OUTFITS LINKED BELOW ⇩⇩⇩
A long overdue travel vlog from the good ol days when you could still travel, go to a warehouse rave, and make out with a stranger. During my 72 hours in Paris, I drank mimosas by the Seine, found out I've been calling chocolate croissants the wrong name my entire life, put together an outfit for a night out, danced (very badly), went to an art museum, drank tea in a bathtub, got stood up by a cutie in overalls, and spent way too much time gossiping about boys and Tinder/Grindr dates with my fellow hopeless romanic, Damon Dominique.

Ashley around people she is actually comfortable with is freaking adorable.
Also I hope things get better soon.
This is nostalgic and comforting and like my introvert self always does, I lived vicariously through you.
Agree!! 💖💖💖
Me too 🥰
i hundred percent agree with you
It’s super cool to see her be relaxed and with someone she loves, not trying to make an entertaining video with just her (even though she’s great at that). Just sweet positive vibes❤️
Couldnt agree more
I wish Ashley would make more casual vlogs, seeing her being herself and being comfortable gives so much serotonin.
SAME!!!!
IKRRR
Same omgg
I also think it’s so nice to watch footage from a time when our current fears weren’t around. The world is a scary place rn and to see the good ol days is comforting 🥺
Cameron exactly
I want a sitcom about Damon and Ashley living in Paris.
Yes!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Someone call Netflix
@@shivachandar8473 Ashley in Paris can replace Emily in Paris at any time tbh👀
So authentically funny!! Want to see more!!!
omg we need this!!
This video gives me so much nostalgia for being 18, being in lockdown, and just watching and rewatching Ashley's videos. They're so comforting and genuine and beautiful. I really miss her.
omg same
What actually happened to her?
this was shot like an indie coming of age movie and im here for it
I need a Damon in my life, everyone needs a positive Damon in their life
I always find that gay male friends are way more positive and supportive than straight male friends and it kinda disappoints me.
I need a friend like him 😔
we all need a damon
i thought you were talking about damon salvator then i started watching the video and realized, i will take both of them but give me toxic damon salvator positive aint type sadly lol a friend like damon is breath of fresh air :)
Be the Damon you are looking for girlll!!!
That was such a cute friend thing to do "Look at how happy you are! This is happiness! Move to Paris!" He's a keeper girl. Friends like that are always the best to have around
literally
SHE CAN DO MUCH BETTER
re-watching her old videos feel like an old friend you once knew "intimately" and then they moved away and all you want to do is catch up with them again but you can't
I had to let go of some family members and you perfectly described what that feels like for me ❤️❤️
I love how this rave guy has basically a whole vlog about himself and doesn’t even know it...
hahahahah so true!!
Even Paris, the city of love, has fukbois 🥀
This makes me somehow excited for the series with exes she filmed a year ago but never posted.
they DMed on instagram so he probably knows,, unless miss ashley has a different account for the d (which i hope she does bc like go get that d queen)
Or does he 😌
this honestly feels like the beginning of a coming of age movie or romcom set in paris, plus it looks like one too lol i can only aspire to have this level of cinematography and aesthetic for my vids
i'd love that!!
@@airfalafel right?? the title of this vlog fits the theme very well too!!
It looks way better!
I wanna see that movie
yea it looks like some super fuckin wholesome art film about really good friends just goofing around and living life...
Vlogs like this remind me how much I haven’t really lived yet
Same lol
Me too
Yeah its just feels like im living like a fever dream that im stuck in and my actual life is like still about to happen
SAME
interesting
I miss Ash:( im literally rewatching old videos cause i miss her hope shes okay and gets back to posting again:(
Same here.
Sameeee
rewatching it also
Same, but she's ok. She's posting on instagram
she's probably never coming back, ever. i think she's done with youtube at this point.
my boyfriend literally looked over while I was watching this and was like "are you watching a movie?" thats how good your editing is queen
lol imagining having a boyfriend
She is a queen. Love watching all your videos, but especially for the editing 👍🏼👏🏼
A true film student lol
👏👏👏
YAAAAASSSSS
Ashley has such a skill for romanticizing everything
omg ur so right???
“Get your croissant and leave” is officially my new catch phrase.
no it’s miiiine lol
IT'S *OURS* LOLOLOLLL
I'm using that when I go to France!
