Happy New Year's Eve Eve, dolls!
I am so excited to share this post with y'all today! We are actually in the car on our way to Savannah, GA for a fun NYE weekend (don't worry - hubby is driving while I blog lol). I know I don't normally post blogs on Saturday, but I had to share this look with y'all in case you're still looking for a NYE #OOTN!
So, let's face it, you can't go wrong with sequins for New Year's Eve (or any formal event for that matter). When I saw this black sequin number in H&M this week, I knew I had to buy it for our trip!!! One problem I have had with some sequin pieces in the past is that they are incredibly itchy. However, this dress is NOT itchy in the slightest!! It is completely lined, AND the dress is actually made of velvet (a huge trend for this winter) so it's soft!!! I love the look of a long-sleeve dress because it adds a touch of class, plus it's so cold out for NYE it adds a little warmth.
If I had a NYE party indoors to attend, I would definitely wear this dress as I have styled it in these pictures. This year, since we are actually going to be outside for a good bit of our evening on NYE, I am planning on pairing my dress with tights & boots. This dress is DEFINITELY versatile so don't shy away because it makes such a statement! Oh, and I paired it with simple jewelry so that the sequins can do all the talking! Haha!
If you follow me on Instagram (here), you may have seen where I got a bar cart as a Christmas present from my parents! I have wanted one of these FOREVER and when I saw this one at At Home, I decided it needed to make its way into our place! So far, I styled it for Christmas and placed it as a sort of "end table" at one end of our couch. But, for NYE, I thought I would show y'all how versatile a bar cart really is! You can seriously change the total look of it with just different accessories. For NYE, I had to throw on some sparkling grape juice, flutes, NYE hats/party favors, a NYE candle, and THE cutest NYE banner!!! If we were having friends over, this would be the perfect way to serve drinks as a sort of "drink station" to add extra, FASHIONABLE, counter space!!! I could not be happier with this purchase. I have linked an almost identical bar cart in the widget above, and also in the text underneath the pictures above!
SOOOO what are y'alls plans for NYE!? We are so excited to be in Savannah, eat lots of yummy food, and just be together to celebrate the upcoming New Year!!
Thank you SO much for reading and following along with my blog. I love you ALL!!!!
XOXO

Hi dolls!
I hope everyone had an absolutely wonderful Christmas! We loved spending time with family and our closest friends the past few days. Nothing like a holiday surrounded by your loved ones to make you realize how blessed you truly are!
So now that Christmas is over, the countdown to NYE is officially ON! New Year's Eve is another one of my favorite holidays of the year! It is so much fun to ring in the New Year with the one you love most. Today, my hubby and I booked a spur of the moment trip to Savannah for NYE and we are SO excited!!! With that being said, if you have any recommendations on places to eat/things to do in Savannah, send them my way! We can't wait!
Since NYE is just around the corner, I wanted to share a look that would be perfect for a more low key NYE celebration. My motto for NYE is usually "the more sparkles/glitter/sequins, the better" but for this post, I wanted to showcase another look you can wear on NYE if you aren't a huge fan of sparkles, but still want to wear a cute outfit. The faux leather skirt, OTK heeled boots, and the hot pink add a little FUN to this look! This sweater is one of my absolute favorites this season. I sized up to a Medium for an off-the-shoulder look. I am also convinced every girl needs a faux leather skirt in her closet. I have styled mine SO many ways this season (see another way I styled this skirt HERE) and it seriously can be styled with so much. Since the skirt is more form-fitting, I decided to pair it with a more oversized look on top to balance out the fitted skirt.
So what are YOUR plans for NYE!? Leave me a comment and let me know! Also, stay tuned for more NYE outfit inspo later this week! Thank you SO much for reading, dolls!
XOXO,

