Our trip to Provence this past summer seems like a lifetime ago. I reminisce about it almost daily, daydreaming about all the amazing things we experienced in just a short week there. We started in Avignon and stayed in the historic centre, which you can read more about here. Now on to the next stop...…
I'm not particularly picky about the brand of my clothes and accessories. As long as it's my style, is high-quality, and doesn't break the bank, it's a win for me! So when Amazon started upping their fashion game, you can imagine my excitement! Sometimes it's hit or miss, but I've found some gems that I'm…
As the seasons are beginning to shift here in Southern California, I'm becoming more and more nostalgic for my summertime in Provence. I miss the quiet towns, the rolling hills, and the scent of lavender in the air. It was just this past July when we were exploring the South of France, but it feels…
I often feel like I have nothing to wear. I stick to my favorite pieces, which can get old after wearing them over and over again. When I feel uninspired by my wardrobe like this, I'm more tempted to shop for something new. I try to fight that urge by looking for creative ways to…
If I like something, there's a good chance I've said, "I'M OBSESSED." Just look at my tagline here on this blog (Fashion, Travel, and Lifestyle blogger who has way too many obsessions) and on Instagram (@itsashleywallace). It may be a slight exaggeration, but I'm either 0 or 100 when it comes to my interests. Here…
I'm pretty much the definition of a cancer sign. I'm intuitive, loyal, and (highly) emotional. I can also easily retreat into my "shell" out of fear of being judged or rejected. This means not speaking up or doing something in a crowd. Even though this has been engraved in me pretty much my whole life,…
October came and went in a flash. It was probably one of the busiest months in a while. We hosted friends and family 3 out of the 4 weekends, attended a wedding, saw a musical, all the while still balancing normal life and work. In the beginning of the month, I was definitely more inclined…
There's something incredibly nostalgic about this time of year; I become overly excited to continue old traditions and create new lasting memories. For as long as I can remember, I've gone to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin to carve. It's the perfect way to jump-start the upcoming holiday season, and I look…
There are all kinds of hobbies to satisfy different needs. Some people love the rush of adrenaline of rock climbing or the soothing effects of painting. For me, traveling is what feeds my soul. It is my passion, not only because I love experiencing new places and cultures, but because of what it has taught…
I've always loved hats, but haven't really felt the urge to buy any new ones, that is until recently. When this Lack of Colors caught my eye, I immediately knew I needed it. I do consider this to be more of a splurge purchase, but it's money well spent! The high-quality and versatility is so…