It's comforting to know that even Ashley gets ghosted by guys
lol
If Ashley gets ghosted by guys then what does that mean for me :0
She got ghosted meanwhile I'm on an atheist level shit that even the ghost ain't existed
ashley: my entire wardrobe is quirky, non-sexy clothes
damon: YOU HAVE A CORSET IN ✨GOLD✨, ARE YOU KIDDING ME
you just can’t make up this kind of comedic gold
Sam Han that was the best part lol
The part where they just pass time chatting along makes my socially-deprived self cry just a bit. It’s so beautiful and normal.
But now you can appreciate the simple beauty! Hooray! (Lol)
Hey buddies please touch the egg....
I am crying a lot because I can't so normal things like just hanging out at a friend's house
I love how well Damon handled the french guy not texting back. That’s a great friend right there!
We could all do with this kind of energy in our life! 😂✨
Cried when you said “Damon is one of those people who makes you feel like everything is possible” Its so truee! Ive never even met him but he always has this sincere, positive vibe radiating through everytime i watch him. Love you Damon lmao
This is like a weird time capsule of how the world used to be...
i actually got sad when i saw them going into clubs :(
I know this has nothing to do with what yo just comments but......why? Does your comment have 1.1k likes....and like 2 comments XD
So true omg
yeah like we actually used to live like this
The world? In some countries it's still pretty normal tho.
This got me so nostalgic about the way life used to be...
Ashiq salim no?
I’m here in 2024 and crying 60 seconds in. I don’t know you but I already feel like I do. This channel is my new favorite!
The editing, the architecture, the sky, the conversations, the outfits
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER
everyone repeat after me: ashley’s laugh isn’t obnoxious, it’s adorable as hell
louder for the people in the back ✨✨✨
ashley’s laugh isn’t obnoxious, it’s adorable as hell
ashley's laugh isn't obnoxious, it's adorable as hell
Ashley's laugh isn't obnoxious, it's adorable as hell 💕
right! like I just watched where she wrote that, and I immediately thought what?? that's just a REAL laugh. that's exactly how i laugh when something is purely funny and i have no nervousness, like just REAL. and i recognized it because i havent had one in a long time :(
THE MUSIC IN THIS IS JUST *CHEF'S KISS* ashley's videos are just so homey and exciting and personal. felt like u were with her there in paris
right i felt as if i was watching a friend 🥺 it’s like a dream of mine to meet her n become besties when i’m older
So true!
This is super confusing to me: Why do I have TWO amazingly attractive girlfriends even though I am the unprettiest CZcamsr EVER? Good night dear chloe
yes it makes me feel so good
exactlyy! now i miss travelling 😔
Here for a palate cleanse after watching Emily in Paris, Netflix take notes
Same, I was yelling at the art exhibit 'THATS IN EMILY IN PARIS!'
Yes yes
emily in paris was AWFUL
We want an Ashley and Damon in Paris instead!
"you have a corset in gold are you kidding me? that's so sexy"
no doubt :D
We all need a friend to hype us up like that
“If we all realize that everyone’s unhappy with their body, then why can’t we all be happy with our bodies” THIS
sometimes being unhappy with your body is good when you're eating or starving yourself into an early grave
@@misty.1111 i did that. it wasn't good. after i started working out and eating, i liked my body more because I was leaner and stronger
Wish I could have a friend like Damon. Love his positive personality aura.
Well how about an internet friend, though i don't know if i'm your age
How about you be that person for yourself
“i would not date a birkenstock’s guys anymore” THE AMOUNT OF SHADE
OH YESSS
@chanelis oh. I don’t know who that is but thank you ☺️
' I call it the french oblivion' is one of the most iconic things i have ever heard, love damon
IKR
“Are you being romantic for the sake of being romantic or are you being romantic because that’s how you feel?”
THAT HIT ME HARD
Hey Budd please touch the egg...
samee
Like OUCHHH
bro I read that as he said it
Yeah, I am a flirty person so that hit me too lol 😂
waiting for best dressed THE MOVIE because this editing and dialogue is chef's kiss
Facts. The movie would just be EVERYTHING
Stan. Stan. Stan.
Definitely
well i mean she did go to film school at UCLA are we suprised she is crazy talented
I was just thinking this!! only Ashley can make a vlog this cinematic
When people forget Ashley went to UCLA for film:
Ashley:
“There’s always some standard of beauty you’re not meeting”
- Taylor Swift
Unrealistic beauty standards
“Our problem is we both dress like Sherlock Holmes characters”
god I laughed at this so much!
