I took a day trip to go wine tasting and wanted to wear something cute and feminine. I don't own many skirts, but most of the ones I do are animal print so I landed on wearing this high slit leopard one. To push myself out of my black and white simplistic comfort zone, I took a risk by pairing the ski[...]
Spanx faux suede leggings are a fall staple I didn't know I needed until now. They are so soft, warm and comfortable. The texture of these is so luxurious and I love how it feels like there is built in tummy control. I felt supported without feeling constricted. Although they are faux suede, they have a lot of give and mold to[...]
Preppy fashion is making a comeback and I am living out my real Gossip Girl era dreams. While I hated wearing a uniform in my own school girl days, I could not help but jump on this trend. Plaids, tennis skirts, crisp cottons, platform loafers and boots...I am here for the return of this grungy 90s aesthetic. Here's s[...]
Being home most of the time in the midst of a global pandemic inspired me to be creative and experiment in a lot of different areas, particularly in the beauty department.

If you've read some of my posts on Authentically Ashley, the lifestyle section on my blog, then you k[...]
If you are an online shopper like me, you probably feel like this is how you wait around for the USPS truck to pull up. Recently, I have been focusing more on styling the existing pieces that already in my wardrobe versus buying new clothes all of the time. This outfit was already in my closet, but I bought a new coat and clutch t[...]
Spring has sprung, so you know what that means! A new season means new trends and a new opportunity for having fun with your wardrobe. This spring I plan on wearing bright colors and bold prints. I started by wearing this business casual look, featuring a bright orange top, houndstooth trousers, faux leather pumps, and a graphic bag. If[...]
I have recently come to the conclusion that I am not quite plus size at most stores, yet I am larger that the average sizes. This has made shopping a bit difficult for me and I now see that midsize fashion is a huge white space in the fashion industry. A lot of the times, the sizes 0X or XL are sold out and all that are left are 1X-3X.[...]
Sweats are a must for cold weather. Being comfortable and laid back does not mean you can't be stylish while doing so!
