Fog city









I've always loved fog, I think because it makes any photograph you take more interesting. Speaking of photographs, I'm thinking of writing another post like this, but I don't know what topics it should cover. So, if you have any ideas, let me know!

Time has been flying by. In about two weeks, I will be A) turning 21 for the first time ever (as opposed to the second time, you know), and B) vacationing in the warm wonderland of Arizona. This month has been going by really quickly. It's weird.

I've been into outfits with a slight 90's vibe lately. I'd like to think this outfit is a bit reminiscent of Shannon Doherty in Mallrats (circa 1995). I think it's okay, as long as you stay with the early 90's, grunge look. Not that tacky, weird shit. I had acid wash jeans when I was 4. They had an elastic waistband.

Dress: Urban Outfitters
Jacket: Eddie Bauer
Heels: KORS Michael Kors (or Michael by Michael Kors...what's the difference?)

  2. Love the fog, it creates such a starkness between the dull landscape and your floral dress. Beautiful pictures! Ooh hope you have a great time in Arizona, funny, for me this month is simply dragging on. The '90s were awesome (well, I was a toddler when they were happening, but still, they were cool) and your outfit vibes sound amazing. http://thearcenciel.blogspot.com/

  3. i love it. sad that everytime there's a thick fog here in vancouver, it's already too dark to take photos. either that, or it's too early in the morning and i'm already at work. hehe.. did u just brave out the cold and wore a dress? hehe, it looks cold...

  5. I like the idea of doing another photography post. I love advice posts like that, sometimes I do "Top Ten" posts, so I think that could definitely be good!

    love it x

  11. You look quite mysterious emerging out of that fog and breathtakingly beautiful as always!!!

    I also like your slow transition into spring with florals.....but keeping it balanced with some tough looking heels and that exposed zipper.

    I am just wondering....are you not cold?

  12. The fog makes these shots look dreamy. Have a great 21st. Is that the legal drinking age in the US? Here it is 18.

  13. You look so beautiful in these photos Ashley! I don't even know how to explain it - the photography looks different. And congrats on turning 21 sooon! I still have to wait like... 8 more months. Sigh

  17. Totally love fog, too. I guess that's why I'm so happy here in England... loads of fog! I totally understand that you have to try out the warm-weather dresses (and this one looks gorgeous on you), but I'm still very impressed that you wear them in these snowy (okay thawing) conditions.

    ReplyDelete

  18. I love your foggy shots - so beautiful. That dress is perfect and I really like your ring. And I agree, this month feels like it's flying.

    ReplyDelete

  19. Hey beautiful! I love how the fog really allows you to be the center of attention in these shots. The background is just a haze. They are eerily pretty. I love your floral dress in contrast to the melting snow. Makes me think of spring!

    ReplyDelete

  20. The fog does make these photos look so dreamy, and I love your dress! It must be freezing when you take the photos, but the outcome is great x

  21. Have a great birthday and the fog looks amazing in these shots.

  22. Your fashion-posts are always so impressive. Love the dress. The shoes and ring are truly bodacious. The whole ensemble clicks like a well-designed motorcycle.

  27. Do I need to say for the 100th time how much I love your blog, you, your clothes, your eyes, your "I don't take shit from nobody" look in the photos, your clothes, your taste, your writing and your amazing weather+forest? Oops, did it again! And YES we need more good advice on how to take pics (mine are cropped in all different shapes and sizes=blog disaster!!). How about pixels and sizes and HTML stuff?? I don't get any of those to be honest!!BTW my birthday is on the 2nd of March. When is yours? Have a lovely day!

  28. These photos are incredible! You look stunning!!

  29. Love this dress so much! Wow almost 21 that's great:D
    And compliments from my dad, the way you shot the pics. His hobby is photographing and he was looking over my shoulder when i opened your blog and het said; wow that's really a great picture!
    So i thought, let you know hihi.
    Have a nice sunday!

  30. it was my first time to encounter a fog yesterday and i was truly amazed. my hands were so cold i think they would crack. so awesome that you went in that fog with finesse.

    ReplyDelete

  31. That dress is super cute on you. It looks really cold though. I felt like a Mom when I saw that first pic. "Put on your jacket, young lady!"

    Yay for birthday and Yay for Arizona. I'm looking forward to our trip there as well. So ready to get away and be where it's super duper hot. Don't disappoint me, Arizona!

    Also loved the Shannon Doherty Mallrats vs 90210 reference. Genius.

    xoxo, Tracy

  33. I love everything you are wearing in this outfit Ashley, and I am especially all over that floral dress! Also, so many exciting things happening for you in the next two weeks, woot woot! Let's fast forward to the good times coming up! :D

  34. Love the look. I am ashamed to say that I had acid wash jeans in college!
    You should so send in an application for AR. My friend and I had planned out what we would and would not do. She was in charge of direction (b/c I suck at that) I would eat the weird stuff and we would pray there was no bungee jump. LOL
    Can't wait to watch later tonight!!!

  35. The fog lends a certain kind of quality in the photos, maybe a touch of whimsy!

    Beautiful!

  36. I love the combination of floral and khaki- such beautiful contrast. And the fog adds such an interesting dimension to these photos. You look particularly stunning in the second shot :) Happy early birthday!

  38. I would love another helpful post, you have great blogging advice. But I can't think of a topic offhanded. Love today's dress and, natch, the mysterious fog.

    ReplyDelete

  39. Gorgeous! I love the combo of uber-feminine floral dress with some edgier accessories. You look fantastic.

    ReplyDelete

  40. You look like the pretty flowers starting to crawl out of the cold because the colours on the dress are muted which is kind of fitting against the fog! Is it not cold without your jacket? :) I also noticed the earrings you have on that goes with one of the coloured flowers.

    ReplyDelete

  41. Oh hai, you look gorgeous, once again, as usual, and I will continue to say this because you manage to stay this good looking. I don't know how you do it, but you do!
    lol omg to the link to the "tacky, weird shit."

    ReplyDelete

  42. I agree with you, fog looks awesome in photos! Sadly, we don't get much of it here. I think I managed to nab one foggy photograph in the past two years, and it was from when I was visiting my parents in CT. Love your photos and especially love your nineties floral frock. Very stunning!

    ReplyDelete

  43. I love these photos! The fog sets a nice background. And of course I have to mention your dress - grungy or not it looks really pretty on you.

    21! You must be getting excited! 21 is the legal age in your state right? (Mine was 18.)

  48. I love slight nineties inspiration, but this just looks really cute, not throwback at all! but you always look hot. Damn you hot chick.

    also, turning 21 is kind of cool. Not half as depressing as turning 20 was.

  49. Hey Ashley, just wanted to let you know that I left you a blog award on my blog today.
