{Outfit Details}
Top: c/o fab'rik (here, TTS. I am wearing a small!) // Jeans: Articles of Society (here, raw-hem version here. Keep reading below for a coupon code to Macy's!) // Booties: Marc Fisher (here, runs TTS!) // Hat: Old Navy (here, under $25) // Sunglasses: Jessica Simpson (here, under $40 and my go-to sunnies lately!)
Happy Friday, friends!
As you may have seen on my Instastories, I shared last night that I have been sick with a stomach virus. I finally am feeling (a little) better and I wanted to share a fun fall #ootd with y'all tonight. 😊Also...keep scrolling because there are some awesome sales going on this weekend I wanted to share as well!
This fall floral top was sent to me by fab'rik and is part of the new fall Asher Collection. I absolutely love the mission behind this line. Each fab'rik item has a child who they donate proceeds to through Project 82 Kenya. Proceeds sold for the top I'm wearing above go specifically to Evans, (read about his story here), whose mother died during premature childbirth. He was supported through Project 82 Kenya, and when you buy the top I'm wearing above, you can help provide his basic needs! What is better than fashion that gives back?! Read more about the founding of the Asher line here.
One of the trends from spring I love is FLORALS, and I'm so happy to say that this print is being carried over into the fall in more of a autumn-inspired color palette. I love that this top has golds, blacks, and browns in it. While I paired it with some of my fave open-toed Marc Fisher booties, this top will just as easily look fab with some brown boots/booties as well to bring out the gold/brown shades in the top. Also...I posted on my Instagram page about this black Old Navy hat for under $25. It's a definite must-have fall item, and you seriously can't beat the price! What a fashionable way to hide a bad hair day, right? 😉
Now, I want to share some exciting weekend sales with y'all!
1. Macy's: Extra 25% off with code FRESH. Promotion ends 10/15 (Score my jeans from this post with this coupon code!).
2. Ann Taylor LOFT: Extra 40% off sale. No code necessary. Limited time only.

A New Way to Wear Your Favorite Scarf
October 9, 2017
{Outfit Details}
Scarf: BP (here, just under $20!) // Lace bodysuit: Soulmates at Dillard's (here, runs TTS) // Jeans: Express (here, size up) // Heels: Jessica Simpson (here, runs TTS) // Handbag: Louis Vuitton (here) // Sunglasses: Jessica Simpson (here)
Happy Monday friends!
I hope y'all are having a fabulous week so far. As the title of this post indicates, I wanted to write a post to share with y'all a new way to wear your favorite scarf. So far this fall, THIS leopard print scarf by BP has definitely been my fave! It is probably because it's a little lighter weight than most of the blanket scarves and we have yet to have super "cool" weather in TN so far. This scarf has gone with SO many outfits and I know it will be on constant repeat. Plus at the price, you really can't beat it!
In this particular OOTD I decided to change things up a bit and wear my favorite scarf as a belt. Who says you have to follow the rules in fashion and just wear a scarf around your neck?! That is one of things I LOVE (among many) about fashion: you can mix things up as you please and don't have to follow any rules! Do what makes you happy! On this particular day, it was a little too warm to wear this scarf in the "traditional" way, AND I was wishing I had a cute belt! So, around my waist this scarf went! 😉
It probably goes without saying, but the key to wearing a scarf as a belt is to make sure it's not too thick. This wouldn't work well with a blanket scarf. However, this scarf by BP is not too thick to loop through the belt holes of my jeans. I was super excited to play with a new way to wear a scarf!
What are some of YOUR favorite spins on classic fashion trends?! Leave me a comment below and let me know!
Thanks SO much for reading, dolls!

