Cuyana Is My Go-to For Leather Handbags

March 3, 2020

Cuyana is THE place to shop for a high-quality handbag! Not familiar with Cuyana? Cuyana is a female-founded brand that celebrates "fewer, better things." This is why I'm drawn to the company. I'm constantly striving for quality over quantity when it comes to my closet and sustainability. All of their items are ethically sourced, timeless, and something you will have for years.What I’m Wearing – Blazer: Madewell | Blouse: J.Crew | Denim: J.Crew Factory | Necklace: Lace & Pearls Jewelry | Bracelet: Lace & Pearls Jewelry | Ring: J.Crew (old) | Bag: Cuyana Saddle Bag (gifted) | Shoes: M.M.

Cuyana is THE place to shop for a high-quality handbag! I first got a glimpse of the brand when I spotted my friend Jenn from Hello Rigby carrying the Small Carryall Tote.

2019 Fall Trends

November 26, 2019

Fall is by far my favorite season! I feel like it's the only time my true style shines through. My second favorite season is spring because I can wear my warm-weather clothes with fewer layers. Since fall is top of mind (and timely), I thought it would be beneficial to share my top 2019 fall trends. If you're lucky, you might already own some of these items, as they're less trendy and more classic which I love!What I’m Wearing– Sweater: J.Crew | Jeans: J.Crew Factory  | Boots: Gentle Souls by Kenneth Cole | Bag: Cuyana c/o | Lipstick: BeautyCounter Color Intense lipstick in 9 to 5

Outfit Remix: 3 Tips on Shopping for Timeless Fashion Pieces

May 3, 2019

Timeless fashion pieces are a must, and investing in quality, potentially higher-end items pays off. Plus, they retain their value and never go out of styleOver the years, I enjoy looking back at my style choices. Personal style should evolve as trends and preferences change. But what does it mean when you think you’ve created an entirely different look, only to realize that you wore something similar almost 4 years earlier. Britney Spears’ “Oops!… I Did it Again” comes to mind, but really?!

  • Sparkly cream jacket, check!
  • Neutral undershirt, check!
  • Gray denim/cords, check!
  • Unique brooch, check!

Wow! In which year did Asa wear it better? LOL. I hope that “2019 Asa” is a bit more fashion forward than my 2015 self. I do know, however, when I was younger, I was more adventurous with my fashion choices and dare I say it, “trendy.” I would rock a jumpsuit, overalls, culottes, hats, neck scarves — you name it!

5 Ways to Combat The Birthday Blues

April 2, 2019

A few nights ago, I had another sleepless episode. Unfortunately, this has become my norm as I can’t seem to slow my mind at night. The more responsibilities I take on — even if they’re fun — the harder it is to sleep. When this happens, I typically take a sleep aid and read a book. That night, however, I took the sleep aid and instead decided to catch up on reading blogs.
