Hi friends! I am so excited for today’s post!
Q&A’s are so fun and it’s always so interesting to see what you guys want to know about me. It’s hard to respond to all of the DM’s that come my way, which is such a hard reality for me to face because I always want to get back to everyone, so I love that these posts allow me to answer a lot of your questions all at once. These posts also allow me to share the answers with more people!
So, let’s get started!
General About Me
When is your birthday? How old are you?
I turned 32 on February 25th. I shared 32 of my absolute favorite things in THIS post and 31 things you may not know about me in THIS posts. Birthday posts are always fun to put together.
How tall are you?
I’m 5’3!
What is your enneagram number?
Oh my gosh. I absolutely love that you asked me this question. I discovered the Enneagram last year after my best friend, Whitney, begged me to take it! With that said, I did take the test and, to answer your question, I’m a 9 with a 1 wing. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you need to take the Enneagram test. It’s essentially a personality test that gives you insight into what the main motivating driver is for your behavior. The numbers indicate a personality type so a 9 is the Peacemaker, whose behavior is motivated by doing what they can to ‘keep the peace’ with the people in their life. They strive for connection with others above all else and it can sometimes be hard for them to own their opinions and stand confident in them when others don’t necessarily share the same view. Every number has strengths, weaknesses and areas that you need to be aware of in order to be your best self. It’s been a really great tool to use to be a little more self-aware in regard to my behavior and use it to call myself out when I’m doing something that is ‘unhealthy’, like not seeing / realizing the value that my opinion holds, whether people like it or not. Take it! It’s really interesting! I’d love to know your number!
What is your typical coffee order?
I typically make myself a latte with my Nespresso machine in the morning with 2% milk and two sugars. When I go to Starbucks, I get a Venti iced coffee with extra 2% milk and 2 sugars. At my favorite local coffee shop, I get an iced honey latte. No sugar needed in that one! It’s so good!
Fish & Chips
What kind of dogs are Fish and Chips? And how did they join your family?
Fish is a pure-bred Dachshund. Chips is a Dachshund / Jack Russell Terrier mix. I shared how Chips joined the family in THIS post and shared Fish’s story in THIS super old post!
Can you do more videos of Fish & Chips? They melt my heart.
Haha! Yes! I think I can make that happen! They melt my heart, too!
I just got a dachshund. What kind of food do you feed yours? Also, do you have any tips for a new dachshund moms?
I feed the boys Nutro and they love it! New tips for dachshund moms … just know that your baby is stubborn by nature, ha, and there’s not much you can do about it so, practice patience and ALWAYS have treats on hand [stubbornness can strike at any moment] and start training them early. Get them into a routine so they know what they can expect from you [when they’ll be fed, when they go outside, etc.]. Hope that helps! Dachsy’s are the sweetest babies!
Nursing
If you weren’t blogging, do you think you would still be an RN at the moment?
Yes! I more than likely would be certified as a Neuro nurse. I could see myself moving up to the Neuro ICU vs. continuing to work on the Progressive Unit unless an Assistant Nurse Manager position had become available. I was seen as a leader on my floor and would work as relief charge nurse when my ANM’s were off or called out and I think if I hadn’t found my passion for blogging, I think I would have put more time and attention in expanding my role on my floor.
Do you ever miss nursing?
Sometimes! I loved walking into a patients room every morning and being able to say I was going to be their nurse that day. I miss sitting down with co-workers and taking report, knowing I was competent and experienced enough to handle most things [although, of course, you are ALWAYS learning!]. But, I think when I walked away from nursing I was very ready to say goodbye, as much as it held a very special place in my heart. I was excited to see what this whole blogging thing had in store and dedicate more time to curating content for readers without any schedule constraints. I don’t regret my decision but I do miss all my co-workers. They really do become like family and you share SO many silly experiences together working in a healthcare setting. Hey … people come into the hospital for some crazy things sometimes, ha! Read my goodbye letter to Nursing HERE.
Personal Life / Dating
Do you see yourself getting married and having kids someday?
