Traveling throughout the American South!

We left Alabama super early this morning and drove through Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, and stopped halfway through Texas, near Forth Worth.

13 hours.  OMG.

Today's outfit actually isn't based on a movie/miniseries (unfortunately), but it's just so crazy comfortable and cute that I couldn't resist wearing it.

Before the outfit though, I have to share this:


Dr. Enuf.  How have I never heard of this before?  It's like Sprite, just with a stronger lemon-lime flavor, which is SO delicious.




Sweater: Nick and Nora, Skirt: Home Made (Loving making my own clothes!), Shoes: Chinese Laundry.

Side note: I can't seem to find hose the right color.  I want them more like my skin color (several shades lighter than what they are in real life).  If anyone has any suggestions for brands to try, let me know!

Until Next Time,

Ashley

Thanksgiving!

I know it's a little early (by a week, anyway) to be talking about **Thanksgiving** but I'm so excited, I just had to post about it.  I'm going on a lovely cross country trip on Sunday, and won't be coming back until the following Saturday.

I had the ingenious idea of planning out all my outfits to be based on my favorite movies and miniseries, which is SO helpful, and SO inspiring!  I'll be adding my own touches and channelling some of my favorite outfits from Das Wilde Leben, Young Victoria, Daniel Deronda, Marie Antoinette, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, and The Tudors.

I won't be doing my regular posts that usually involve recipes, etc, but I will be posting my outfits and the things I did.  I'm going to a place I've only been to once before, so it'll be really exciting!

Until Next Time,

Ashley

"Where I've Been"


This picture is from an AWESOME Facebook app called "Where I've Been"  According to this map, I've been to a (measly) 7%.  Next year when I move, I plan to remedy that:)

Everything in green is where I want to go- obviously, I haven't filled it in yet, or everything gray would be green.  The blue is where I've been, and the red is where I've lived (Germany, Alabama, Kentucky, Virginia, and Hawaii).  It's my long term goal in life to visit every country in the world.  I LOVE to travel and learning about new cultures.

With the exception of our northern neighbor Canada, I don't think I'll be visiting any new countries in 2011.  I have to say though, Canada was amazing.  We stayed in Quebec (camping outside of Montreal, and spending our days in the city), and drove through the incredibly beautiful Ontario.  I know that someday I'll be back, and when I do revisit the country, I hope to see some more of it.

Do you use this app?  If so, how much of the world have you been to?  Do you like to travel?

Until Next Time,

Ashley
