As a little girl, I always loved seeing my mom in something sparkly and my dad in a suit (I would totally scan the exact picture that pops up in my head, but that photo album is back in Ohio). I remember them being all dressed up for their round of Christmas parties and thinking I couldn't wait to grow-up so I could do just the same! Tonight James and I have our first Christmas party and I am excited (really excited!) to get all fancy and celebrate the holiday season with some friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
If you haven't gathered, I love <a href="http://amsoroka.polyvore.com/">Polyvore</a> (and just recently realized I can post directly from their site, genius). I am actually wearing the Zara dress and bib necklace tonight! I love the little bit of edge it brings with the leather sleeves. I'm sure I'll be posting pictures throughout the night on <a href="http://instagram.com/veryashley">Instagram</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Any holiday celebrations this weekend? If so, what are you* wearing? Happy Friday!</div>

RIP last year's Christmas present.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
Last weekend I was very careless and took off my watch (I was trying to airplane nap) on our way back to San Francisco. On Monday, while getting ready for work I realized instantly that I had left it in the seat-back pocket on our Virgin flight. Of course I contacted their lost and found and I'm sad to report it is gone. </div>
<div>
While it isn't a super expensive watch (then I'd reeeeally be upset) it is still not something I want to spend money on right now (hello wedding/honeymoon), therefore I made a deal with myself (doesn't everyone?) that if I sell some of my things on <a href="https://poshmark.com/closet/veryashley">Poshmark</a> worth the cost of a new watch, I can buy myself a new one. Sounds fair? (Plus I have some really cute stuff I don't wear anymore!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So... <a href="https://poshmark.com/closet/veryashley">buy my stuff</a>. So I can once again rock some <a href="http://instagram.com/p/HSMB9_C3U-/">arm candy</a>! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again this <a href="http://veryashley.blogspot.com/2011/12/most-wonderful-time.html">Christmas</a>, we'll be staying in San Francisco to celebrate the holiday. It has been fun to create our own traditions. One traditions I've always done with my family is watch Christmas movies and has quickly become one of my fave to continue. Nothing beats snuggling up and having a movie marathon (yummy eggnog included). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I may be a bit biased to a few of these. Do you have a fave Christmas movie? Or holiday tradition?<br />

I love makeup! I use these products in my day-to-day routine. Most of them I've been using for years and others I've recently added. You may wonder why I don't have a concealer? (believe me I have dark circles) but have been introduced to Bobbi Brown's foundation stick-and? It's amazing and does the trick when I need some extra coverage. I believe quality brushes make a difference and I clean them frequently! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You'll rarely find me with eye shadow on during the day but I love a smokey eye for night. Next I'll share my night-look routine and faves!</div>

<br />
I've used it mostly for inspiration for our july wedding.<br />
so I thought I'd share what I love the most and should really get my act together and make some decoration decisions! (it's just all <i>sooooooooooo </i>pretty!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mdkfqnPLDiM/UKrXD2r5-FI/AAAAAAAAAXk/o4hgItJQSps/s1600/invites.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mdkfqnPLDiM/UKrXD2r5-FI/AAAAAAAAAXk/o4hgItJQSps/s320/invites.jpg" width="234" /></a></div>

if you read my last <a href="http://www.veryashley.blogspot.com/2012/11/updates.html">post</a>, you'll see my stamp came in (which I loooove!) and now it's just about bringing all the ideas in my head together! easier said than done... but these are two of my fav invites! I love the rustic/elegance of them... pretty sure we're going with the 'paperbag' color for the envelopes and stuck between a light grey or ivory for the invite...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kGQ6HIOFnL0/UKrX0SI7w3I/AAAAAAAAAX0/o7uGvQaZ688/s1600/cake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kGQ6HIOFnL0/UKrX0SI7w3I/AAAAAAAAAX0/o7uGvQaZ688/s320/cake.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>

the cake has pretty much been decided. sorta. we picked the flavors and while I am set with the cascading flowers and what I thought of not having a topper, I've fallen in love with this simple one...<br />

centerpieces & decorations: I really want to get creative here! since our venue is in the middle of the forest, I want to keep that theme inside! I love the idea of wild flowers that are bulky with a mishmosh of vases and containers<br />

love these place cards and s'more sendoffs!<br />
<br />
**<br />
<br />
so while I may have a lot of ideas and they're really consistent I just can't make a decision... I love it all. It's all so pretty and I am constantly looking to see if I'm missing something! I need to stop. little by little I am deleting things from my pinterest, because not only do I have too many pins-I have folders on my computer, iPad and phone full of different picture inspiration. maybe I should of hired a wedding planner? ha! probably not, I'm too much of a control freak.<br />
<br />
love & hugs,<br />

wedding planning is coming along, sorta.<br />
we have all the big decisions out of the way and I've been playing around with decor ideas. it's hard putting things together when I'm 3000 miles away from our venue. fun. <br />
<br />
I am doing all of the stationary myself. I am actually reeeeally excited about this. my friend jess has helped me pick out of some of the designs and I've ordered the sample paper, so I can't wait to get to work on those! and the custom stamp I got finally came in!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have no clue where to go with bridesmaid dresses. seriously I didn't think I was capable of being so indecisive.<br />
<br />
lots and lots of decisions to make and 8 months is going to come quick. eep!<br />
<br />
love & hugs,<br />

