Maroon + Lace

Hi lovelies.

Today I want to share with you this gorgeous maroon lace

top from Marshall's. I absolutely love the details on this, 

especially the neckline. I don't think I've owned this 

shade of maroon before and now I want to buy more

items in this color! I decided to pair the top with booties,

brown purse and gold jewelry. Oh, and my lipstick may or

may not match....;-)

Transitioning Into Fall

Hello!

Today I want to share with you how to transition any dress from

Summer to Fall. If you're like me, I practically live in dresses 

therefore my collection is huge. Instead of shoving my dresses

in the back of my closet, I like to incorporate them into my

Fall wardrobe. With a few style tricks, you can easily

transition any Summer dress into a Fall look.

This dress is perfect for Summer, right? 

It's short sleeved, knee length, and looks great 

with cute wedges. What's also great about this dress is

adding in a few accessories for an instant new look.

A jean jacket or cardigan, floppy hat and 

booties can completely change the outfit. Any form

of jacket automatically creates a sense of 

coziness, which is great for chilly weather. Adding in

neutral tones: floppy hat, booties, etc. gives

 a warmth vibe and tones down the overall look.

Fall is my ABSOLUTE favorite season and I can't wait 

to transform more dresses into my wardrobe.

New York Minute

Hi world!

Today's post will be showing off what I wore in NYC.

NYC is one of my favorite places to travel. It's busy streets,

mixed cultural and endless amount of scenery makes for

one whirlwind of a trip. Even though I've crossed off all the

major tourist spots { including Christmas time in NYC } there

always seems to be SOMETHING to see or do, which is what I love
about the city.

Once again, I snagged up another maxi { surprise } and

absolutely adore it. I don't own a maxi that has short/flowy 

sleeves, which is one of the reasons I purchased it.

 I also love all the colors in it, it's more a of warm-toned

maxi, making it perfect to transition for Fall. I must say, 

this may be my new favorite dress right now :) 

Sincerely,

Ashley Nicole

Desk Organization Tips

Hello, Hello!

Today I want to share with you my cubical at work.

I absolutely love decorating and being organized.

If I'm already spending 8 hours at a desk, I want to enjoy

my space and for it look cute, right? I'm all about keeping things

clean and tidy. Everyone is different however I work much better in a 

non-clutter environment.  Below are a few photos of my desk, enjoy!

First off, I love having a cute background on my 

computer. It makes me happy to see bright and cheery flowers 

every time I pull up the screen. I also stray away from multiple icons 

on my desktop, as they can become cluttery and can take away 

from the background picture. 

As for drawers, I like to keep desk items { tape, scissors, paper clips } in these black organization containers. It helps keep everything in one place and clears off space on your desk.  Call me crazy but I like to keep a survival drawer. It's where I keep my own stach of paper plates, silverware, snacks, wipes, etc. You wouldn't believe what a life savor it is to keep these items at your desk. 

Now on to decor, my favorite part! A few staple pieces for me would be a

flower+ plant, photos, pen holder, inspiration quote and
themed decor. Yes, I said themed because I may or may not switch
 out my decor pieces based off the season { insert hands covering face here } 
Oh, and you can't forget a cute planner and notes, a must-have!

I hope you enjoyed a few organization tips! 

What do you do to stay organized?

Sincerely,

Ashley Nicole, xo
