Love it. Buy it. Share it. Trace it.

Okay, so majority of you are here because 1. you love shopping 2. you love all the shopping I do. So what better way to introduce to you my new favorite app: Trace.

Trace is specifically designed for sharing all the things we shop, which is perfect for all of us…well…because…we love shopping. Listen ladies, the first step to recovery is acceptance.

Hi everyone, my name is Ashley and I’m a shopaholic. Guilty. So what? sue me.

Trace makes it a million times easier to scope out what my friends or favorite style influencers are buying and where from and perhaps make a similar shopping choice! So why not give it a try? It will only hurt your wallet, which I’m sure is already hurting.

Can’t wait to take you all on my fun shopping adventures via Trace! xx

BARCELONA: DAY 1 (We’re Engaged!!)

BARCELONA ENGAGEMENT

It’s hard to adjust to “normal life” when you’re coming back from the most amazing trip ever. After being in Marbella for already a week, we jetted off to Barcelona for a weekend getaway the both of us will never forget and I will keep it in my heart forever. We had to visit some websites to get to know the best tours available for us, so that we could tailor our trip ourselves. The above shot is the view from our rooftop balcony in our hotel room (which made this trip even cooler) right before a celebratory dinner. But now let’s rewind and take you through the whole day leading up to what I know you want to know most about: Our Engagement.

Pictures don’t do any justice to the amazing architecture in Barcelona. This is a picture inside the Catedral de Santa Maria del MarBARCDAY1-3

All the streets and alleyways had so much character day and night. I loved walking through them seeing all the cute and quaint balconies.

After catching the bus, we arrived to Parc Guell. What I thought was a “park”, hence the choice of mini-dress attire, was a gorgeous mountain with beautiful flowers, mosiac details and funky architecture. I’m surprised I didn’t fall or bump into a wall because I was looking around in awe the entire time.

BARCDAY1-8

Adrian and I climbed all the way to the top and sat together to take in this view of sunny Barcelona. I was sitting there just thinking how amazing our day was already and the day hadn’t even ended…it was just getting started.

Adrian took the opportunity of us being on the top of the mountain, just the two of us, to casually say this was a perfect picture opportunity to not move or look back “you’re in the perfect spot”.

BARCDAY1-9

After hearing the camera click a few times, Adrian asked me if I wanted to see the photo, so I immediately turned to see this “perfect shot” and there he was….behind me on one knee. Caught by [extreme] surprise I froze and began to cry because I knew exactly what was about to happen….”Ashley, will you marry me?”

I cried. I laughed. I jumped on him and gave him the biggest hug. I cried some more. I almost forgot to say yes!!!

I said yes. He put the ring on and said the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard in my entire life and we just stared at the ring and at eachother and looked out at the view.

What I thought was the best day…just got A MILLION TIMES BETTER. We’re engaged. A dream come true and I can’t wait to start the rest of my life with my hunk of a fiancé!

Favorite 12 of 2012

This year has been full of adventure, to say the least. I started Repurposed, in the works of building my company and blog, started a new job… laugh, cried, loved, and laughed a little more. I wore a lot of leather, mixed prints, peplum, and tried out funky lipsticks. I bought my first pair of high-fashion designer shoes, bought a million more shoes, and wore a lot of camo and cargo.

It’s been a great year, but with the end of 2012 comes a new beginning: a fresh start, a new take on life, fun surprises, and so much more. Can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store for me!

I want to wish you all a beautiful Happy New Year! Have fun!

But for now, let’s take a look back at some of my favorites on the blog from this year.

GOODBYE & HELLO.

Today marks a day I always dreamed about as a little girl. No, I’m not getting married today. After 7pm tonight, I will have officially given my last “final presentation” of my college career. It has taken me all this semester to work on this one project and today is the day I can finally say, “I’m done!” and recover from sleepless nights and stressful deadlines. I cannot contain my nerves and excitement. I’m on a rollercoaster of emotions!

By next week today, I would have already graduated from college and on my way to start my new job! I’m so excited for what my days to come have offered for me. So blessed to have my family and friends, and my readers supporting me throughout this great journey! Thank you all XOXOXOXO.

 

I’m off to my last class. Wish me luck!
