Gloomy Days

top: Forever 21. jacket: Tommy Hilfiger (similar). pants: H&M (similar). shoes: GoJane (sold out, but you can find them here). umbrella: unknown brand (found it the other day). watch: Nixon (like this new color!). bracelets: Forever 21.

Where am I living? There has been no ounce of sunshine for almost a week! Hello….don’t I live in the “Sunshine State”?

This crazy Miami rain brings crazy Miami humidity, and that only means one thing. Out of control, crazy hair for Ashley. It’s hard to want to do my hair when I know the minute I step out the front door, it won’t ever look the same. It’s a shame, especially with the crazy amount of hair I have. But when I do want to take that risk, my go-to miracle product is Moroccan Oil.

Now that we’re on the topic of hair, as you can tell, I didn’t go with my September craving for rich auburn hair. I went back to black! (and chopped off a few inches too). I realized that for Fall, dark hair is so shiny and healthy looking, I couldn’t resist…and I love it!

What do you think?

Crazy Week!

Hey guys! I really want to apologize for doing a “disappearing” act on the blog this week. I just started a new job at a PR/Marketing Firm and it’s been hectic! (I’ve also been getting over a bad cold) Buuuuuuuuut… I’m back! This week was a fun challenge for me and my wardrobe. It’s a new job, so I’ve got to focus on what to wear in the office and looking professional without taking away my style from the equation. What is simple and professional? A black shift dress and pearls. What is more Ashley? A cargo jacket and a statement pearl necklace on top of that simple dress! And that’s exactly what I did for today.

cargo jacket: Forever 21. dress: H&M. heels: Zara. purse: Michael Kors.

I’m so excited for this new job opportunity and I can’t wait to see where it takes me and all the things I learn on the way. I’m even more excited of coming up with a cool 9to5 wardrobe. Wish me luck!

Punky Brewster.

blouse: H&M. jacket: Love 21 (similar). pants: ASOS. (Love the matching blazer!) shoes: c/o Shoe Privee. bag: Hermes. accessories: Michael Kors Watch, David Yurman Bracelet, Forever 21 Bracelet, Forever 21 sunglasses (similar).

This has to be one of my favorite outfits ever. Everything about it expresses my 21st century Punky Brewster style. The casual/tomboy-ish-ness of the cargo jacket, the spunk from the floral, and the pizazz from the shoes. Perfection. I’ve recently become a follower of the floral pant trend. I know I splurged a little on these from ASOS, I couldn’t resist the print. BUT I did well in finding you a “steal” on a similar pair from Anthropologie. Yes, I know. You’re welcome. Now, can we please now focus our attention to what’s inhabiting the area south of the ankles?

These heels. are. amazing. Just got them in from ShoePrivee.com. It’s a shoe-subscription website that has a great collection of designer shoes at a VERY affordable price. All shoes start at $39.95. There’s no membership fees & FREE shipping. Hey now! Perfect for us frugalistas out there. Head on over to their site to check out their collection. You won’t regret it.

While meandering the streets of Wynwood (The art district in Miami), my co-worker snagged this picture of me. I love everything about it. The art on the wall, my outfit, and the candid-ness of the photo. I love this part of town. Everytime I visit, it’s never the same as I last saw it.