A Casual Christmas Look!
December 21, 2017
{Outfit Details}
Dress: Old Navy (my exact print is sold out, but this is my exact style here!) // Sweater: H&M (here, wearing a size M for a more oversized look!) // Boots: Nine West (old, no longer online but similar here!) // Leggings: c/o Berkshire (here ; see another way I styled these leggings here!) // Watch: c/o Daniel Wellington (here, love this watch so much! I have the 32 mm size. Be sure to tune into my Instagram tomorrow for a discount code for 15% off!!)
Only 4 more sleeps until Christmas, y'all!!!
Who else still has presents to wrap!? If y'all could see through my screen, you would see me raising my hand high lol. We have Christmas parties & get togethers all weekend, so I better get to wrapping tomorrow!! Anyway, I wanted to share another Christmas look with y'all tonight if you're looking for some Christmas #ootd inspiration (see my other holiday looks I have styled here, here and here)!
For this look, I decided to go a little more casual because if you are like my family, we tend to have a more casual lunch/dinner on Christmas Eve/Day! I am just so in love with plaid for Christmas, and when I saw THIS dress at Old Navy, I knew it had to make its way into my wardrobe and it would be perfect to style for a Christmas look. I added one of my favorite H&M sweaters HERE for a layered look! I think it gives a touch of prep to layer a solid colored sweater with a plaid dress. Plus, it breaks up the monotony of a solid plaid dress and adds a new texture to the look! To see another way I styled a plaid dress before, check out my look HERE (would also be so cute for Christmas - instead of white, add a red sweater!). To add even more interest to this look, I once again added my fave Berkshire polka dotted leggings - seriously too cute with plaid right?! Be sure to stay tuned to my Instagram account tomorrow for a discount code for my gorgeous Daniel Wellington watch. I seriously have been wearing it non-stop!
I also wanted to say a little side note about posting so much red lately. Of course I have been showing so much red because nothing says Merry Christmas like red, but I also just wanted to say that my precious Mawmaw's favorite color of all time was red. She passed away in 2008, but I still think of her so often and miss her tremendously! I wish I could talk to her and wish she could meet my husband because I know she would love him. She had such a sweet, gentle nature and was such a woman of God. She LOVED Christmas and truly celebrated the REAL reason for the season and the birth of our Lord & Savior! Anyway - side note but just had to share why red really is special to me this season and always!
Thanks so much for reading dolls!!! I will check in one more time before Christmas...be sure to stay tuned to my Instagram HERE for all the holiday fun I am up to! Love y'all!!!!
XOXO

Christmas Outfit Inspiration: Tulle, Plaid, & Red Bow Heels!
December 19, 2017
{Outfit Details}
Plaid Blouse: Old Navy (here, on sale for $12!!! Old Navy has some of my absolute fave plaid shirts every year. This one is the perfect Christmas plaid! I sized up to a M for a longer fit) // Tulle Skirt: c/o Shabby Apple (no longer online, from a while ago! Linked similar skirts here, here, and here that is only $23!)// Heels: Jessica Simpson (here, runs TTS, obsessed with these! In "Holiday Red" - so appropriate) // Leggings: c/o Berkshire (here, love the polka dots!)
Happy Tuesday, sweet friends!
The Christmas countdown is ON! Only 6 more sleeps until Christmas!!! So tonight, I thought it would be appropriate to bring y'all some Christmas outfit inspo.
There is nothing more classic than a red plaid shirt for Christmas! This time, I wanted to "fancy" up my plaid by adding a tulle skirt & BEAUTIFUL red bow heels!! Or rather, maybe I wanted to make my tulle skirt more casual by adding the plaid. Whatever way you look at it, don't be afraid to mix and match items in your wardrobe to create fresh new looks! I love tulle around this time of year - it gives me total Nutcracker ballerina vibes (I used to perform in that ballet as a kid, so I have always loved it!). Can we talk about these gorgeous Jessica Simpson heels!? Nothing is more festive than "holiday red" bow heels (available here, also in 2 other beautiful shades)!!! They are perfect paired with these Berkshire polka dot leggings! Polka dots & plaid, count me in!!! I am still finalizing my Christmas outfit, but this would be perfect for a nice holiday dinner on Christmas Eve or Day! And...if you order by tonight this plaid blouse will arrive in time for Christmas!
Have y'all wrapped up (haha! no pun intended) your holiday shopping yet? I have finally finished....now I have to wrap all my presents!!! :) If you're looking for some last minute ideas, check out my gift guide HERE.
Thank you SO much for reading; it literally means so much to me! I will be showing you another holiday outfit idea soon (a little more casual) so stay tuned for that!
XOXO
Ashley
