brief update

dress & wedges: target, jewelry: forever21

i feel unlimited. everything seems possible, like literally anything can happen. i'm curious to see what the future has in store for me. i am giddy from excitement and anticipation. whatever lies ahead, though, i know will be nothing short of amazing. 

love,

ashley

something new

tank & shorts: forever21, jewelry: vidakush, melrose trading post, target, sandals: target

i finally made it to the melrose trading post (unfortunately i did not take any pictures)! i pretty much just bought jewelry, which are making their debut in these pictures. i don't know what is up with my obsession lately, but i seriously cannot go shopping without taking something new home. it might be a problem. call me crazy, but i feel completely naked if i don't have bracelets, necklaces, and rings piled on.  

ok, enough with the jewelry talk...

so i drove to LA alone, and for once, i didn't mind it. it actually wasn't too bad. if i didn't have to meet someone there, i probably would have kept driving. i just kept thinking to myself, "i could totally live out here." maybe that's just what i need, a nice change of pace. something new. 

love,

ashley
