Hello, hello! Happy Halloween Eve!

Today, I’m sharing my best Kate Middleton costume to celebrate! I do wish I had gotten a little white hat to wear, like she does sometimes, but I think it’s still a pretty good imitation of my girl crush. She always wears pretty, conservative dresses that hit just at the knee with neutral shoes. I love her style because she doesn’t shun smaller, less expensive brands. While she does have the ability to wear designer, she realizes that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to look good! I also love that she always looks polished and lady-like, never overdone. Keep it up, Kate!

Her and I still have yet to grab afternoon tea. She’s so busy these days but she promised that we would before I leave. *fingers crossed*

This dress is super cute and great for a Sunday church service or a friends baby shower. I am wearing an XXS but it was still a bit big on me, so size down if you can. I love the light blue silk collar and sleeve detail. I feel like it adds a great ladylike touch to the dress. It may be a little late in the year to wear this dress but it’s a great option for Spring and Summer to have ready in your closet! It’d be super cute with a belt. I actually almost wore it with a leopard belt the other day!

Modcloth has a wide variety of special occasion dresses to take a look at if you’re shopping for an upcoming event. Here are some that I personally love:

The navy blue princess dress is DEFINITELY a favorite. I wish I had something to wear that to here in London! It’s so gorgeous!

Speaking on London, my time here is almost up. I’m really not ready. Don’t get me wrong. I love America. I love home, but – even though I don’t have a strong community of friends here – I find so much inspiration  and I’m never bored. I’ve had such a blast meeting new people, seeing new things, trying new restaurants, learning a different culture and how to live somewhere completely different than where I’m from. It’s everything I’ve been wanting in a place to live for a long time now. But, I am thankful for the time I’ve had here and will always cherish it. I’ve had a lot of you ask me on Snapchat for an update on my life here, a certain aspect of my life, at least, but – the truth is – I’m not ready. While I have always loved sharing life’s latest with you all, there will always be times where I just don’t feel like it or it just isn’t the right time for whatever reason … and so, until I am ready and until it is time … just know that I am okay and I am happy.

It all is the way it should be.

Happy Happy Sunday, friends! Thank you so much for stopping by today! xo.

P.S. I know it was a crazy weekend for a lot of people, so head HERE if you missed the Instagram + Weekend Sale Roundup from yesterday!

      Oh wow. Thank you so much, Lindsay. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. I think it is something people forget – and also, that maybe I haven’t shared because I don’t want to. Yet. 🙂 Anyway, glad I do have such sweet followers. Appreciate y’all more than you know! xo.

    Hi Haley! Been following you for a while. And also guilty for wondering what’s going on with certain aspect of your life. Just wanted to let you know that I’m glad you are OK and happy. These things are never easy. I think you are very brave and strong. I’m rooting for you! And of course you are so cute and classy in this dress. But you already know that 😀
