I am throughly enjoying my day off today by dressing up in one of my favorite vests ever. It makes me feel like a crazy cat lady like no other article of clothing does. It's a keeper!
Excuse my short absence the past few days: I've been working like a crazy woman. I worked a bridal show* booth for my place of employment on Saturday, went to work my normal closing shift, followed by an early-morning shift the next day, followed by an EXTREME tension headache last night. I don't mind though. With no school to go to anymore, I feel like a bit of a lost soul and need to be kept busy from getting moody and depressed (Fun fact #838: I get moody and depressed when I don't have enough things to do).
What are you up to this week? Are you going back to school? If so, can I live vicariously through you?
AND, shout-outs to Laura for a blog award and tagging me, and I was featured along with a few other kick-ass bloggers at Prada for Breakfast recently. Thanks you two! Be sure to check them out.
* I had never been to a bridal show before, and let me tell you: them some crazy bitchez. About 2,500 brides, all ready to attack. I was really surprised by how young everyone looked. I mean, I'm an open and accepting person, but shit. If you look younger than me, you officially are not allowed to get married. My first wisdom tooth hasn't even come in all the way yet. I did sneak the most delicious cupcake I've ever eaten off one of the exhibitor's tables, though, which I am about to go try and replicate in a minute (Fun fact #839: I am a damn good baker). It made the whole day worthwhile.

I think you look truly amazing, but weren't you really cold :O? OH And I think that purple dress is beautiful and looks amazing on you!
ReplyDelete♥
You're sex on the heels! I just needed to say that! :))
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! I really love your portrait your face is so beautiful!
u look great! but it looks freezing outside
ReplyDeleteAshley, you're gorgeous! That second photo is stunning, and I love the red lips. I love the polka dot tights, too - I really need to pick up a pair. Purple's not really my color, but it looks gorgeous on you, and the fur vest is such a great piece to have around. Although, it doesn't look very warm, haha.
ReplyDelete-Halie
Well, yeah that sounds good haha. I don't feel that much of the cold when I'm shooting pics, but feel like i'm frozen as soon as I stop haha. Hope you warmed up then after your shooting!!
ReplyDeleteI honestly don'#t know how you stand outside in such weather without a coat, I was struggling with pictures today, and we have no snow and I had long sleeves on! The dress is gorgeous however, I love the colour :)
ReplyDeleteL x
helloooooooo hot stuff! you are exquisite in that dress! i love the details on the sleeves.
ReplyDeletedo you want to write a business plan for me? i promise it will keep you REALLY busy while simultaneously boring you to death. ;)
u look stunning in these pictures hunny
ReplyDeleteamazing vest! I'm upset I didn't snatch one up in time!
ReplyDeleteAnd what were you doing at the bridal show? haha sorry, i havent been following you long enough to know about your day job!
LOVe the fur vest!
ReplyDeleteTamera xo

My first giveaway ends in just four days!
I want to run over to you and cover you with a big blanket! Not in a serial killer way. In a motherly/keeping you warm way.
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous. I love that color on you. It's one of my favorite colors. Not surprising. That fur vest makes me happy. I've tried them on and haven't been able to buy one. I'm not brave enough. You go girl!!
xo,
Tracy
Love the shoulders on the dress. And yay! We both wore furry vests. Must be something in the blogiverse - some shared need for fur.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. The photos were shot at a house in Essex which Pete, my photographer, hired for the shoot. I'm a lucky girl.
Amaaaaing outfit =) I loooove the fur vest so much =D But your shoulders must have been so chilly haha!
ReplyDeletehttp://xrebelangelx.blogspot.com/
ta robe est magnifique, et j'adore tes chaussures.
ReplyDeleteTrès jolies photos
Your skin is flawless! Gorgeous pics, love the outfit! XO
ReplyDeleteNo fair! You can't wear a pretty dress AND red lipstick. That puts the rest of us at too much of a disadvantage. You're so naturally beautiful that you should be required to wear burlap so we can catch up.
ReplyDeleteAnd, it bears repeating, your humor is the best in Blog World.
Gorgeous blue/purple. Hope you weren't too cold out there!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit, you must be FREEEEEZING though...haha....
ReplyDeleteJust work for me this week

