With a PhD in fashion history, I spent seven years teaching fashion history, visual merchandising, and branding at Indiana University. My approach to teaching was always rooted in curiosity and experience. I believed the best learning happened beyond the classroom, in museums, galleries, archives, and the world around us. Although my career has taken a less traditional path, that philosophy continues to shape nearly everything I do. I'm the founder of Hasty Book List, a literary blog and community that began as a simple Instagram hashtag to keep track of the books I'd read. What started as a personal reading journal has grown into a platform for celebrating books, authors, and the stories that connect us. Over the years, I've interviewed more than 1,000 authors, explored literary destinations, and created opportunities for readers and writers to connect through thoughtfully curated experiences. More recently, I've become increasingly interested in the intersection of creativity, hospitality, and intentional living. Through Hasty & Co., a personal creative project inspired by the charm of historic hotels, the pleasure of thoughtful entertaining, and the beauty of everyday rituals, I'm exploring what it means to make a life feel collected, welcoming, and distinctly one's own. Think handwritten correspondence, signature scents, beautifully set tables, meaningful traditions, and little luxuries that make an ordinary Tuesday worth celebrating. I'm also returning to some of my earliest creative interests while enthusiastically pursuing new ones. Photography, painting, textile arts, and writing are all part of my ongoing creative education. I love learning from artists and makers, exploring Chicago's museums and neighborhoods, and discovering the craftsmanship and stories behind the objects we bring into our homes. My interests are varied but connected by a common thread: a fascination with history, art, design, literature, travel, and the small details that give life its richness. I'm happiest wandering through a museum, discovering a neighborhood restaurant, photographing an interesting building, working on something with my hands, or planning a thoughtful surprise for someone I love. Above all, I'm a wife and mother, and increasingly interested in creating a life that leaves room for curiosity, connection, and beauty without requiring a special occasion to enjoy any of them. And yes, I'm always open to book recommendations, although my to-be-read list is already considerably longer than my life expectancy. https://www.ashleyhasty.com/hasty-co daily 0.75 2026-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/f3dcefac-6b56-4f80-be43-9a353a7c6a77/imgg-demo-Aq8H491F.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d779fc9be34769210923d/1dd86659-8432-40e2-a420-8a367d6aadc1/CG4A0119.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d779fc9be34769210923d/1793034734585-8OHGHCJK6FC13MH0ZGLB/unsplash-image-Wegknch39A0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d779fc9be34769210923d/bb864691-c6a0-4e56-9a5e-5258b4be5cc6/CLS03192026-25+%281%29.png https://www.ashleyhasty.com/hasty-co/ten4-candle-co-collaboration daily 0.75 2026-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d779fc9be34769210923d/bb864691-c6a0-4e56-9a5e-5258b4be5cc6/CLS03192026-25+%281%29.png https://www.ashleyhasty.com/hasty-co/limited-edition-postcards daily 0.75 2026-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d779fc9be34769210923d/f3c9b082-7617-4ca7-a985-d2b0e84e0d47/HBL_9883.JPG Limited Edition Postcards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d779fc9be34769210923d/1793034659290-0STEGC0QA1UN1BZLTJVR/unsplash-image-Wegknch39A0.jpg https://www.ashleyhasty.com/hasty-co/because-its-tuesday daily 0.75 2026-10-26 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d779fc9be34769210923d/9c4f2dc3-8e9d-4883-8931-fa5eee5b4bdd/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d779fc9be34769210923d/9c4f2dc3-8e9d-4883-8931-fa5eee5b4bdd/thumbnail Because It’s Tuesday Because It’s Tuesday
