Hi! I'm Ashley. I'm a legal specialist, a blogger and a radio personality with a makeup and shoe addiction based out of Boston and the Pioneer Valley. These are my (mis)adventures.
Over this past weekend, my friend and podcast co-host, Stef, and I set off on what has quickly become our new favorite holiday tradition in her neck of the New England woods – the town of Hubbardston’s annual “Light Fight” contest! I had written about the event last December, which was our first time participating, […]
I adore Shelburne Falls. It’s a place I’ve written about frequently here on ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘ since it’s only about 20 minutes away from my apartment and it’s a picturesque little village with a lot to do and see – even with it’s main attraction, the famed Bridge of Flowers, currently undergoing some long overdue […]

With some potential snow arriving in New England a little later on this week, it is officially “Soup Season” by my calculations – and I thought I’d share one of my longtime favorite recipes to whip up when that chill in the air (or the mood!) hits just right. This hearty, filling soup only takes […]