Lmao when Ashley said that. 🤣
Lmaooo 😂
Honestly same here
lol
Ashley’s vlogs evoke a strange sense of nostalgia in me. Like I was the person holding the camera, hanging out with Damon and Ashley pre-corona and having the time of my life.
Same, not sure why hahah. She’s really good at recreating those vibes in her videos i think
omg i was literally thinking why does this feel so familiar to me even though i’ve never been to paris
You didn't have to say it in words
OH MY GOD YES
Yesss
i rewatch this video like every two months
i love how she's so unalterably herself, the authenticity feels so real
Most people: can’t enter France due to COVID
Ashley: can’t enter France due to calling a pain au chocolate a croissant
Love you guys together
my favorite people together 🖤 i can't with this energy
*chocolatine.
it really do be like that sometimes.
Hey you look like the guy in the video
*GET YOUR CROISSANT AND LEAVE*
Damon, I'm stealing that.
GET DAT BREAD, GET DAT HEAD... DEN LEAVE.
Oshinofa Lakoju PEACE OUT
@@oshinofalakoju5749 ima steal this too ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°
I think it only works in France tho
@@LoquepiensaMich true :(
watching Ashley's old content, waiting for more. this video is like a mini film that deserves an award. Ashley when r u releasing ur first film, we need dates. :)
Oh, yessss! I discovered her channel an hour ago, and I am impressed!
I come back to this video for comfort all the time, even though Ashley stopped making vídeos 2 years ago. I miss her❤
Ashley be drinking mimosas along the Seine with her stylish friend then met a hot french man at a rave---like this is how we all imagined our early twenties would be. Get it girl, this is the dream.
Their friendship is like the cutest thing in this whole entire world !
I thought this was going to be a tragique vlog about visiting a fling Paris, and was so happy it was a buddy trip comedy instead.
Man Idk if it's just me, but everyone seemed so much happier
How did this make ME feel intensely nostalgic and I wasn't even there? I hope you look back on your life to adventures like that and feel accomplished, because you have really lived and it is beautiful
this legitimately made me tear up. this is what i miss so dearly: traveling, making new friends and visiting old ones, and just a normal world where we can hug people again
im glad u made this comment bc i teared up too bc i miss my friends sm and thought i was finally going insane
“Our problem is we both dress like Sherlock Holmes characters”
I don't see how that's a problem
Exactly
Dark Academia has entered the chat ❤️
That is the opposite of a problem, I dress like a coraline reject lmao
Back at it again with my rewatching Ashley videos bc I saw a thing on her Instagram. Though the craving hit a bit later but she posted another Paris rave experience on her stories and I was like !!!!! So glad she's out there living her best life haha
I don’t know why but i feel the urge to turn this video into a novel
Nah novels are boring but I love thisss
please do that. i would read the crap out of it.
that sounds so good totally do it
the aesthetic of their friendship and wholesomeness, golden!!!!
@Arkham Knight then why are you here
"flaky without realizing it" what French boys and croissants have in common
Underrated comment.
😂
Underrated comment
yall are cute af
you need to set ashley up on a date for a video🤭🤭🤭🤭
@@ameliaschulte y’all need to tell her lol she won’t know who I am
Googles tryna translate this comment 😂😂
After having lived in France for a while, this vlog truly reminds me of the wonder people feel when they arrive or do vacations. Living tho is so different.
better or worse?
worse
It's honestly so jarring to see this pre-pandemic world again and the natural happiness that Ashley (and so many of us really) had back then. Wow. Puts things into perspective in ways I didn't want it to, but still good to see
Yea I agree. Cried so much watching this. It was good though, I needed to be reminded that the world can be like this.
Love your profile pic🙌🙌
I love dean sm
Yes. I am crying so hard not only for myself but also dor our much loved Ashley since she seems so sad or depressed on her post pandemic videos.
This was so well done I cannot even explain. The feeling and emotion, feeling like you’re at a sleepover in Paris with them, going through the mini heartbreak of not hearing back from a boy you met the night before, having a friendship that feels like it can last a life time, and just being a 20 something year old. This is definitely my favorite video of Ashley’s. I really loved how she pieced it altogether and it really was a lot of them just talking and hanging out but in such a relatable way.
Perfectly put. I felt this too.
