Mountain Chic

It's always a challenge to look stylish when you are in a rustic setting. But I've found that if you find the right pieces that aren't too fancy, you can mix and match. In the end, coming up with some really cool, comfortable and realistic outfits.
I put together a list of some of the best pieces to interchange. Jeans are a must. Especially if you are going to be even the slightest bit active on your trip. A good pair of rain boots or cute hiking boots are also important. Find ones that are both cute and comfortable. Scarves and beanies are the best accessories! They are really adorable and don't make you look over done. Best of all, they will keep you warm. Fluffy oversized sweaters are unfussy and comfortable. A good khaki or puffer coat is a staple and completes the look. xxx Ashley

Personal Style


One of the most difficult things in fashion to pinpoint is personal style. I've always battled with myself trying to find one word that describes it all. But then I realized that was impossible. I've finally narrowed it down to three key terms for my style. Edgy. Vintage. Preppy. My style has definitely evolved over the years going from extremely girly to almost goth. But I feel like now, my style reflects my personality perfectly. I created a little piece that shows some of the essentials for my wardrobe. My most used being a really good pair of jeans, a sick leather jacket and a cute pair of booties. I've recently become obsessed with shopping at thrift stores because there are pieces that you know no one else will have. Mixing high end and thrift store finds will always make for a really original and cool outfit. I think an important part about essentials is that they have to be interchangeable. For example, the classic red dress can be edged out by throwing on the leather jacket and adding the studded clutch. Plaid is probably my favorite print out there. You can throw it over a dress or just wear it with a pair of jeans and oxfords. Accessories are also very important. They are the only thing that sets you apart from any other girl wearing the same outfit.
Overall, personal style for me and for anyone is definitely being fearless and not caring what people think about what you are wearing. If you love it, and it feels right, then you will feel and look great.
