Happy Easter pretty friends! I somehow managed to get up early enough before church to write this post... what is up with me?! I'm currently sitting on the couch trying to decide what dress I still want to wear today, maxi or long sleeve printed, I do not know, help!!!  

How fun and 70's are these sunglasses!! They are probably the lightest pair of sunglasses I have ever own and I honestly forget when I have them on because I can't feel them on my head. These are the Legend by Bolon USA and they come in so many cute colors for spring and summer. I'm also feeling their green and blue pair :) 

We all know  I love a fun pair of pants. They are just the perfect, versatile piece to have in your closet because I can wear them to work with a blazer or a blouse and then go home and change into a graphic tee to wear them more casual. Going home and changing my pants is one less thing I have to do, and decide on haha!

I'm so, so happy I don't have to wear a coat to work or bundle up when I run to the gym! Spring is my absolute FAVORITE! The flowers and trees are starting to bloom here and it seems like it just happened over night. I don't want to miss a single second of it trapped inside. I can't get enough of the yellow and nude-pinks in my wardrobe either! I'll be wearing thisdress and these sneakers all through summer.

It’s Friday night, I’m watching Our Planet on Netflix and waiting for my banana bread to bake in the over. Now that is my kind of Friday night after a long and tiring week!

I haven’t done a life update on here in a while and thought I should! February and March were big months for me. Starting at the beginning of Feb, my best friend in the whole world got engaged AND my sister did two weeks later!!!!!  Have I stopped crying tears of joy? No. My life is in full swing get my besties and sis married, celebrated, working and finding time to manage my Instagram in-between.  Mid-Feb, Austin and I went to Seattle for a long weekend getaway and had a blast! We got tattoos together (my first!!)! Stay tuned for that post :)

In between all of this, I got an incredible opportunity at work for a promotion in a new position and started right when we got back from Seattle. Work has been crazy busy and fun but last weekend I was sure happy to be letting loose and going on a girls trip to Nashville to celebrate one of my college bestie’s bachelorette party weekend.

This week is NWA Fashion week and I was super excited when they asked me to attend for press! Last night was their first ever bridal night and I got to see my cute former bosses from Tesori and their curated styles for the show. Saturday I’m excited to attend a panel with Nylon Magazine’s Editor in Chief, Gabrielle Korn. I’m probably most excited about this one. It’s crazy to me that lil' ole Bentonville has events like this now. Next up Bentonville Film Festival in May!

All of this life living, is why I have been a little MIA on here, however I plan on getting back into things a bit more for spring and I am really excited to get into my little hideaway and write some more.
Thanks for stopping by and being apart of Haley’s Dailies!!

I've never gotten more compliments on a perfume than my new Oscar De La Renta Bella Blanca perfume! It has sweet notes of flowers as well as citrus and it's the perfect combination for moving into spring. I love when I come home in the evening and Maui smells like it because I usually spray it and he's near or I pick him up and it gets on him; my favorite haha!

We all wear perfume or scented lotion for obvious reasons, but have you ever thought of the benefits of it and how to truly take care of it?! Let's talk about why it's beneficial and when you should switch it up.

1.) Boosts your mood: Just like wearing a pretty dress you love, smelling pretty can boost your confidence and your mood. When you enhance your mood, you can help relieve stress and anxiety!

2.) Reflects your mood/personality: Feeling happy and playful or romantic and sweet? Bring out how you are feeling with your perfume and everyone around you will sense that energy (literally).

3.) TIP: Store your perfume in the fridge!!! According to perfume experts, storing your perfume on the bottom shelf of the fridge makes them last longer. The "top notes" (the smells you immediately recognize and are most significant) can go bad within just a few short months or lose scent.

4.) Special Occasions: Especially your wedding day! Wearing a new and special perfume on your wedding day and then using it for special date nights or events will always make you remember that day in an extra way. It will essentially create a "smell memory" in your brain that can last a lifetime! And who doesn't want that for their wedding day!? When picking one out, stick to something with one of your favorite notes, but something more romantic or exciting.

One of my favorite ways to keep my perfume fresh during the day is by using the bottle in the morning and then having a rollerball in my purse handy! Smell pretty my friends!

I'm all about some dainty details with my jewelry. What I love even more? Adding a statement piece and completing my look down to every little ring. When you see someone that just looks like they have it all figured out and they always look so put together, take a look at their jewelry. That's almost always the finishing touch that perfects an outfit. One of my favorite brands for mixing and matching jewelry is Gorjana! Whether you love rose gold, silver, or classic gold they have the perfect items from dainty to statement with the perfect luxe look. I'm also obsessed with my new Arlo and Joy necklace with this blue crystal. They have amazing, one-of-a kind type pieces that go so well with all my Gorjana ones :)
Here are some of my favorite pieces I wear to finish off every look!

One of my New Year's resolutions this year is to create a neutral, mini capsule wardrobe for each season. When I cleaned out my closet the other day I realized this would be harder than I thought. I LOVE color! It brightens up my day and often times completes the perfect outfit. ​However, at other times, I find myself struggling to find classic outfits I can mix and match on a day-to-day basis. 

​The reason I decided to do a “mini capsule” is so that I can throw in my more color and printed pieces with my neutrals and it will help expand my wardrobe’s potential. Here are a few easy steps on how to create your own personal mini capsule wardrobe!

I love shades of beige and will always be a grey girl! You will be shopping for your missing staple items in these colors.

For me this would be different types of turtleneck sweaters and skinny jeans for fall and winter; more of a French, casual style. During the warmer months I thrive off of dresses and mini skirts. Once you know what you are more likely to grab off the hanger on a rushed morning, you can shop for styles that will mix and match in your “capsule palette.” For example, I also wear a lot of different pinks. I love how these Free People pants are almost neutral, still bring color into my outfit, but I can wear a lot of different solid tops with them to switch it up.

​I’m not saying you have to throw out your prints, because those are your accent pieces! What I am saying though, is that having solid textures or monochromatic prints helps you mix and match more. One great thing about sweater styles right now is all of the different weaves that are perfect for adding detail to your look. Find a nice pair of textured pants you can wear to the office with a blouse but can change into a fitted top with those same pants when you head out for dinner.
 
Just because it’s a capsule wardrobe doesn’t mean it has to be boring and basic, it just means it has to fit your current wardrobe to elevate and expand it! Happy capsuling ladies!! ;)

I love nothing more than a piece for my closet that can be worn from the office straight to date night! This. Bag. Has. It! Melie Bianco handbags are vegan, cruelty free in every way (workers included), and just overall amazing quality! For all you animals lovers like me out there, they are also Peta award winners as 'Best Animal-Friendly Accessories'

I love that I can wear this one two ways: as a hands-free waist bag to edge up my look, or with the cross body strap for everyday wear. Throw it on with a faux fur coat, your favorite pair of booties, and your outfit is elevated X 100! For someone who is always running around from work on a Friday to dinner and a night out, I am always looking for pieces that can transition well as staples, but one's that aren't too basic and boring. This Stalking Gia Convertible Crossbody is the perfect answer and it's now on sale!! It also comes in black and a sassy red to really be a statement piece; I'm obsessed. Don't miss their sale, I have a feeling it's going to be an 'add to cart' kind of weekend for me :)

Thank you Melie Bianco for sponsoring this post!
Happy weekend loves!