<br />
<b>Poshmark </b>is my latest find (I was introduced to it really!)<br />

<br />
It's an app for your iPhone where you can sell/buy things directly from the app.<br />
<br />
Well I-- like probably many of you, <i>looooove </i>to shop. I don't always wear what I buy and when it comes time to spring clean (or move) I always say "maaaybe I'll wear this" (and of course-- I don't)<br />
<br />
Well PoshMark lets you sell you items directly. Love it. Snap a picture and poof upload some info and BAM! you're done. <br />
<br />
You can DL the app and follow me (@veryashley) and check out some of the stuff I am selling!<br />
Here's a taste of what I've posted. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(let me know if you're interested or have any questions too!)</span><br />

this weekend was the right amount of "<i>just what I needed</i>..."<br />
<br />
after work friday I hit the <span style="font-size: x-small;"><strike>pavement</strike> </span>gravel for a run along side the beach to the golden gate bridge. haven't really ran since my half marathon and a long, sunny run was <i>just what I needed</i><br />

I'm still recovering from a very long and fun weekend. Promises to share pictures later this week. If you follow me on <a href="http://followgram.me/veryashley">Instagram</a> you'll see <i>some </i>of the shenanigans we got ourselves into. It was a solid 80 degrees Saturday/Sunday and I walked away from the weekend with a tan. I'd say that's a win in itself.<br />
<br />
oxx & 29 days 'till hawaii!!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span>I posted a picture of the <a href="http://veryashley.blogspot.com/2012/04/birthday-celebrations.html">strawberry-shelled jello shots</a> I made and a few of you asked me for the recipe. So I thought I'd share.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SHoteNcK3t4/T5DxueHSs8I/AAAAAAAABZg/1hMTeULgkMo/s1600/strawberry+shot+recipe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="472" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SHoteNcK3t4/T5DxueHSs8I/AAAAAAAABZg/1hMTeULgkMo/s640/strawberry+shot+recipe.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They are <i>really really really </i>delicious <span style="font-size: x-small;">(and <i>dangerous </i>because you <i>don't </i>taste the alcohol)</span>. The only thing I'd change? I wish I would of made more*! simple & quick. and the worst part? <i>waiting </i>for them to set! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
tips: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
>> alcohol/jello flavor is preference</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
>> make sure strawberries are large*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
>> jello liquid <i>will </i>spill over/out of strawberries <span style="font-size: x-small;">(also don't worry if strawberries split when pitting -hence the shot cups!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last night <span style="font-size: x-small;">(and again on instagram)</span> I posted a picture of the artichokes I made for dinner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tKHAufq2o5Q/T5D0QcpAAfI/AAAAAAAABZo/dOH47ihNAVQ/s1600/artichoke+recipe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="472" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tKHAufq2o5Q/T5D0QcpAAfI/AAAAAAAABZo/dOH47ihNAVQ/s640/artichoke+recipe.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Super easy to make. Waiting an hour for them to cook- really sucked, but I made some spicy chickpeas to hold me over <span style="font-size: x-small;">(my current favorite snack! -- will post recipe too!)</span>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
tips:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
>> can use lemons from boiling water for the mayo dip</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
>> the larger the artichoke the <i>better </i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(for <i>obvious </i>consuming reasons)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
>> lemon pepper seasoning from trader joe's is <i>ahhhmazing </i>-- I use it on everything <span style="font-size: x-small;">(<i>especially </i>because I am trying to avoid seasoning with salt)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
>> don't cut stem completely off -- that's the best* part! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
>> you can completely cheat and just use mayo <span style="font-size: x-small;">(and add lemon zest & seasonings)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
hope you enjoy the recipes if you decide to try either of them! and if you do-- let me know if you-- I'd loooove to <strike>hear</strike> <i>see </i>how they turned out!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am beyond thrilled today is Friday!! We have a packed weekend filled with friends, baseball, wine and oysters. Tonight we are heading to the Oakland A's game with our mentees <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I'm a mentor in the bay area yearup program). </span>Any big weekend plans on <i>your </i>agenda?? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
oxx & happy cooking</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Working out & eating healthy have been <i>top </i>priority over here. I've mixed it up with P90X, running and Jillian Michael DVDs. James and I also been following the '<i>4hour body</i>' eating plan (which is similar to the paleo diet) and doing as much gluten-free as humanly possible. I feel amazing and well I'm seeing the change in my body (and how my clothes fit).</div>

I think it's our round faces. I'm not sure. I've heard some randoms. However- I pretty much have to go with the girl Aly sent me-- she takes the cake.
