Happy Sunday, dolls!!!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! Hubby & I enjoyed some relaxation & spent time with family (and each other!). It is nice to just take it easy & be together.
I'm going to make this a quick post tonight, but I just wanted to share with y'all one of my favorite purchases this season: this purple leopard print dress! I bought this on my H&M haul a couple of months ago, and it has proven to be one of my favorite dresses in my closet. When I saw it in the store, I thought...."oh, it's leopard print...but even better, it's PURPLE leopard print!!" lol. I mean needless to say, I do not have many (i.e. ANY) purple leopard print in my closet. I love that it's a soft shade and in being pastel, it does not cross the line into tacky! This dress is light-weight so would be perfect to layer on a chilly day with a sweater or blazer on top. Since it's a thinner material, I am actually planning on incorporating this into my NP wardrobe & style it with my white coat!!! Oh...and the best part of all??? It is currently on sale for TEN dollars!!! Woohoo! Be sure to click the link in the picture caption or in the widget to shop it above!
Thank you SO incredibly much for reading, dolls!

Happy FriYAY friends!
Who else thinks that FRY-day is the perfect excuse to eat some fries from Chick-fil-A!? I literally had that conversation with my Mom today in the drive-through line; I feel like it's pretty sound logic-haha! 😜 Ok back to this blog post.....
I'm super excited to share this look with y'all tonight on the blog. Last weekend it was a SUPER chilly, rainy, and dreary Saturday so I was ready to brighten it up by breaking out this beautiful mustard yellow chunky knit from H&M. If you follow me on Instagram HERE, you know that my local hometown of Chattanooga had its grand opening for a new H&M store yesterday. I arrived 2 hours before the opening and it was definitely a big party, there was a DJ and even cookie cake! Talk about fun! H&M is one of my all-time favorite go-to stores for budget friendly, yet on trend fashion.
I actually bought the sweater in this #ootd from the H&M in Charleston, SC on our trip and it was $34.99. So I am in looooove with this sweater for many reasons....the first being the COLOR: mustard yellow is one of my faves for fall (as you can tell in this post here and here). I also love that it's a chunky knit so it's cozy and perfect for colder weather. Moreover - the length is PERFECT! It is long enough to cover your hips, and perfectly acceptable to wear with leggings. The ideal sweater, right!?
Since it was raining, I completed my rainy day style with 2 must-have accessories: a beanie and my favorite rain boots. This beanie was a hit last year and I'm happy to say it's back (and fully in stock!) again this season. A beanie is a must for a rainy day to hide any frizz that sometimes my hair likes to have in the rain, haha! Also, a rainy day is the perfect excuse to wear one of my favorite pairs of Hunter rain boots. I also love the boot socks with them; they are fleece so they are extra toasty for a chilly fall day!
Thank you SO much for stopping by and reading! I hope y'all have a FABULOUS weekend!!
XOXO,
Ashley

Hi dolls!
I seriously can't believe how fast time is literally flying by (which is fine by me because that means our wedding day is even closer...😍 swoon...). Between school, clinicals, wedding planning, spending time with family, & working on some blogging projects coming soon, life has been busy, but I feel so blessed 💕
The look I'm sharing with you today is one of my favorites for a date night, or a night out with friends! There is just something about fringe that is so sassy and fun, which translates into being perfect for the weekend, am I right!? This is a skirt I bought a couple of years ago at Dillard's and is by the CUTEST brand called Chelsea & Violet. I actually purchased it for a Kip Moore concert with my friends and it's been the perfect staple piece in my wardrobe ever since (not to mention it's great to wear while rocking out to some country music, one of my favorite past times, lol 😂). It's definitely a fabulous transition piece from winter into spring as you can pair it with a sleeveless top & throw on a leather jacket, as I did here! For an edgy look, it would be SO cute paired with Converse sneakers or OTK boots!
I decided to go for a monochromatic look for my OOTN, but added color with my pop of turquoise in my necklace, red lips, and of course, the ever so timeless leopard print. I absolutely love these Sam Edelman pumps I scored at TJ Maxx & I find myself pairing them with so many things (see another way I have styled them here). Leopard print heels are another closet staple for me! Not to mention, I think they really added to the "fun" vibe of this outfit. Fringe + leopard print = a winning combination in my book! And that, ladies & gents, is my kind of mathematical equation...haha!
I hope y'all have a fabulous week. Thank you SO much for reading; I appreciate each & every one of you! Be on the lookout for some fun projects coming soon to APFF!
XOXO

