Hey everyone! 

Sorry I haven't posted in a while :( 

Today's #throwbackthursday is the day I graduated from community college! It is important for me because I attended community college while I was in high school. So when I graduated high school, I also graduated with an associates degree. Or should I say 5 associates degrees! You read that right. I worked my tail off and was able to revcieve 5 degrees. 

I was so proud of myself. At the age of 19 (My high school program was 5 years, they paid for my college :p) I had a high school diploma and 5 associates degrees. 

So I'll leave this throwback Thursday with one of my favorite memories. 

If you want to share any of your graduation memories just leave them in the comments :)

Love, 

A

Nope, that's not photoshop! My throw back Thursday post is of me and Jake T. Austin. I know him from Disney Channel's  Wizards of Waverly Place, but some of you who are younger than me might know him from his current show The Fosters on ABC Family. He, along with some other celebrities, came down to my hometown for a Nicholas Sparks movie premiere, The Lucky One! Awesome, right?! I believe it was either on or around April 20th, 2012. (Just passed the anniversary date to this day haha). One of the things that was a big surprise to me was how skinny he was. But I guess it goes with his tall height.

I remember on that night I couldn't get to see everyone at the beginning of the premier because I had to work, sad face. But, I was able to show up after work when they were leaving, which was a good idea since there were less people waiting outside! 

I got to meet other celebrities, it was a whole weekend about it. The Saturday (when this was taken) was the movie day. Then Sunday was the celebrity golf game, which I got to attend. So maybe I'll post those photos next Thursday ;)

Love, 

A

Good morning Las Vegas, and everywhere else in the world! This morning we had to bring my dad to the airport by 7 am, so we left a little after 6:30 am. While heading to the airport we had to take the highway that goes by the strip. Looking over, I saw this beautiful sunrise. I though, "why not take a photo to share the beauty?" so I did. Las Vegas really is beautiful in the morning, well its beautiful at all times of day and night. I just like how early it is and how there is not many people are out. It's kind of like a ghost town. 

Well, that's all for now, stay tuned for anymore blog posts :)

Love, 

A

Today's look was brought on by some grunge inspired looks. I didn't go full on grunge because I wanted to keep it a little minimalist as well. This outfit is a quick and cute option for a warm day, and the sweater helps for those cool breeze moments. 

Dress: Forever 21

Sweater/Cardigan: Rue 21

Shoes: Payless

Purse: Nine West

Love,

When in Vegas right? Yesterday my father, brother, and I went for a walk on the strip. We didn't go down the entire strip, that's way to long. We visited the Mircale Mile Shops, the Paris Hotel, the Flamingo, and the Linq. I've never been in the Paris one before, and it was so beautiful! Paris is on my list to of cities to visit. It's so beautiful. Anywho, here are some photos of our walk! Enjoy.

Love, 

A

Today is a good day for a little nautical inspired outfit! I should probably say yesterday was a good day for it since this is from yesterday haha. My dad is in town for a few days so my dad, brother, and I went out on the strip and walked around. 

Shirt and highwaisted shorts from Forever 21 and shoes from Rainbow Clothing.

Love,

Hey everyone! Sorry its been a while since I have posted, I apologize for that. So I paid for a class at the college this semester, which means I am broke. :( <-- sad face.  I am going to take Basic Anatomy and Physiology...online. This class is a whopping 5 credits!! If I pass this class, hopefully I can get into the radiology program at the college.

Anywho, I stumbled across lookbook. Its a wonderful website if you love outfits/fashion. I made an account today and have been on ever since. I'm obsessed with it..oops. Sorry, not sorry haha. But feel free to follow me on lookbook http://lookbook.nu/user/4462888-Ashley-R :)

Enough rambling, here is the outfit :)

The blazer is from Forever 21, shirt is from Pacsun, jeans are from Belk, and the booties are from Rue21.

Love,

Hello upper eastsiders, I..I..mean people of the internet. I guess I have Gossip Girl on my mind! I just finished A L L six seasons on Netflix! Crazy, I know! I started watching this show last year and I stopped around the beginning of season 3. I think it was due to me watching the show nonstop everyday. Well a few weeks ago I picked up where I left off. Now here I am eating ice-cream and wandering how I'm going to continue with my life.

I'm not going to say much, because I don't want to ruin the show for anyone else. I made the mistake of googling "what" and "who" and now all I'm asking is "why did I look for trouble?!". I believe when I started the fourth season I found out who was Gossip Girl and I wish I didn't do that because it kind of left an uneasy feeling when I watched the show. But I had to continue because, Gossip Girl! Although I would have to say the last season did kind of make me a tad upset. It was rushed, I mean it was like what, ten or eleven episodes for the last season. Whereas the previous seasons had twenty plus episodes.

But if you want a guilty pleasure I would highly recommend this show! Every time I watched this show, it made me imagine what it would be like to live in New York without having to actually go there. Plus when I watch Gossip Girl, it makes me want to be a fashion designer or involved in the fashion world in someway.

Anywho, overall this show was pretty great. And like I said, a good guilty pleasure show on Netflix.

Love, 

A
