October 21, 2011 By Ashley @ Little Miss Momma * 35 Comments

What do you do when you realize the invite to your dinner party that night says “wear a costume”, and you don’t have one? Well, if you’re like me, then you go to your closet and realize that quite a bit of what you see is reminiscent of a particular decade. So why not make the most of that super sweet shoulder padded bolero, bust out your favorite side pony tail and clip on those radical dangle earrings–ta da! You’ve got yourself a costume.

WWW: What We Wore to Dinner in Yosemite

September 14, 2011 By Ashley @ Little Miss Momma * 37 Comments

So Yosemite isn’t the fanciest of places, which was part of the charm and contributed to the completely relaxed feel of our vacation. However, one night we reserved a spot at the “fancy-schmancy” restaurant at the Ahwahnee Hotel. There was a “dress code” but the hubs and I didn’t want to be over dressed for our laid back vacation. So we went khaki casual. Shirt: Guess, Pants: Gap, Sandals: Rainbows, Dimples: Built In Shirt, Skirt, Belt: Old Navy, Shoes: Aerosoles, Necklace: Forever 21 Benny’s dimples were in full bloom that {…Read More…}

Meet Brooke White: a fashion post and giveaway

August 19, 2011 By Ashley @ Little Miss Momma * 192 Comments

I have a new friend. Her name is Brooke. Brooke White. You may have heard of her, from this little show called American Idol. I’ve watched every season. But this was the only season where I actually voted. And it was for her. She made me smile then, and she makes me smile now. About a month ago I met Brooke in person. Like a total goof ball, I confessed my infatuation with her on Idol, and I even ended with “I totally voted for {…Read More…}

Hunter Wellies Make Me Want to Pole Dance

August 18, 2011 By Ashley @ Little Miss Momma * 43 Comments

Best friends know the little things about you. Like your shoe size. And best friends do sweet and spontaneous things for you–just because. Like pick you up a pair of glorious boots while they’re out shopping, because said boots were a rockin low price and they’re ”soooo you“. I have a best friend like this. And I love her, and my new wellies. Bring on the rain. And only a best friend could get me to pole dance in my new wellies–well sorta.

DIY Straight Hair and Feather Extensions

August 15, 2011 By Ashley @ Little Miss Momma * 57 Comments

Sometimes I get stuck in a rut. Same ol’ routine, without even realizing that it might be time for a change. Take my flat iron for example. It’s about 6 years old. And ghetto. Cracks, mystery discoloration, and a melted cord. But yet, every time I straighten my hair, I faithfully bust out my hunk of junk and attempt to tame my mane. The result: straw like straight hair, I call it “crunchy hair”. I have never quite gotten the “sleek-straight” look I am going {…Read More…}

I’ve talked about my hair extensions many times. I summed up most of the details in this post. But a lot of you still wanted to know more. So I decided to bring my camera with me on my most recent appointment. Carrie, my super hot stylist, was a great sport about having the entire experience documented. Here is the FULL scoop on my hair extensions, and my coloring process. If you’re new here, I need the extensions because of this. I bought my extensions {…Read More…}

The Headband Challenge and Link Party

August 5, 2011 By Ashley @ Little Miss Momma * 48 Comments

Get caught up on the challenge here. What I Learned From the Headband Challenge: 1. Apparently my forehead is even larger than I already knew it was. And headbands can either hide or accentuate its massive surface area. I prefer to hide it. 2. I like headbands more than I knew. 3. They can be worn with pony tails. And when a busy week calls for limited hair washing, this style is the method of choice. Before this week, I had never worn a headband this way. 4. {…Read More…}

The Art of Headband Wearing {and a challenge, AND a link party}

July 27, 2011 By Ashley @ Little Miss Momma * 92 Comments

I love headbands. Everything about them. I love that they hide a bad hair day, that they dress up a boring outfit, that they give your look a little spunk. I have nearly a dozen of them, from all my favorite shops out in etsy and blogland. But when it really comes down to it, I don’t wear them as often as I could. I select my outfit and then add one of my extra cute headbands for garnish…then…just as I am about to walk {…Read More…}

Ask the Duplex

July 7, 2011 By Ashley @ Little Miss Momma * 17 Comments

I am a t-shirt and jeans kinda girl. Or rather a sweatpants and very loose shirt kinda girl. Like, I would be happy wearing either every.single.day. Hubs, on the other hand, is not so thrilled with that idea. And having a baby certainly didn’t help motivate me to step it up an notch. Which leads me to what is perhaps the husbands favorite part about me and this whole bloggy thing. I try a bit harder, I take more risks, I primp a bit more, I even {…Read More…}

What I Wore: Fresh Produce I love a dress that is fancy enough for Church yet still casual enough for everyday wear. Meet that dress: Dress, Wrap Cardigan: c/o Fresh Produce, Shoes: Soda, Necklace: Lisa Leonard There’s something about wearing a hood that makes me really happy. Like Christmas morning happy.
