Friday Favorites – October 2015 Edition

It is a perfect Fall Friday in New York. I’m already dreaming of tomorrow morning’s run through Prospect Park and the pumpkin beers I’ll enjoy during our housewarming party tomorrow night. I can’t believe it’s finally here – our first party in our new home. We have a lot to do between now and then but first, let’s take a break for Friday Favorites.

Thank you PopSugar for testing out the best pumpkin spice candles! After reading this article I know which ones I’ll be lighting for tomorrow night’s party. Similar to their reviewers, I can’t stand a candle that is artificial or too sweet.

Wait, really? Did you guys see this article? We are comparing cheese to crack? While it may be equally as addictive, this is an addiction I fully support.

Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a new desk, add these workout moves to your weekly routine to counteract the damage that sitting does to your body.

Kristine introduced me to these comfortable and chic shoes when I was visiting her in San Francisico. Within minutes of seeing hers, I’d hopped on my iPhone and ordered a pair for myself. The black color will transition easily through the seasons and they are a perfect shoe for Bar Method commutes and leisurely strolls through the neighborhood.  While they aren’t cheap, they are often included in any sales, so snag them during Bloomingdales, Saks or Nordstrom’s next sale!

Talk about efficient use of space, did you know there is a farm at one of the world’s largest airports!? JetBlue has big plans for the crops but for now they will supply fresh food to the restaurants in Terminal 5.

JCrew Double Faced Wool Crepe Dress

Even though I work from home, on average of four times a month I need a good power dress. A power dress is my nickname for a dress that when paired with a cute pair of heels and chunky statement necklace, makes me feel like a million bucks. I debuted this dress yesterday for our quarterly meetings and received no less than twenty compliments! It is fully lined, fits perfectly, runs true-to-size, has a fun exposed back zipper, and is tailored perfectly for a flattering fit. A perfect three season dress, I love this dress so much that I have it in two colors!

Your turn: What should I know about this week? Any great fashion items or articles?

    I see ShopStyle on a lot of blogs, but rarely see bloggers note a disclaimer about it. I appreciate your transparency. Have a nice time at your party!

    Hi Ashley! I saw that you visited SF last week for the trip and had to come by and check out your blog. (I’m an SF girl, now living outside the City.) As far as your favorites are concerned — I absolutely love those shoes and would definitely want to get some of those for myself. And I saw that article about cheese earlier this week as well and have to believe it’s totally true. I hope you have a great weekend!!

    I hadn’t heard your term “power dress” before but I have a few and they’re all from Title 9 Sports. Crazy that my best work dresses come from a company known for workout clothes bit it’s true!
