The Teacher Diva

Instagram Lately No. 18

Happy (almost) weekend and Meet the Teacher day for my teacher friends! Today, I am sharing a little Instagram Roundup featuring a few recent outfit photos and some that didn't make it to instagram. If you are new to this monthly series, welcome! This is the spot where I share outfit details that you may have seen on instagram or instrgram stories. I always try to include fit & quality details, but feel free to comment below with any questions. I also have a "Shop My Instagram" feature on my site that shares real time instagram details for those who don't use Like to Know It. ...

The Most Flattering Moto Leggings

I think it's fair to say that every girl wants a pair of flattering leggings. But we all know, all leggings are not created equal. With many options on the market, it can be hard to narrow it down to the right pair. That was until I discovered these flattering  Moto Leggings. ...

My Favorite Boyfriend Blazer

There are few things in my closet that get more wear than my blazers.  I find them to be classic, versatile and a style that can be worn more than just in the office. This blush boyfriend blazer has been my favorite. ...

Pink Velvet Pumps

If you've followed my blog for a while, you know I tend to wear a lot of neutrals, black and denim. However, it's nice to add in pops of color once you've built a solid foundation of basics. These pink velvet shoes are the perfect way to give this rather simple outfit some "life".   ...

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.  ...

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  ...

A Weekend at The Omni Homestead Resort

Last month, Austin and I got to travel to Hot Springs, Virginia to stay at the beautiful Omni Homestead Resort for their 250th Anniversary.

Since posting on instagram and snapchat, several of you have emailed us with questions regarding this resort. I wanted to share a little recap with you and some tips we found helpful for planning our stay at The Omni Homestead Resort.  ...

Oversized Sweater & Boyfriend Jeans

If there's one thing I love wearing during the winter, it's a soft, oversized sweater. I picked this sweater up in NYC a few weeks ago and I have not stopped wearing it. Seriously, it's that good. I also bought it in beige too! I love wearing it with  my AG Jeans and leather booties for a cool, casual look.  ...

The Peplum Jacket

Happy Friday! Today, I am sharing a casual look featuring a recent purchase, this classic peplum jacket. This jacket is a fun spin on the ever so popular field jacket. I love the peplum detailing on the back and the feminine fit. This is definitely a piece that will get year-round wear in my book. Many of you mentioned that you loved these over the knee boots and they were just restocked and on sale. I wore them several times last year (more photos here, here and here) and will continue to wear them this season. They are a great looking boot (and surprisingly comfortable).  ...

Playing Favorites

It's no secret I love a good blazer. This boyfriend blazer by Topshop is  front-runner for me. The pop of pink is just the right amount of color and I am loving the relaxed-cool the fit. I paired it with this sleeveless turtleneck sweater and loved the textured look. I have been loving the sleeveless turtleneck trend (especially for Dallas weather) and this one is going to be the perfect layering piece.  ...