Definitely a movie we want to see :)
Perfectly put 💛
omg you couldn't have described it better !! that's deadass so accurate tho
@@lemonzingah im your 1000th like 😍
the saddest part is i realized i forgot what it looks like for hundreds of people to be in one area not wearing masks :(
I love how happy and carefree she looks. I hope she stays like that. Europe suits her. Also i hope get to feel like that soon.
This makes me so nostalgic to when we didn’t have to worry about a pandemic. I loved living vicariously through this video
!!!
same!!
i didn't realize how much I missed life like this until I watched this
Same
ashley if you’re seeing this i recommend getting a cat if you are getting a little lonely in new york they are such a lovely companion to snuggle with and are low maintenance i think you'd love having a little friend
I wanted some advice regarding this. I'm actually a real cuddle monster and have kept many pets all my life but never a cat because all of my friends and family who have one said they are quite moody and don't generally like being cuddly? I want to keep a cat now but only two days ago a friend sent me a picture of how his cat left horrible scratches on his arm and he was laughing about it but I was genuinely terrified.
Could you tell me more about cats please? Dogs have too much energy and I'm a lazy 25 year old. My beagle exhausts me so I can't keep anymore of them
@@cosmicmuse2900 cats don't tend to be so vicious unless you have a really horrid cat- you could adopt a stray from a rescue centre? and ask the workers there which one has the sweetest disposition. I don't know too much about them, but in general they're good companions
@@clemmiemayhew456 aah, I understand what you mean and every animal is the same in that regard. But I need advice from someone who's kept a few cats over their lifetime and knows them well enough to guide me in details.
@@cosmicmuse2900 heyy :D i have two cats rn and what i can say is that although less high maintenance than dogs for sure, indoor cats also need a lot of mental stimulation through "alone toys", toys you handle yourself, scratchers, high places etc so that they don't become angery lil loafs (in my experience anyway haha) other than that yes they are very much a match for chill people they r very snuggly and cute :')
edit: omg it may seem a lot but most of their needs are DIY-able!! like my kitten, he loves chasing around shoelaces and crumpled paper sksjskska
This content is beautifully transparent. I'm in my 30's and my now husband and I used to rave quite a bit in Europe, Detroit, and Seattle. Multiple scenes and conversations capture the excitement of the unknown and how it feels to be living in the moment (there is so much more that is going on off camera too). Thank you Ashley.
Damon: "get your croissant and leave."
Ashley: 👁👄👁
he said get that bread get that head and leave
😂😂
@@chandlerbing-a-ling1756 😂😂
this made me so nostalgic for a reality I never had. Her editing, filming, and personality are altogether so amazing
I know what you mean
Same, thought I was weird feeling that way hahaha.
"The next morning when you're like hungover and shit..." "He's like 'Get your croissant and leave" LOL too real
i swear i could watch this a million times on a row. it’s so well filmed and just warms my heart
Before quarantine I use to live my life trough somebody else's. I would live through books, movies, series, CZcams channels, imaginary scenarios. I would take stories that belong to someone else and made them mine and pretend that was living. If the world doesn't end, I will stop. I will live my own life and make my own stories. Because I want this. I want to hang out with a friend in Paris and feel like it's okay. I want sunsets, rivers, raves and love. I want to feel firsthand what this kind of happiness feels like. I want friendship this pure and air this sweet.
beautifully said ❤️
been saying that to myself fo a while, i was planning on starting it on 2020...
Beautifully said ❤️
Ur literally meeee
This... I’m hoping you are able to do everything you wish for ❤️
that dude is the most entertaining person to be around wtf I wanna see him more
He has a channel. It's just his name Damon Dominique
you should check out his "red wine talks" series, it kinda has the same vibes
ikr he is so much fun
he's been making content for yearsssss with his friend Jo (Damon and Jo) and they've travelled to every corner of the world.they both speak tons of languages and are funny asf
hi ashley you might not read this but thank you for your content that you put out here. i still dont get why people are so pressed when you're simply being yourself, showing your thoughts and how you view the world through your lens. i relate to your content a lot and it gives me a whole lot of comfort. as i brew in my mess and state of not-too-good-ness these few weeks, your videos give me a sense of calm while mirroring my thoughts and how i view the world. it gives me strength! haha thank you
2:56, Damon:
"We grew up in the states thinking"
--initiate voice crack--
"We're the freest country ever!"
lesson learned ladies, never trust a cute french boy in overalls
Honestly, never trust a cute French boy.