I absolutely do! I just haven’t found that special someone yet that makes me feel like I can be completely myself, who has shared values, who loves to travel, respects what I do, loves my dogs, makes me laugh, is silly, etc. This isn’t a checklist or anything 😉 No, seriously. I don’t have one but those are things that I think would be attractive to find in another person.
Style
Which pair of shoes could you not live without?
My Tory Burch Miller sandals in Sand Patent.
What was your first designer handbag purchase and do you still love it?
My first designer handbag was a beige Valentino satchel. It’s featured in a lot of old posts. I think THIS was the most recent one. I still have it and absolutely love it. I don’t think I’ll ever sell it! It’s an oldie but a goodie! The outfit details aren’t there anymore because of the blog redesign so I apologize for that!
Do you ever feel overwhelmed with clothes and purchases?
This sounds bad but, yes! It’s part of what I do to consistently have new products come in from my personal purchases to PR companies sending me new press packages. However, it’s the nature of what I do so I do what I need to manage the chaos and the ‘clutter’ that can quickly accumulate. We donate and sell clothes, I have a chest of drawers that I store trial skincare and makeup products. It’s not a bad problem to have but it does take some time to figure out how to manage it all.
Blogging
Can you tell us how you edit your photos for Instagram?
I use the following app’s: Color Story, VSCO, Snapseed, Darkroom .. although I don’t use every app on every photo. It just depends on what the photo needs in terms of editing.
UPDATE [1/9/19] I’ve been using Lightroom to edit my photos since September / October of last year and it has been SUCH an enjoyable process. There is a bit of a learning curve but once you find presets that work for you, or develop your own, which I did eventually, it makes the overall editing of your IG photos so much quicker and easier!
How do you do the ‘swipe up’ feature on IG stories? Is that only for influencers?
I think you have to have a business account on Instagram!
Do you keep all of the clothes you purchase / style?
I keep the most versatile pieces and pieces I know I want to have as an option for an outfit in the future. I keep almost all of my plaid button-up’s, because I love them, and white, gray and stripe tee’s. I also keep a lot of nice blouses because I think those can be hard to find. Anything that I love but know I won’t wear as frequently, I want to go to people who will give it so much more use than I ever will so I’ll sell them on Shop Alyson Haley or we’ll donate them to a women’s shelter or my church’s thrift store.
What advice would you give first time bloggers on where to begin and how to get started?
I have five main pieces of advice for people who want to be a blogger:
• Do it for the right reasons!
• Have fun!
•Know that it takes time!
• Be yourself!
• Keep your eyes in your own lane!
I expound on all of these points in this massive Blogging FAQ post HERE!
I shared the 5 things I’ve learned after five years of blogging in THIS post!
What is your favorite part about blogging?
There are so many things that I love about blogging! I spilled them all over on my FAQ page!
Can bloggers really make enough money (salary) to live a good lifestyle? I’m really curious how you’re able to make money doing this job.
There a lot of bloggers who have been able to live a very comfortable living. It’s important to realize that a lot of blogs, as they grow, become businesses so the business makes money and the blogger pays themselves a salary. They also pay photographers, contracted or full-time employees like assistants, partnership managers, creative directors, co-content creators, etc! So, yeah! Blogs can definitely generate enough income to support the blogger and other people which, in my opinion, is such a blessing knowing that what I’m doing supports other people and their families. So, thank you for the support you show my blog! It means a lot to more people than just me 🙂
Would you ever be willing to mentor / help out new bloggers that live in Jacksonville?
Unfortunately, at this time, I am not available for professional mentorships. I am not completely against it. My team and I are in a season of growth, which is super exciting, but it’s really important to be intentional about stewarding this growth well by putting new team members and processes in place in order to meet the needs that are being placed on us. So, I don’t feel like the experience would be rewarding for any party involved while we are juggling and growing accustomed to so many new things. I am hopeful that this changes in the future, though!
Beauty
Do you get Botox? Your forehead looks amazing.
