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.
It’s hard to say goodbye to a month that has been so full of fun, friends, adventures, seeing new places and indulging in great food and drinks. I never want it to end, but end it must- and so now, with only a few hours left of June 2023- I wanted to give it a […]
With another month coming to an end and July right around the corner (including any and all things related to backyard BBQs and cookouts!) it’s about that time where I line up all of my favorite things from this month-that-was and snap some pretty photos so that I can share them here with all of […]

On any normal day, if I were to wake up and see rain clouds/stormy skies overhead and all over the forecast- I can’t say my first reaction would be “time to get on a boat!” I’d probably opt to do something indoors, instead. Catch a movie? Read a book? Binge the new season of ‘I […]
I’m not entirely sure when I decided it was a goal or a “to-do” checklist item for my Summer of 2023- but I decided this would be the year I’d try as many lobster rolls as possible in as many locations as I could find- and believe me when I say there’s no shortage of […]
Whenever I’ve fallen down the Pinterest or TikTok rabbit holes that are all about Summertime trends and fashion recently- I’m always a little giddy (and surprised) that so much of what’s considered in-style right now are things that myself and so many lifelong New Englanders have been wearing for years. “Coastal Cowgirl” and “Coastal Grandmother” […]