Goody's beYOUtiful Girls' Night Out Store Event Recap!
October 8, 2017
And a few pictures from exploring the city of Fayetteville, TN.....
{Outfit Details}
Top: c/o Goody's, by Hannah (here, $18, I went up a size to medium for a looser fit) // Leggings: c/o Goody's, Signature Studio (my exact pair not online but love these here for only $10) // Faux Leather // Jacket: Signature Studio at Goody's (here, currently on sale for only $50! Runs TTS) //
Booties: c/o Goody's, Rampage (here, for $40, runs TTS).
Hi friends!
If you follow along with me on Instagram (here) or Facebook (here), you may know that I was invited to host a "beYOUtiful Girls' Night Out" event to help celebrate the launch of the new Beauty Bar at Goody's, a part of the Stage family stores, in Fayetteville, TN this past Saturday, September 30th. At the event, I shared a fashion and beauty demo for fall (you can check out my videos on my blog's FB page)! I hosted the event along with Nashville blogger Brooke Webb of KBStyled (you can read her blog here) and we had a blast together. Best part of all, 10% of sales for the evening went to Christian Women's Job Corps of Madison, County, AL, Inc (check out their Facebook page here). I loved learning more about this wonderful organization!
As you know, one of the things I try to do here on my blog is show my readers that you don't have to spend a fortune to look cute, stylish and on trend. When I went shopping the week before my event at my nearest Goody's store, I was so impressed with how many CUTE trendy pieces they had that were affordable! The outfit I picked out to wear for the in-store event included some of my favorite trends for fall: leopard print (I have seen leopard print everywhere for fall...even in pants/leggings), moto jackets (the one I've linked and wearing above is SERIOUSLY so cute, I love the hood detail, and it's currently on sale for $50. It's excellent quality!), and booties (these are by Rampage for only $40. You cannot beat the price!). The sleeveless top I'm wearing underneath my jacket is SO comfortable and perfect for leggings because it covers your hips. I have already worn this top 2-3 times since the event! I think I may need more colors at only $18 each!
As you can see in the pictures above, I styled my mannequin in a camo jacket (shop it here), which is a huge trend for fall! One thing about camo is that you can really make it feminine, as I tried to do in the way I styled my mannequin at the event with pearls and heels (shop the heels here). Also, I layered a beige sweatshirt (shop it here) underneath the jacket that has girly ruffles and bows on the sleeves. Y'all know I'm a pretty girly girl so I love to make trends that have a tougher vibe softer with feminine touches.
For my beauty trend for the event, I wanted to show how a bold lip is a must for fall. The new Beauty Bar at Goody's now carries one of my favorite brands for inexpensive but amazingly pigmented lipsticks, NYX. I used the shade "Alabama" in the matte lipstick (shop it here) on my GORGEOUS model (who happens to be my wonderful cousin/best friend Jil; cannot thank you enough for always being there for me girl!). We also used a NYX palette "Perfect Filter" in "Golden Hour" (shop it here) for her eyes and applied the shades with a Eco Tools brush set (here). A great way to save $$ is to pick an eyeshadow palette that could double as a blush/bronzer. The warm shades in this palette work perfect for both eyes & cheeks!
Before my event, we had time to explore the downtown shops in Fayetteville and enjoy a lunch at a cute, old school diner called "Honey's." There is something so charming about a little Southern town; one of those places where everyone is SO friendly! We enjoyed browsing the cute antique stores and of course my hubby/photographer snapped a few pictures for the blog. I just have to say, I am SO blessed with the best family in the world and always having their support with this blog (or whatever dreams I pursue!).
I hope y'all have a fabulous week! Thank you as always from the bottom of my heart for reading and following along!
Ashley
Thank you to Goody's, a part of the Stage Stores family, for sponsoring today's post and collaborating for this event.
October Outfit Inspiration + Nordstrom Giftcard Giveaway!
October 2, 2017
{Outfit Details}
Top: Target (here, only $20! Runs a little small. I went up one size.) // Pants: Free People (here, Runs TTS.

They also come in blush!) // Handbag: Brighton Gifts (here, who doesn't love a monogrammed purse!? And you can also customize the colors/pattern).
Happy October sweet friends!
I first and foremost had this post already written yesterday to post today, but I wanted to add a statement about the tragedy in Las Vegas. I try to make my blog a happy place where you can come for fashion tips but also as a little "escape" from the tragedy of this world. However, nonetheless, tragedy still seems to strike way more often than we understand. My heart is broken for the victims, their families, the first responders, the city of Las Vegas, the country music community, and the US. This is just unspeakable and I am praying so hard for everyone.
Below is my post I was planning for today and I want to go ahead and share it with y'all to help spread a little love and happiness in the midst of tragedy. Keep reading to check it out....
..........
Can y'all believe it's already October!? I love this month for so many reasons including but not limited to....pumpkins, pumpkin patches, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin flavored candles, pumpkin pie....lol do y'all see a theme!? So to celebrate the TRUE beginning of pumpkin season, I thought I would share an outfit with y'all today that is inspired by a fall color palette.
This burnt orange color is absolutely perfect for fall. Moreover, this top is SO girly, which is what I love. The ruffles make a feminine statement. The swiss dot print is one of my favorites and is a subtle way to wear polka dots if you're not a big "polka dot lover" (I definitely AM a polka dot lover and love big bold prints). Not to mention it also comes in white. AND it is $20! Very reasonable. This is a perfect layering piece and can be worn under a blazer or jacket this fall. You can never have too many tops like this to be honest...there are so many ways to style them so you really get a lot of bang for your buck!
Moreover, I just have to say that I have been SO happy with my Free People denim purchases I've made lately. I had never worn FP jeans before, but in the past couple of months I have bought TWO pairs. That is seriously just a testament to how comfortable they are and how much I love the fit. Also....these pearl loafer mules were one of my favorite purchases from the #NSale. As with most mules, I would recommend going up 1/2 a size. I just cannot get enough of the pearl trend (it's the southern girl in me, I guess!?).
Now, I'm SO excited to announce a giveaway I have that starts TODAY! Keep reading for more details & be sure to enter....
This week I decided to team up with some of my favorite bloggers and bring you an amazing giveaway. One lucky reader will win a $725 gift card to Nordstrom.
