6 Leopard Print Pieces You Need this Fall

Well, look at this — not one but two leopard-print posts in a week. Please tell me you're not over it because I am certainly loving this trend. When I was in NYC for Fashion Week, I wore this Leopard Print Midi Dress with these Golden Goose sneakers and it was hands down the most comfortable outfit of the entire week. Shoot, I was guilty of wearing this exact same getup twice (actually three times) last week and I am not ashamed to admit it. If you're into it, here are 6 of the best buys in fashion’s favorite print. Enjoy! x Ashley ...

Trend Alert: The Dad Sneaker

After spending the past week in NYC, there was one trend I was happy to partake in: the dad sneaker. Now don't get me wrong, I was hesitant at first to jump on board with the chunky, white sneaker straight out of the 90s. But as you know, the 90s trends are back and if there's one thing we can agree on, sneakers are quite comfortable. This pair is from the new Nordstrom x Nike pop up and works for both athleisure and style. I wear them with leggings to walk Lucy around the block or with a midi dress or satin skirt to grab lunch with Austin. ...

What I Wore To NYFW

Happy Monday, friends! I just got back from New York Fashion Week late Thursday night and spent the weekend taking a digital detox. After being gone on work trips for nearly 2 weeks, it felt good to unplug for a couple of days. We spent the weekend packing, working on Ashley at Home and tying up loose ends on a few of our upcoming projects. So not much relaxing going on over here but it feels good being back in the swing of things.  ...

5 Ways to be a Tourist in Your Own City this Fall

Dallas is an incredible city and I feel so lucky to call it home. We have a great food scene, beautiful neighborhoods, and arguably some of the best shopping. And though I love the hustle of New York City and San Francisco, this is a perfect place for us to call home. But sometimes, Austin and I struggle to get creative when it comes to dates or things to do on the weekend. We have our typical "dinner and a movie", which I honestly love, but there are times when you want to mix things up a bit. ...

My Favorite Trend from the 90s with eBay

          Let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we? The 90s was a time of the chunky sneakers, lots of denim (I still love my Levi’s) and of course, graphic tees. While I wouldn't like to revisit some of the trends, there's plenty that I’m glad to see making a comeback. Plaid, oversized denim jackets, men's inspired blazers, and graphic tee’s to name a few. ...

The Hair Accessories I Want to Try this Season

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.  ...
