Willow Rosenberg

dress by Unif + crop top from American Apparel

I've been watching a lot of Buffy lately (and by a lot I mean the entire series twice) so it's pretty obvious that Willow Rosenberg would become my style icon at some point. I originally bought this dress only because it reminded me of the dress Willow wore in the pilot episode. Clearly I've modified that outfit to make it more Ashlee but I feel like I achieved a 90's vibe. Now if I could only achieve Alyson Hannigan's level of cuteness...

-Early meeting at work. (Pullover by Wildfox, beanie from Target)

-Carving pumpkins with my bean.

-Tate and Violet pumpkin.

-Obsessed with my Dimepiece pullover.

-Violet Harmon for Halloween. Halloween wasn't perfect but it wasn't horrible. Either way I miss it already. (Cardigan & shirt & leggings from Target, dress from Free People)

-It was 'wear your costume to work day' in Ashlee world but I made it more Ashlee appropriate.

-Casting call day at work. (Beanie from Target, crop top from American Apparel, skirt by Unif)

-Last minute photo shoot with Paul Beattie. The photos are for a submission so they probably won't be posted any time soon but I think they'll be worth the wait.

-Peppermint mochas are the best part about holiday time. The 'Gwen' skirt is one of the best purchases I've ever made. (Tank top & skirt by Unif)

I hope everyone's week was perfectly spooky.

Halloweek-end

A review of my week (top + from right to left):

-Thrifting for costumes: Jacket, shirt, & shoes by UNIF + jeans from Urban Outfitters.

-Costume shopping part 2 in my: thrifted crushed velvet dress, beanie from Target, shoes by UNIF
-Rediscovered my Betsey Johnson sweater dress after it spent the last 3 years buried in my closet.

-Selfie at work: Dress by Evil Twin, shoes by UNIF.

-Halloween part 1. I'll be posting more photos from my Saturday night on Halloween. Had to save something for the day of. Cliche prom dress from Forever 21, tiara from Previews, blood harvested from every boy who tried to hit on me that night.

I can't believe the best month of the year is almost over. I've been cherishing every second. I'm going to spend the next 2 days carving pumpkins, watching horror movies, and putting the finishing touches on my second costume.

S&M Princess

leather jacket from Urban Outfitters (3 years ago, it's time for an upgrade)

"You just had to be a princess today..."

Today I ran necessary errands and ended up with some not so necessary items. Most importantly I got my hands on my first special effects make up items for my kit. I played around with them today and I'm really excited to perfect my ideas by Halloween. 

♡here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy♡

 After I wash my hair, since it still contains a fair amount of orange, it ends up looking like sherbet and when I wear it in a bun I feel like an ice cream cone. Not necessarily a bad thing. I wore this outfit a couple days ago but I loved it so better late than never. I felt so cute I wore it 2 days in a row (oops). In my defense it was mostly to take advantage of the perfect cold weather. I hate dressing for warm weather. I just really don't like when my arms and legs are visible, weird I know. Anyways I think I've won the universe's worst blogger award. I have a shoot today but afterwards I am coming home and working on a few new posts. I've actually been busy kids, neat huh?

Last night I went to an advanced screening of the movie Brave. It was pretty cute but I definitely don't think it lived up to all the hype it's getting. If you want to have that 'oh my god I miss Disneyland' feel good feeling then it'd probably be worth your money but it ain't no Tangled.

♡photo update♡

So after contemplating it for about 6 months, yesterday I decided to go out and buy a hula hoop. Basically it's my new favorite activity. I've been trying to find new ways to exercise that don't make me feel like I'm exercising and I think I've found my solution. I might try out a hula hooping class over the summer. Next I want to start taking trapeze classes. It's something I've wanted to do forever but never looked in to classes. They're pretty reasonably priced for a weekly class and the place the classes are held at is about an hour away. Super determined to start going, if not over the summer then definitely taking myself for my birthday in September.
