Ashley Goes to Prep School

top: H&M (similar). pants: Forever 21 (similar). sweater: Forever 21 via Shop The Closet. purse: Michael Kors. watch: Nixon. necklaces: Spike the Punch, Monogram – gifted by my best friend (similar style here). sunglasses: Karen Walker (loving this color too!).

Gossip Girl is back on today and I’m extremely ecstatic. Yes, it’s one of my favorite shows. Sometimes, I secretly wish I was a NYC Socialite parading the town in my fancy shmancy heels and outfits that cost a fortune. But instead I live vicariously through the lives of Manhattan’s elite in the comfort of my friends house drinking wine, sharing funny stories, and catching up…all while wearing this.

Funky Florals

blouse: H&M (similar here & here). pants: H&M (similar). shoes: Zara. purse: Michael Kors. glasses: House of Harlow.

There’s nothing like that feeling of wearing a brand new outfit. I did a bit of a shopping spree this past week. (You can’t blame me though.) The nearest H&M to me is almost 2 hours away, so when I decide to make the drive… I make it worthwhile. Hence the fact that you have been seeing more of it in my daily wardrobe.

I’m so in love with this floral print blouse. The versatility of it gives me the opportunity to throw it on with some jeans and heels like these or even with a pair of pants like the ones I have on in this outfit. I subtly snuck in the snake pattern and it fit together so perfectly. Maybe it’s because the shoes are just that amazing. It’s always fun to mix your patterns as long as you don’t go too crazy. Speaking of shoes!…. I’ve got a present for you: 40% Off All Shoes at House of Harlow! Use Coupon Code: 40OFF at Checkout!

 

You’re welcome. XO. Happy Thursday.

Doing the Polka on Twosday


top: H&M (similar & love this one from ASOS). jeans & red pants: H&M (similar). heels: Nine West. purse: Michael Kors. watch: Nixon. sunglasses: House of Harlow.

Peplum. The epitome of the lady like fit. I’ve never dabbled into the trend until now. Believe it or not, it’s my first peplum purchase. Try saying that three times fast. I couldn’t decide which way I liked better so I shot the top with two different styles. Toned down with distressed denim and funked up with matching red skinnies. While doubling up on outfit choices, I also doubled up on denim with my heels. Don’t they remind you a bit of Charlotte Olympia? Love that about these shoes. My own “steal” find.

Something Borrowed.

hat: given to me by my grandfather. (similar) top: Banana Republic via Goodwill. (similar) skirt: Forever 21 (similar skirt, different print). sandals: Steve Madden (old). purse: Forever 21. sunglasses: Forever 21.

The weather this weekend was absolutely…beachy. So what better timing to throw together a light and airy outfit with a panama-style hat? This hat actually used to belong to my “Abuelo Gordo” (aka: Fat Grandpa). Years ago when I was visiting him at his house in Spain, I couldn’t help but ask him every time he wore it if I could wear it instead. I think because I asked him so much, he just let me keep it. It’s a great hat! I love to wear it out to the beach or even days like this where I’m spending the afternoon shopping.

Thanks Abuelo!

Breaking the Rules.

top: H&M. jeans: H&M. shoes: Urban Outfitters c/o my beautiful friend Andrea. sunglasses: Karen Walker. accessories: Michael Kors watch, Forever 21 cuff.

In honor of the beginning of Spring, I decided to break the “rules” of the don’t wear white after Labor Day. Yeah, whatever. I live in Miami and the weather here is always tropical, so it’s hard to stop yourself from not wanting to wear your whites. It’s crisp, clean (unless you have the same tendency that I do to somehow dirty yourself), and fun because you have so much opportunity to give the outfit some personality. Like I did here, with these adorable snake loafers. If it’s not the shoes, it’s the accessories too. Check out 3 other ways I would pair the all white look with:

white top & pants

Look #1
ASOS Sunglasses
Steven by Steve Madden Crossbody Bag (This is my “steal” version of the Cambridge Satchel)
ASOS Floral Print Loafers

Look #2
ASOS Croc Laptop Case (Twofer: I would so use this as a clutch too!)
Nine West Heels

Look #3
MAC Lipstick
Jessica Simpson Wedges

Go ahead, give it a try. Break the rules & embrace it!
