Hello everyone! I have decided that not only am I going to blog about the lovely Catholic faith, but am also going to start blogging more about fashion and lifestyle topics! Today I decided to an exciting post–exciting because fall is my FAVORITE season and I have so many favorites to share with all of you!
Favorite Scent, Lip Color, Drink, Blush, Fashion Trends/Pieces, Fall Movie, Fall TV Show, Thanksgiving Food, Halloween Costume, and Blogger!
My favorite scent this fall has been the Pumpkin Cupcake scent from Bath and Body Works. I miss buying so many fall candles from there this Fall–because I can’t have them in college. I would highly recommend getting a wall scent plug-in for your dorm. It makes your room feel more cozy!
I have been loving the Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick in the shade ‘Blind Date!’
I am wearing the shade here and have been loving pairing this lipstick with a bright pink lipstick from the same collection called ‘Nouveau Pink!’
Here is where I become a typical white girl–because the PSL has been my favorite drink. I have it with soy milk and it is SO yummy for the fall. I love grabbing it from our coffee shop at school after classes!
This has been my favorite blush color for this season. It is included in the Lorac Pro to Go Palette, which is how I found out about it! You can buy this color separately- and it is called ‘Pink!’ (i know, so creative!) It is the most beautiful shade on–not too harsh but it gives the skin an amazing glow!
One of my favorite trends this fall has been to pair cable knit sweaters with simple button downs. I love the classic, modest, and feminine look it gives an outfit! Plus–it is warm and comfy! I purchased this sweater from Old Navy recently, so it should still be available! My button down is also from Old Navy, and my statement necklace is from Tilly’s!
This has been my go-to look this fall. I have loved wearing plaid- and I love the look of a cute plaid shirt/flannel under a cardigan. I love to roll up the sleeves to give the outfit that feminine and girly touch! My cardigan is from Gap, my shirt from Rue21, my bag from TopShop, and my necklace from Prep Obsessed!
First of all-credit to my father for taking this shot! This photo was barely edited–this tree was just THAT beautiful. I love pairing a cute vest like this one from JCrew with skirts! I have never thought to pair a vest with a skirt, and I love how it goes with this pleated mini skirt from JCrew. My scarf is also from Prep Obsessed, and my top from Old Navy!
This vest has been my go to– as you can see. You can style a vest with so many outfits–and this is another way I chose to style it. I paired it with a button down from Old Navy with the same necklace from Prep Obsessed. I also chose to wear my favorite black ‘toothpick’ jeans from JCrew and my new favorite tan riding boots from Charlotte Russe!
This fall I was chosen to be a representative for the company ‘Prep Obsessed.‘ I mentioned their ‘Grace’ necklace in my favorites (on pre-sale right now for only 22.95) and the cute plaid scarf that I have worn so many times! I have loved working for them and that pearl necklace explemfies the statement– “Southern Girls Wear Pearls.” Shown below is a few other things that they sent me that I absolutely love! Use the discount code ‘MaryAshley10’ to get 10% off any item! Trust me–it’s a great deal!
This necklace is on sale for only $7.95! They sent this to me & I love it!
These earrings have been shown SO MUCH on my Pinterest and I was PUMPED when I got them in the mail. These retail for only $14.95 and are so timeless and classy!
I also got this cute coozie! It is their ‘Cheers’ one and it retails for only 6.95 on sale now!

HOCUS POCUS– need I say more?
Greys Anatomy–minus the fact that McDreamy is no longer with us–this show is just so addicting and dramatic!
My great-grandmother makes the BEST dressin’ (as I call it) stuffing (as others call it, cough, cough, JAKE). It rocks my world every year and I try to hold onto leftovers for a long time–although it doesn’t seem to appear in our fridge for very long!
Jake & I were BRUCE AND CAITLIN. HANDS DOWN BEST YET!
Bruce & Caitlin Jenner for Halloween..Before & After..Need I say more?