love the bird detailing on the sleeve of your dress and your lips look so great
ReplyDeleteAngelina who???
Yours look fab!
Glad you are keeping busy, but don't over do it, those headaches are no fun
Yes girl those brides are INSANE!! I hope it doesnt scare you out of getting married, but I remember going to one bridal show and it was NUTS!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for this outfit, it is the BOMB! I love the purple on you and of course I love the fur vest HELLO! ITs hot!
AND I love that lip color on you! It is hot SH&%!!
Ohhh I can't wait for you to get your hair done! Please keep me updated!!!
XX
Oh yeah, and let me know how you like the makeup video after you watch it!!
Soo pretty.

You and your blog are so beautiful. I adore that vest over the dress, you must be cold, though! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I laughed when I read your makeup post a while back.. "who gets nostalgic over a pot of eyeliner?" Haha! Totally has happened to me before, no worries. I collected those smackers lip balms when I was a wee grasshopper and it took forever for me to get rid of the smelly hard old things. xD
Love the outift!! And the snowy background is perfect=)
ReplyDeleteI'm left almost speechless by the fact you look fantastic and not cold at all (though I'm sure you were) standing in all that snow in a short sleeved dress. I love the detailing on the shoulder, it's fantastic. I love the styling of this outfit and you look fabulous. I totally agree with needing to be busy...also thank you for the blog comment- better late than never & you weren't the only one today- the post was on IFB a week & a half after posting so it took a while for people to see. And I'm sorry people were so insensitive! (super long comment, sorry)
ReplyDeleteOh my God. You look absolutely stunning in that second photo. Seriously. You should print and frame it, it's that amazing.
ReplyDeleteOn an unrelated note, the thought of working a bridal show sounds absolutely terrifying. I got married recently and the (very) little exploring I did of online wedding resources lead me to conclude that all brides (except me, of course!) are insane and cannot be held accountable for their utterly bizarre actions. Glad you made it out alive!!
xox,
Cee
I love the sleeve detail on your dress! Also, yes, I am back in school and there's already too much to do!! Wanna trade? ;)
ReplyDeletewow, I love your outfit, it reminds of penny lane in Almost Famous (which is my favorite movie) :)

Loving your fur vest, it is so cute! And I get moody and depressed when I have nothing to do too, and it's so much worse since I've graduated!

The furry vest is one of my favorite super trendy items. I don't know about you, but when I wear mine, I can't help but sit there, stroking the fur absentmindedly.
ReplyDeleteAhhh yes, it is very close to crazy cat lady!
Chic on the Cheap
Loves the furry gilet! Bridal shows and bridal stores - these were exactly the things I avoided when getting married. 2,499 other brides all rushing in together?! Mare! (Is that a very Irish word? - I mean, nightmare!)
ReplyDeletexx Comtesse xx
ha! I know what you mean about all these young looking brides-to-be! I recently saw some wedding photos somewhere and all I could think were... Wowser, they look YOUNG!
ReplyDeleteYou're makeup looks fantastic in these photographs and that purpley color is great on you!
super cute! u have the most amazing skin! :)
ReplyDeletenatalieoffduty.blogspot.com
I love the look of the vest with the exposed shoulder!
ReplyDeleteAnd dude, brides are the craziest bitchez! I used to work at a consignment store that was down the hall from a bridal shop and the women who worked there were the most stressed-out people EVER because of the customers.
im cold just looking at your photos. grab a coat! lol. i bet the fur vest kept u warm. :) looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteto reply to your comment on my blog, i work as a payroll administrator at a construction office here.. been working for 2 years now and i havent really had a break after school. 2 years and im now getting tired of it. haha!! :) so i dont think (hopefully) i dont have to work til 80. that coworker of mine is a project manager though. lol.
