wear most. I also wanted to find closet staples for the Fall + Winter. So while some of these may not seem wearable for July, come Fall, these will be perfect. I'm also giving away $1000 in Nordstrom gift cards to 10 lucky readers. Each reader will receive $100 to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. See all details on how to enter in the raffllecopter widget below. The $1000 Giveaway is now closed! Thank you to all who entered! xx Ashley  ...

They are currently one of my favorite brands for both shirts, shorts and pants. I own a few of their shirts and they just fit right. The length isn't too long, so you can wear it untucked for a more casual look. The slim fit doesn't add the bulk that many button downs do.   Paige Transcend - Federal Slim Straight Leg Jeans Sale Price: $132.90 After Sale: $199.00 I used to buy my jeans from either ...
