Life Lately


1. Having dinner with Chris
2. Picture of Scar with my new camera
3. The view from my bedroom window
4. Chris' birthday cake...on the right side of the cake it almost seems like there are little hearts coming from the cake. Maybe because it was made with love from yours truly.
5. The camera Chris bought me as a 9 year anniversary gift
6. Drinking Incredible Hulks on St. Patrick's Day
7. Roses growing in the garden
8. Jason Aldean at the rodeo...such a good show

Sponsor Question of the Month: March

Every month I like to ask the sponsors a fun question so all of you can get to know them a bit better.
This month I asked, Have you ever had anything lucky such as a lucky charm, number, day, anything...?
Here's what some of them had to say.....

Making Me Hot Hot Hot

Tank: Langford Market, Skirt: F21, Belt: Thrifted, Heels: Target, Ring: F21

I've made it a point to try and add bright fun colors to my wardrobe...which I feel I've done pretty good at. The old me used to have the closet filled with lots of black but the new me now pairs black skirts with fun tanks like this one that I picked up in Austin. I've always loved stripes and then with these colors in the hottest hues that remind me of a sunset I felt it would be a perfect addition to my closet. 
Do you have any new loves you added to your wardrobe? Do tell...

Glimmering in the Light

Top: F21, Skirt: Thrifted & Upcycled by me, Wedges: Rocketdog, Belt: Target

One of the best parts about my trip to Austin was meeting such incredible and stylish ladies and I was so happy to meet Nikol from Who's Austin...this used to be her top. When I saw it at the blogger swap, I quickly snatched it up for myself. Whatever her reasons for giving it up, I'm happy she did. Lucky me... I'm so glad it's mine. I wore this out when Chris and I has some friends over during the weekend and decided to pair it with one of my favorite skirts...I can't help but love how the sequins glimmer in the light. Anything that sparkles pretty much just makes me smile so yeah, I was a happy girl wearing this around all day :)

Meet the March Sponsors


My blog follows my journey through the ups and downs in my life and how I am learning to be more true to myself and my potentialIt is a lovely, challenging, uplifting, struggling, beautiful journey!
This is my life and my life {is} beautiful.




Hi I'm Ashley and I blog over at Lions Lace Lattes

Lions Lace Lattes is a blog about personal style, but you will also find posts about my inspiration, life with my husband JP, local events I attend, and travel. Some of my passions include psychology, neuroscience, art and fashion. I also couldn't live without coffee, tea, roller coasters, water slides, perfume, jewellery and spending time with friends and family. Come stop by and say hi! 



Breezy Simply is about me Bree who is a Mother, a lover of fashion, a gardener, and a learner. I spend my days  playing a grown up version of dress up all while chasing and feeding a toddler.  I spend my afternoons working in the garden, and I prefer my evenings quiet with a bowl of guacamole and a glass of wine. This is my atempt to capture it all.



My blog is about a variety of things, from outfit posts to my photography and Etsy business to my knitting obsession. I have a lot of things I love doing and have fun blogging about them and sharing them with you! Stop by and say hi. 



I'm a 20-something navigating through a furious sea of 20-somethings. I'm saucy, sassy, and sometimes a little silly. Come get some Aunie Sauce for yourself!

 

My personal purpose for writing Currently Coveting is very similar to most bloggers. I really just wanted to document the little bits of what I consider sparkle in my life (and my reason for living) outside of that 9-5 and give myself a creative outlet to let loose on.  The fun mostly includes shopping & putting together outfits, baking fabulously fattening delicacies, and glaming it up with hair and makeup tricks.

All the Pretty Flowers

Dress: c/o Lulus, Heels: Steve Madden, Clutch: Thrifted, Necklace: F21

Yesterday the boyfriend wanted to go out for dinner and a few drinks...and of course I never pass up the chance to get all dressed up. I got this dress while attending the events for the TxSC. I actually won it while spinning the prize wheel at the Lulus booth and when I saw that this dress was still on the rack, I jumped at the chance to bring it home with me. I completely fell for the feminine floral print and I love the skirt of the dress...so much fun to twirl in :)

Taking it Easy

Blouse: Thrifted, Shorts: Thrifted, Wedges: Rocket Dog, Bangles: Langford Market, 
Headband: Claires, Necklace: F21

I had so much fun at the Texas Style Council this weekend out in Austin. There were so many amazing girls and everyone was so stylish and inspiring to meet. After a weekend filled with shopping and networking, all I really wanted to do Monday was take it easy and relax. This was pretty much an outfit I found while thrifting this weekend that I just couldn't wait to wear. I can't wait to show you all the other clothing I came home with. I'm usually like that after a good shopping trip...I always get so excited to wear my new finds asap. 
Are any of you like that? Please tell me I'm not the only one.

Chocolate is My Secret Lover


I love to bake but I'll admit there are some days when I feel like taking the easy way out and doing something just fast and simple. For days like this, I like to make batches of chocolate croissants. Just add pieces of a bar of chocolate to croissant dough, put in the oven for a few minutes, and enjoy. One day I'll learn how to make them from scratch but until then...


yup, these are pretty good.

Find me on

Hello Yellow


Tank: Thrifted, Skirt: Thrifted F21, Belt: Target, Heels: Rebecca Minkoff, Rings: F21

Hey dolls, hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine was surprisingly relaxing after having such a hectic week. Now that it's Monday, life will be pretty busy once again. I'm going to Austin this weekend and have so many things to get done before I go. I wore this out Saturday night for a casual dinner date. Margaritas and Mexican food, fajita enchiladas to be exact, are always a good thing :)

Stars in my Eyes

Dress: F21, Belt: Target, Boots: Charlotte Russe, Rings: F21

It seems that this week my only friend has been my sewing machine. I stayed up into the early hours of the morning (almost 5) trying to finish up some garments to show my teacher today. I woke up this morning only to keep sewing until the time I had to run out the door to go to class. It turned out my teacher was sick and never made it to class...so much for all my hard work but at least now I'm ahead. This cute little dress happened to be the perfect thing to throw on when needing to get dressed in a hurry and still looking great with almost no effort but adding a gold belt.

What's your go to look when rushing out the door?
