What do you do when you're not blogging? What is your job?

Ashley: I am a happy housewife and stay-at-home mama to one beautiful baby boy. My job is to take care of my precious little family, and I love it so much. When I'm not blogging I love going on little adventures with my family, photographing everything, and repurposing vintage items.

Who or what has been your greatest fashion influence?

Ashley: I am eternally drawn to classic beauty and glamour, but at the same time I find that I am influenced by anyone with the ability to take risks. I admire people who possess a unique sense of style, whether they be celebrities or strangers I pass on the street.

What is your fantasy splurge?

Ashley: If I could have anything my little heart desired for Spring 2011, it would definitely be the White Giant City Balenciaga Handbag with rose gold hardware. But with a price tag of $1,795.00, this gorgeous Italian-made bag will unfortunately remain a "fantasy".

What are you currently grooving to?

Ashley: Right now I'm loving the Civil Wars, Mumford & Sons, and Adele. My stand-by favorites? Anything by Elvis Presley, the (500) Days of Summer Soundtrack, and Sam's Town by The Killers.

What inspires you?

Ashley: So many things...memories, photography, art, magazines, blogs, my family, nature, music, films. I thrive on seeking inspiration in the unexpected.

What is your favorite dessert?

Ashley: There's nothing I love better than a cold slice of cherry pie.

Great fashion steal:

Ashley: My favorite shoes, a pair of Roberto del Carlo suede peep toe wedge platforms that I scored at Barney's on my last trip to New York. They were marked down an amazing 75% off their $500 retail price. I wear them with everything!

How are you able to stay fashionable without spending a lot of $$? What are your tips and where do you shop?

Ashley: I like to purchase clothing that I know I can style into multiple outfits. I try to fight off impulse buys, by only buying things that I can't live without. And by shopping online, I am usually able to rack up on some amazing deals. I love shopping at Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and F21.

What types of items do you like to save $ on and what do you splurge on?

Ashley: I don't like to spend a lot of money on fads that are likely to be short-lived, so I look for my trendy items at places like F21 or Charlotte Russe. When buying classic pieces that will be in rotation in my closet for awhile, I will spend a more substantial amount.

One trend you would like to never see again is:

Ashley: Even though I own 2 pairs, and wore them proudly in the past...I am not a huge fan of Uggs.

How long does it take you to decide on an outfit to post?

Ashley: Not very long. I usually have an idea of what I want to wear before I even get to my closet.

Favorite beauty product of all time?

Ashley: Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
