Remember when it shouldn’t be legal for anyone to be this adorable?
Yeah. I remember that.
Meet Ashley Slater.
Author of the entertaining and lovely blog ‘The Sweet Season‘, I met this beauty when I moved to San Fran & desperately needed a friend. Well let’s just say that hangin’ with her (and this cutie too) was like chillin’ with a couple of old besties. And I’m of course not even mad that she also happens to have great style, which is why Ms. Ashley is my new
Style Crush.
How would you describe your style?
My style is based on comfort. I basically live in jeans, and I love cute sneakers to go with them– pair that with a vintage tee and some layered necklaces and I am all set. When I dress up I always go for flowing tops with girly chic details. I love dressing up for church on sundays, and wedges are my best friend for long days while wanting to look put together!
When all else fails, a fitted top, boyfriend blazer, skinny jeans, flats and lots of arm candy are my go to outfit! Perfect for a night out with the girls or a date with my husband.

Where Do You Go For Fashion Inspiration?
GBO! Pinterest..let’s be honest. It’s pinterest.
Who are your Fashion/Style Icons?
Natalie Portman, The Olsen Girls (only when they DON’T look like they are wearing trashbags!), Reese Witherspoon
Oh, and did I mention that she’s also a fabulous photographer? You should hire her. Or at least check out her amazing portfolio. Just sayin’.
Isn’t she adorbs? Go check out this girl’s killer blog. You’ll be even more ‘in like’ with her.
Thanks Ashley for letting me crush on you!
And now… some FRIDAY’S LETTERS!
(yeah, this is happening from now on. Why? Cuz why not. That’s why.)
Dear Walmart: what are the chances that you could NOT be out of everything i need every single time i pay you a visit? huh?
Dear Boise: I have missed you with every fiber of my beating heart. I know you are small and seemingly unexciting and inconsequential to those who haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing your killer vibe, but to those who HAVE, and more importantly, to ME, you will always be where I consider ‘home’ to be, and mostly, I love you. The end.
Dear ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’: Yes I am ashamed to admit that I watch you from time to time but YES I am even MORE ashamed to admit that I find you surprisingly (and delightfully) entertaining.
Dear L’oreal Makeup: what are the chances that I could use you more than 4.5 times before you dry up?
Dear Inspiration: what are the chances you could grace my brain with your presence at a time OTHER than when I am driving, or showering, or sitting in a movie theatre, or doing any other number of things that incapacitate my ability to actually WRITE YOU DOWN?
Dear Face: what are the chances that you could stop looking like a pepperoni pizza? Hmmmm? Cuz turns out that’s gettin’ real old.
I love this!!!:) I think Ashley is so fab!! Totally jealous of everything about her. I watch trash t.v so much.. especially the kardashians.. I used to love Kim until the whole divorce blah blah.. but I can’t stop watching!!!!
LOL pizza face. I feel like that too. But I totally blame all the sweets in the past two days. No more chocolate, it totally shows up on the ole face. Guilty!!
Inspiration always hits me at the wrong time too! Like today I went and saw magic mike and I was inspired to go workout.I’m like “hello, I’m at the movies right now brain, please wait until we go home!”
Haha – RIGHT CHLOE?! So annoying! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! xoxo
Hey Ms Shannon! Stopping by from Friday’s letters, loved your style crush post and your fun letters! Ashley is totally worthy of being a style crush, even when she is ‘slumming it’ in her tank and jeans, girl knows how to rock whatever she is wearing. Totally with you on wanting the old face to get with the adult program and stop breaking out, seriously not cute!
Haha – right Adrian?! Thanks for stopping by sista!
Great post! I love being a follower of Ashley’s blog! Yes, her style is amazing here!
so adorable! you both are dolls!
come say hi at nichollvincent.blogspot.com
have a great Friday!
Ashley is the cutest! Love her outfit!
I too am ashamed to say that I watch the Kardashians from time to time, but they are entertaining! And my face has turned into a pepperoni pizza lately too! What gives?!
Congrats to your brother!
I find most reality tv entertaining! and those pics are so cute – love her shirt!
UGH. I hate it when I get inspired during a time I can’t write it down or share it. I am always forgetting valuable thoughts and ideas!!
I am head over heels fo her top, and rose gold watch! Mine is getting so scuffy and old, it might just be time for a new one 🙂
And really WalMart, what is up with that? Also, I’m ashamed to admit that I consider Boise a larger town. My life is sheltered, but I love it there!
