Minnesota Beach Ashley






I don't really like these pictures, but getting them involved my boyfriend kneeling literally balls deep in the lake (with my camera, no less. Talk about dangererous!), so up on the blog they go. We spent Wednesday wading around in the lake. Wading, because apparently I have forgotten how to swim (I guess it's not like riding a bike). And I guess we didn't really spend all of Wednesday wading in the lake. It was more like an hour and a half, since our water experience was cut short when I noticed a fish floating a few inches away from me. That means it's dead, folks. That means I squeal like a little girl and run out of the water. That means it's time. To. Go.

Anyway, the Minnesota Blogger's Meet-Up is today, and I'm already running late. Gotta make myself look fancy and then get on the road! Have a great weekend, y'all. Hopefully my next post will be about my meetingz with all my lovely homegirl bloggers. Stay tuned!

  5. Look at you, showing off that rockin' bod! ;) You look amazing! I love that picture of your face too, with your hair blowing around. So freakin' pretty. The shorts are great! And oh my goodness, wading in a lake sounds so fun! I wish there was a decent lake around here. M and I recently went wading in a DITCH.

  7. Oh fun, the water looks great. Love the shots, and the fact that it looks like it was a great day.

    A dead fish in the water? now that is weird...and fishy, -ha!

    I really look forward to your next post about the bloggers meet-up, sounds exciting!

  8. I just found your blog; I really like your pictures and how simple and beautiful they are.

  11. Guys... can Ashley take a bad picture? No, certainly not. Her worst shots are better than my best ones.

    The second picture is a beautiful casual portrait. The kind of magical image that lingers in your mind as you remember the girl you once loved before you went to war...

  12. Dead fish, oh dear. Cute outfit and loving the blue dress from the other day xx

  15. Lovely photos!
    Love your top, American Eagle is the best!!! <3

  16. Dead fish or not, at least it probably felt good to get out of the heat haha! I love jean cutoffs for summer (or anytime it's warm out)! Have fun at the meet-up!:)

  17. That second photo is gorgeous.

    I would probably cry if a dead fish floated at me in the water... that is usually a sign of water pollution and I would freak out. Granted, I don't know how to swim so I avoid lakes, etc...

    These photos are really lovely though and you look hawt. Yes, I did just spell hot like that. Uh-huh.

    XO Michelle

  20. I personally think you look damn hot! I'm pretty shameless about not posting photos that don't live up to my expectations though...bf just has to do better!

    Blogger meetups are great.. hope you had fun!

  21. How did the meet up go?

    You look so cute in cutoffs! And I love the close up shot so much!

    I will be going on a beach vacation in August and we shall see if I can remember how to swim. I can't really stand going into water that I can't see through, so I may only swim in the pool.

    xoxo,
    Tracy

  24. Dangerous waters for you, the bf and sadly for the fish too! Love the polka dot-top-under-the-shirt look. Have fun at the meet up.

  25. Hi Ashley! We must have missed each other at the MN blogger event! Next one maybe! Following your blog now, lady! lovely phots! great style. <3 rubygirlblog.com

  26. Seriously hate the idea of a dead fish floating near me. I have a love hate relationship with the sea. Love the tan it gives me, hate the shivers I get at the idea of the weird creatures that live in there.

    You look beach chic Ashley :)
