I’m usually pretty simple when it comes to my hairstyle — I like loose curls, piecey layers and a somewhat "undone" approach to my everyday hairdo. But lately, I’ve had so much fun with hair bows and headbands. There’s definitely a trend we are seeing in wearing accessories like silk ribbons, scrunchies and headbands. Not only is this the perfect solution to second (or third) day hair styling, but it also offers a youthful feel without being too childlike. ...
Whenever August rolls around, the urge to shop for fall starts to kick in. While I’m definitely enjoying all things summer — breezy dresses and slip-on sandals to be exact — I’m also really looking forward to bringing out my cozy layers. Until then, I'm doing what I can to get the best of both. And this is the kind of jacket that will take you from now straight into September. The color, print, and fit are everything I look for in a jacket. ...
It's been a while since I've done a "one style, two ways" type of post and when I heard about White House Black Market's latest "Reversible Collection", I knew you would be just as curious as I was.
I've shopped at WHBM for years. In my mind, they have always been my go-to for a little black dress and classic pieces that would stay in my wardrobe for years. But more recently I've been drawn to their casual tops and denim (do you remember this pair - ah some of my favorite jeans ever). ...
Earlier this summer, Austin and I went to 30A with the Robertson crew. We had several of you ask for a travel guide on things to do, places to eat or where to stay, so it only made sense to put everything here in a blog post. My apologies this post has taken a minute to go live. Our home projects are in full swing and are taking up more of our time than originally expected. Funny how that goes, right? But I am happy to finally share a little guide from our recent trip to Rosemary, Beach. ...
The summer season is all about a little color on the lips and if you're like me, you tend to stick with soft pinks, peachy hues, and nudes. But what's the best brands to try for a longwear and hydrating formula? This is a question I get asked often and was actually inspired to write this post based on recent emails and DM requests. You'll often find each of these 4 lipsticks in my makeup bag and on rotation throughout the week.
So to take the guesswork out of your summer lip game, I've selected my tried-and-true nude and pink lipsticks for every occasion below.
I'm always curious to hear about other people's go-to's: do you have a signature shade that you swear by? xx Ashley ...

Oh Monday, you are here too soon! This month we are officing out of a building in downtown (more on that later) and I am honestly loving the change of scenery, being in a structured environment and getting daily views of downtown Dallas. Don't get me wrong, working from home has its perks, but I really do enjoy the grind of getting up, ready and working in a distraction-free space. Especially when such a big week is ahead, ahem Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. ...
Ok, I admit it. I have a thing for blazers. And if you've read my blog for a while, you know I'm all about layering. I am a firm believer in the "third piece" rule, no matter the season. And though it is crazy hot this time of year, I have 3 tips to help you layer, while keeping cool. ...
Happy almost Friday, friends! Many of you know we just got back from a week at the beach with the Robertson crew this past Sunday and boy was I in need of a little digital detox. Might sound intimidating but honestly, it was amazing to have zero screen time for 2 days and take a break from social media. How often do you unplug? I am considering writing a little post about my detox experience and if you have any suggestions, let us know below and I'll add them in the blog post!
During our trip to 30A, I wore this linen suit blazer & shorts and it was easily one of my favorite outfits from the week. Linen is such a quintessential fabric for summer and this little linen set is easy to wear and the neutral color makes it versatile to mix different tops underneath. I know linen can get a bad rap for getting *very* wrinkled and yeah, I was a little hesitant traveling with this set. But one tip I've picked up over the years is to hang up your clothes as soon as you can. Another thing we do is when we shower, I hang the clothes up in the bathroom and the steam ...
The time for sun-kissed skin is here! And there's nothing prettier than a fresh, glowing complexion. In the summer, I take the less is more approach. However, being someone who does struggle with breakouts and uneven skin tone, I do need some coverage.
My skincare always takes priority, but in the summer, I focus more on keeping my skin balanced, clear and continue to use my SPF (this spray is amazing). I'll share more about my skincare routine later, but for today, let's talk summer makeup.
Oh and be sure to check out my Instagram Stories for a video on how I use these products! I'll be adding it to my highlights once it expires in case you miss it. ...