Happy 2017 dolls!
I am extra excited for this new year because it is our wedding year! It can't get here soon enough (even though we do have a few things left to do!). How was y'alls NYE!? We spent our evening with friends, eating yummy food & playing games. It was our idea of the perfect low-key but super fun evening!
So the look I'm sharing with you today is one I wore when my fiancé and I went to take care of some things on our wedding to-do list (like pick out his tux. My friends all joked he needed to make a picture with the "I said yes" sign like I did when I picked out my dress. "I said yes to the tux!" should totally be a thing, right?! haha!). Anyway, this outfit of the day features leopard on leopard print (double the leopard = double the fun, am I right?). I have always loved the way leopard print looks with all black (remember my Holiday Party look here? A dressier version of black + leopard print). It adds some excitement to an otherwise monochromatic outfit.
The beanie I'm wearing is THE famous BP leopard print one that you've probably seen already. I have found myself wearing it with multiple outfits this past season! I highly recommend buying one (and at only $15 you can't beat the price). It comes as no surprise that the ease of styling leopard is because it has 2 of the neutrals in it, black & tan. Soooo that's why you'll hear people (like myself) say that leopard print IS a neutral! It's so totally true. The scarf I decided to pair the leopard beanie with is from Charlotte Russe and was only $5. I just randomly picked it up one night when my fiance and I were out shopping because...hellooooo...I'm pretty sure there's a rule that anything that's $5 and cute, you have to buy! I thought it was a fun look to pair the scarf with my leopard beanie since the patterns didn't match exactly, but the colors complemented each other. I also like the way the larger leopard print pattern of the scarf looks with the smaller leopard print pattern of the beanie.
The BP sweater I'm wearing has been on repeat as well this fall & winter seasons. It's long enough to be worn with tights, which is an added bonus! I have it in this shade and also hunter green. It's a definite wardrobe staple, and the perfect layering piece with puffy vests, like I'm wearing in my #ootd above. I am pretty much obsessed with layering!
Thank y'all so much for reading! Have a fabulous Monday, dolls!

Moto Jacket, Leopard & OTK Boots!
October 20, 2016
{Outfit Details}
Moto Jacket: BP. (here) and ON SALE for 40% off!!
Clutch: Purple Peridot (here)
Boots: Target (no longer online, similar here)
Lips: Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayon in Fraise (here) + Make Up For Ever Artist Plexi-Gloss in color 403-Red (here). These colors are OBSESSION!
Hi dolls!
Can I get a "woohoo" that it's almost Friday!? Today I'm sharing with you another one of my favorite fall looks. A few weeks ago when I was in Nashville for school, I went shopping at Nordstrom & their BP. collection is seriously OBSESSION. I saw this moto jacket and I HAD to have it. Moto jackets are totally on trend this season and are SO versatile. Pair it with a dress to make it more casual or jeans to add some edge to your outfit. The BP. one I'm wearing above has the cutest zipper & gold button detail (I always have & always will love black & gold together!). Not to mention it's also light-weight so it's been perfect for this awkward "transitioning" period we've had in TN (translation: the cool mornings and then the temps rising into the 80's by the afternoon). Oh, and at the time I'm writing this post, it is currently 40% off!!! Such a steal!! (Nordstrom offers free shipping as well...get on this deal ladies! ;)).
So, let's talk about this leopard print fold-over clutch. In my book, leopard print IS a neutral! Don't be afraid to mix leopard with other patterns (as I mixed it with plaid in this post and I also love the way leopard looks with classic black & white stripes). The key is to make sure you have some of the same colors in the prints your mixing to pull the look together (i.e.: tan or black in the other pattern so it ties in with the leopard print). I also love that leopard can add an instant pop to a monochromatic look just as it does with my all black OOTD above. I have been crushing on THIS Clare V. foldover clutch forever and while I love the original one, when I saw this dupe by Purple Peridot go on sale for $20 online last week, I had to order (currently it's $30)! If you haven't heard of Purple Peridot, it's one of my fave online boutiques that offers adorable jewelry/accessories for a very reasonable price (and only 99 cent shipping). Check them out now, you will definitely find something you love!
Finally, these OTK boots are some of my favorites. I bought them last year & I love how the zipper on the back adds a unique touch (not to mention the zipper ties in with my moto jacket & also the zipper on the clutch!). I love when one unique detail can pull together the whole look!
I'm also super excited to announce that tonight at 8:30 EST, I will be participating in an Instagram giveaway with a few fabulous bloggers!!! Be sure to head over to my Instagram page to enter tonight!!! Thanks so much for reading dolls, have a stylish day!
XOXO
Ashley