Heyy,i was wondering if you could help me reach my goal of 450 subs ? Thankyou 🦋❤
@@sanasdiary4851 no
I'm glad you decided to edit and post this. Even if this isn't our reality for the time being it makes me look forward to how great it will be when we hopefully get to live like this again
the amount of times i come back to rewatch this specific vlog is getting unhealthy
I know, i still do
Same. It means a lot to me because one one hand, there is that one specific version of Ashley that we love and on the other hand, I can vividly remember my old self. It's a crazy feeling
been over 2 years and i still rewatch it every dew months
this is my comfort vid, fr, i’ve watched it like 15 times i think
same😭😭 i’ve watched like 8 times- i wish ashley would come back to youtube and post bc she’s literally my comfort person
"damon is one of those people who makes you feel like anything is possible"
wish i had a damon ;--;
i want to hope that im a damon for my friends bc im always trying to tell them to do whatever the fuck they want!! like im looking at universities in europe even though it seems impossible but im gonna get it done!! i hope that whatever seems impossible for you right now you can chase after before its too late:')
ps. i hope u find ur damon or that i felt like one for u for a split second, have a great life stranger
too bad what we got is a demon lol
i strive to be everybody's damon, i wish i knew you :(
the fact that we're closer to october 2020 than to october 2019 (when the vlog was filmed) makes me uncomfy
oooffff
Almost 7 months of quarantine/social disctance
@@helingunes955 more like 5.5-6 months. At least for me things shut down and got serious 2nd week of march
@@liv7708 yeah same but i started counting from march and added september since things are still very serious and my non online school starts at the end of september
One of my comfort videos 🥲
I cried when Damon said this is happiness move to Paris, felt like he was talking to me I need friends lmaooo
"Get your croissant and leave" is the french "get that bread, get that head, then leave."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
Hey Budd please touch the egg.
Prend ton croissant et fiche le camp
Watching this feels like chilling with a friend that you havent seen a while but missed dearly.
I miss one friend, I checked in on one a few years ago, and we both changed too much
I want to see Jojo, I haven’t seen her in a few years, and I miss her, and the fun we used to have, making videos and spending hours playing Minecraft
This is the best friendship I’ve seen like ever
its 2024, been a long while since ashley posted on yt, but this video is still so comforting to me, just watched a video on philosophy (by damon) and it hit me how i had seen that person somewhere and the nostalgia hit me so hard to bring me back here.
"I would not date a Birkenstock guy anymore"
Sis really went there.
omg ikr 💀
With NO HESITATION 💅🏾
david hearing that 👁👄👁
I screech when i heard that
i've been scrolling for this comment
Damon: “We can go get breakfast tomorrow morning”
What a good pal 🥺👉🏼👈🏼❤️
@packer9 what the fuck are you talking about
God it's you, i discovered you when you had like 300 subscribers and after years I stumbled back at you and now you've grown so much. So proud mama!!
the last time I watched this was a year ago today and it still radiates comfort
„We both dress like Sherlock Holmes characters...“ The most accurate way to describe her style, really!
characters*
where are my fellow sherlock fans??
damon spoke the truth. "that if we all realize that everyone isn't happy with their bodies then why can't we just be happy with their bodies??"
The conversation yall had before the party is me at my friends every time I go out. I have ZERO sexy clothes and my friends laugh at me for it when they can drag me out of the house. lol
finals week always sends me back to my comfort video
it's so endearing how this video is basically a tribute to ashley's friend
Hey Budd please touch the egg..

Nada Aouine exactly
i keep coming back to this vlog every once in a while cuz it’s so wholesome, it’s truly one of my comfort videos
This is my still my favourite comfort video. We miss you Ashley :,)
at some point, i started crying because i genuinely forgot what it was like to just go out and have fun with friends like this. i miss these days. so much.
x2 I want to feel again😔
never had friends to go out like that in the first place💩
I thought it was just me who also cried
Ashley and Damon Dominique, the pair we didn't ask for but we needed.
I am eternally grateful ❤️. I am half french(Parisian) and because of covid can't go back. I've watched this video about 5 times now(and cried every time), and watch it every time I get too homesick. I can't thank you enough for transporting me back to the place I want to be even though it's only for 17:17... I love you, you are the best, and I can't even begin to express how happy this video makes me.
I loooooved this
*Damon: get ur cRoiSsAnT and LEavE*
