If you aren’t following me on Snapchat (hayleypaigeee), then you’re probably wondering where I have been on my blog! I’ve been recovering from being sick this past week, but I’m back!! I wanted to give my readers a little life update and Instagram update! First off, if you haven’t noticed I’ve been on a semi-hiatus from my blog this past month. There are a lot of reasons for this, but the main one is that I’ve found so much more joy/fulfillment in creating Youtube videos lately that I’ve decided to put forth most of my effort into that! With that being said, my blog will always still be here and I’ll try my hardest to update it a few times a week, but for those of you who aren’t subscribed to my Youtube channel, I post a new video every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and daily vlog in between that when I have time. Youtube really is so much more personal than blogging (I talked all about this in my “How To Start A Blog” video and my “How To Make Money Blogging” video). Although I love sharing updates on my life through pictures and words, there’s really nothing like watching a video and seeing all the emotions of a persons day that captures your attention. I love how there’s a constant back and forth with my audience through the comments and they really are able to get to know who I am. Sometimes that can be hard through a blog unless you write A TON and I’m definitely not much of a writer:) I’ve shared some pretty personal things in video form and although hesitant at first, the overwhelming amount of support and encouragement I’ve received from my subscribers makes it all worth it! Anyways, onto the Instagram update!:)

Here’s my Mom and I at my tea party bridal shower last month! I’m wearing this dress from Lulu’s and some old favorite wedges from none other than Target!;) Here’s some similar ones!

This romper from Revolve is my new favorite for those hot Spring/Summer days (only $31!)! It’s so flowy and comfortable! Loving this long necklace from Kendra Scott as well:)

My current desk set up! Most of the items are from Home Goods (where else?;), but this mug, these save the dates, and this microphone that I use to film my voiceovers for Youtube (it’s really good!).

Dying over this off the shoulder midi length dress from Revolve (can you tell it’s my new favorite store?) and this Star Mela clutch.

A recent throwback to this post wearing my favorite LBD from Donna Morgan with the prettiest lace details. (Shop the newest version here)

Soaking up the pre-summer weather wearing the perfect straw hat and linen dress. (LOVING this straw hat for summer and this all white dress)

Ignore the messy background! I was holed up on my couch for quite a while when I was sick;) Seriously dying over the cold shoulder trend!! I got this dress during my spring haul  and have been wearing it ever since! P.S. Here is my everyday monogrammed necklace by Swell Caroline! c/o

I’m immediately drawn to anything with tassels! Although they can get annoying when you wear them for an entire day haha It’s worth it!;) Dress, Shoes, Kate Spade Handbag (sold out)

I just received this passport holder with my new monogram (c/o)! It came just in time for Japan in two months! Loving this floral skater dress too!

I’ll be doing a full review on my eyelash extensions on my Youtube channel at the end of this month, but for now here is the lady I go to if you live in the LA area! They are seriously AMAZING so far and this picture was taken after 3 weeks of having them! They last forever and she is the sweetest!
