Who’s That Girl?

SPIN GALLERY

Spin Gallery bracelet & ring

For quite sometime I’ve been in the background and not being 100% with my biggest supporters. I’ve left some clues and hinted my way through, but never truly came out and told you.

I’m that girl. The Spin Gallery girl.

Wooh, there I said it!

You may have heard of Spin Gallery and you’ve seen me wear pieces from the store here on the blog, but where did it all come from? It first started in July of last year as a wild and crazy idea Adrian and I had. One thing led to the next and the ball started rolling. We officially incorporated July 4th of 2012. It will always be Independence day for many, but for us…it’s independence from the norm. There have been many sleepless nights, unending cups of coffee and lots of teeth grinding and hair pulling….but it feels so good to see the path that this crazy idea has led us down. Fortunate for one end, but unfortunate on my blogging end. I’ve been so busy building Spin that I’ve left AshleySixto.com hanging. But now that SpinGallery.com is looking so good (I’m biased, I know) and my name is attached, I can’t have my blog hanging no longer. So it’s time to dive in once again full force and bring this baby back to life. Hence, the brand new look! (Special thanks to my amazing friend Eddy – he’s the man for helping Adrian and I be able to see our vision come to life with the site).

Now…fast forward to this weekend:
I got together with my Spin Gallery team to shoot our newest collection: “Take Me Away” which is now available as of today!

Quick little snippet of the answer to many people’s question: Why Spin Gallery?

I wanted to be able to create a platform where girls like you and I could find the fashion solutions to our endless worry of “what do I wear and how do I wear it?” I wanted to once and for all cure the disease of “IHAVENOTHINGTOWEARITIS”. Think of SpinGallery as the best friend you trust when you need a unique outfit.

It feels so good to be able to share this GINORMOUS piece of my life. I can’t wait to continue this journey with you…

The Beginning of My Travel Diary Series: “TAKE ME AWAY”

With the Summer quickly approaching, the only thing that is on my mind is “What the heck do I pack?”. I’ll be out of town this summer for about 3 weeks, and I couldn’t be any more excited! I’ll be cruising the Caribbean for a week, then shortly after, jetting off to Spain for two weeks! Ole!

I wanted to start a travel diary documenting everything I do from places I want to see, things I want to do, travel essentials I must pack, outfits I want to wear, and posts about the ones I actually wear. This would be a great opportunity to collaborate with YOU on what are some of your travel necessities, go-to places and any questions you might have for me about what to wear on your summer vacation.

And on that note…let’s get things started:

TRAVEL1

My Notes:

*Comfy Tee: I always go for the simple, solid color tee when traveling for comfort and ease when cleaning if something were to get it dirty (which always happens). It also gives me the chance to spice up my look while staying in the comfortable boundaries.
Burnout Grey Tee via Topshop
Distressed Skinny Jeans via Forever 21
*Scarf: Scarves are always a good thing to keep in your bag just in case it gets chilly on the plane. It takes less space than a jacket would.
Tiger Scarf via Topshop
*Sneakers: I would personally wear sneakers on any kind of flight – easy to take off and slip back on when going through security. You can do it all in socks instead of going a-la-barefoot, which gross….really gross.
Nike Air Max 90 via Nordstrom (I’VE HAD A CLOSE EYE ON THESE – I NEED WANT!)
Leopard Passport Case via ASOS
*Sunglasses: I take a pair of inexpensive sunglasses in the case I misplace them, it wouldn’t hurt my wallet as bad. (but if you really fall in love with a pair like these, I suggest buying two!)
Sunglasses via Forever 21
Carry-All Bag via Gap (love this silver leather bag – kinda on the pricier side, but totally worth it! can double as a beach bag too)
Beats Headphones via Tillys
TUMI Carry On Luggage via Macys (In my dreams…)

I didn’t write anything about jewelry, because I keep it basic. Don’t want to lose or leave behind anything important at security. I wear my Nixon Watch, stud earrings and that’s about it.

 Can we talk about how drop dead gorgeous Olivia Palermo looks in Cannes? Yeah…Let’s not forget about her smokin’ arm candy Johannes too. Fun fact: If I had to chose who would be a huge inspiration style-wise, It would most definitely be Olivia Palermo. I love her sassy way of incorporating mixed prints, embellishments and elegance into anything she wears!

To bring these steal’s into adaptable “real life” I would totally pair it with this Spin Gallery outfit:

The sequin blazer adds that OP embellishment to a simple and sassy night time attire!
