Well another Fashion Week is in the books and I had a few questions regarding my trip, so I put together this little recap from my recent trip to NYC. I won't bore you guys with all the details, but I did want to share some of my NYFW highlights! ...
I love a good pleated skirt, especially one with a floral print! This Floral Box-Pleat Skirt (now on sale) is one of those skirts that can be worn with your favorite sweater (similar style) or silky blouse (budget friendly version). I love the versatility! I wore this around Charleston last week with these flats (identical version) and I can't wait to wear it again at NYFW ...
If there's one outfit I wear more this time of year, it's my striped blouse and cut off denim shorts. I love the simplicity and ease of this look. Especially during the Summer!
When pairing a blouse with shorts, I like the blouse to fit a little oversized or relaxed. This Striped Blouse (on sale!) from Banana Republic was perfect. I usually wear their "Dillon Fit" tops and like the modern yet classic fit. They tend to fit more relaxed which makes them ideal for tucking into shorts or pants. The best part? ...
Happy Friday! Any fun plans for Father's Day this weekend? I wanted to share this casual look with all of you and perhaps give you some inspiration for the 4th of July. I love this Navy Floral Blouse (now on sale) and have worn several times. It's the perfect amount of red, white and blue without being too over the top. You may remember me wearing it with these denim shorts [on sale and seen here on instagram] ...
It's no secret I love a good blazer. I typically incorporate one into my weekday and love to pair them with Boyfriend Jeans and a good pair of Heels for date night. I recently found this Pink and Navy Trim Blazer at Topshop while we were in London and could not pass it up. ...
I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend! We just returned to Dallas last night from our European Adventures and I must say, it feels good to be home. While we had so much overseas, it just feels nice to get back in the swing of things.
I wanted to share some pretty exciting sales with you all. Many retailers have significant discounts on some of our favorite designer pieces. My favorite is $40 off your purchase at M.Gemi (use code 'teacher diva' at checkout). I also love these Gingham Shorts and this Tie Waist Tunic. If you're in the market for a new wallet, the Tory Burch Sale is on point right now. I have my eye on the Serif-T Sip Continental Wallet. Below are my favorite stores listed that are participating in weekend sales. ...
I don't know about you, but I have been loving all things lace. From tops with lace trim to midi dresses, I am taking full advantage of this trend for Spring & Summer. This Crochet Midi Dress immediately caught my eyes a few weeks ago and I could not be more impressed with the quality and style of this dress. ...
There's nothing I love more than classic pieces I can wear throughout each season. You know, those basic pieces that just go with everything! I have been loving the "shirtdress style" and this Midi Shirtdress from the new BR Classics collection at Banana Republic is such a fun option. I love this dress because it can really be worn year-round. I can wear this now for Spring, but I also plan to pair this with a trench coat in the Fall. ...
Happy Leap Year! I hope you guys are enjoying your extra 24 hrs. I wanted to share this look from Day 2 at NYFW and some more information about our stay in New York. I've recieved quite a few questions about places to eat and stay while in New York, so I wanted to be sure and address those as well.
This year, we stayed at the Conrad New York. I absolutely loved this hotel and it's beautiful view of the Hudson River. If you saw my snapchats (username: the teacher diva), you know what I'm talking about! The rooms were spacious and the service was top notch.
Many of you asked, what does a blogger do during Fashion Week? Well, there are many different things to do as a blogger/press, but I would say the main goal is to give coverage for the brand and share the new collection with your audience. Whether it's sharing a video from backstage on Snapchat or a still image captured on Instagram, it's important to share those exciting moments for the brand. I love looking at what's happening backstage or see a preview of what's to come in the next season!
During our stay, we had many meetings and showroom visits in the midst of the shows and presentaions. This makes for a very busy few days, but creates an opportunity to build some amazing relationships and meet some incredible people! We decided to use
Good morning from Mexico! Austin and I are in Cabo San Lucas for the week, and I can't wait to share with you a fun project we are working on for The Teacher Diva. The weather has been simply gorgeous and I hope to have some fun beach and Summer content for you by the end of this week [be sure to follow along via snapchat (the teacher diva) or instagram to see more from our trip]!
Until then, I am excited to share with you this girly look for Spring. I love midi skirts, and when I was teaching I wore them often! They are surprisingly so comfortable and easy to move in. Whether you have a desk job or are on your feet all day, this Striped Midi Skirt would be a perfect option. I paired this outfit with my go-to lace up heels, however I've worn it with these scalloped flats (or these lace up espadrilles) and plan to wear it with flat sandals this summer. Stripes are always a favorite of mine and this skirt was no exception.
Thanks for reading! xx Ashley