I don’t get it consistently. I got it once in early 2017 and a second time in April. It wears off after a few months and I think I just got busy after it wore off the first time. I can be really consistent with some beauty upkeep type things like getting my nails done [I go every two weeks], getting my roots done [I go every three weeks] and getting my eyebrows done [I go once a month, maybe] but it can eat up so much time out of my day, depending on what it is, that would be better spent doing something more pertinent to work. But, in case you’re in Jacksonville and wondering, I go to CMA Medicine for Botox and their office is 40 minutes from my house so, to go to and from on a work day doesn’t always make sense so I can be a little inconsistent with stuff like Botox and spray tanning, as much as I think it does look good / make a difference!
Do you have an eyeliner tutorial anywhere? I would love to see how you do yours!
I don’t have a dedicated eyeliner tutorial but I did do a everyday makeup routine tutorial on the blog a few months ago that you can check out HERE. I have since changed what eyeliner I use regularly now, though.
Your eyeliner is always flawless. What brand do you use?
First of all, thank you! Eyeliner is my biggest every makeup routine STRUGGLE. Ha! I feel like I can never get it symmetrical on both sides!
I use the Karl Lagerfeld liquid eyeliner that I reviewed in THIS post. I allows me to easily get a good wing at the end and some others I’ve tried don’t work as well or I end up making a huge mess of my eye makeup! Highly recommend!
What is your favorite everyday perfume?
I’ve worn it for YEARS. Whenever I’m around friends that I’ve been close with for a long time and I spray it, they’re like ‘OMG whenever I’m around someone who wears this, it reminds me of you!’ haha! I’m super picky when it comes to perfume because I get headaches really easily from them. I only have three that I wear regularly: Versace Bright Crystal, Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb and Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris
What curling iron do you use for your short hair now?
I use the same wand I’ve been using lately, the L’ange Lustre 32mm Titanium Wand! The absolute best thing about this wand is that it’s currently on major sale! Go HERE and scroll down. You’ll click on ‘Any Lustre’ and you can pick and choose what color you want and what size barrel. Regardless of your choices, you’ll get the wand for $59.00! That’s over $100 off it’s normal price and such a good deal for a high quality wand!
What temperature do you set your curling wand to? How many seconds do you hold it? What barrel size do you use?
I set mine to 430 degrees. I hold for about 4-5 seconds. I use the 32mm barrel which is essentially an 1.25″ barrel.
Travel
Will you be traveling to any of the beautiful US states anytime soon?
Yes! I have a family reunion in the mountains of North Carolina next month. Then, I’m making two separate trips to New York in September / October and tacking on some extra time up there to check out Vermont, New Hampshire and maybe somewhere else. I also am going to try and swing some time in Colorado this year, as well, because it’s been too long since I’ve been there and it’s one of my favorite places in the States.
Would you ever live in London permanently?
I would! The trouble is finding a VISA that works best for my line of work. I’m also not completely confident that my business would be as sustainable there as it is here as 95% of my audience is American and I’m not sure how well I’d serve you if it was really challenging to shop at a lot of the stores y’all shop at. Import taxes are also really, really expensive there, as well as living expenses. SO … it would be a dream come true and I don’t believe God put that desire in my heart just to let it torture me so I’m intrigued to see what my future holds. I will always be continuously looking for ways to get there, ways to change the business in a natural way to where I could live there and also serve others in some way that paid my bills hah! So, anyway, stay tuned. I talked a little bit more about this in THIS post from a few months ago. It has to do with the fear I have about this whole thing. 🙂
How many countries have you been to?
I think 18:
USA, Canada, Mexico, England, Ireland, Wales, Curacao, Germany, France, Portugal, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Greece and Spain. [updated – 8.24.2018] I’d love to include Bermuda but it’s technically not a sovereign state. It is self-governing but it is still a territory of Great Britain.
What is your top bucket list destination?
Well, I have a long list but I think Hawaii & the Maldives are two places I’m saving to experience with my special someone! And then, aside from those, I have been REALLY wanting to go to Jordan. It looks UNREAL. Look up Petra if you’ve never heard of it. I’d also love to do Istanbul, Turkey and a bunch of different places in Croatia and Montenegro.
Do you have any Denver area recommendations?
Gosh, it’s been so long since I lived there so I’m sure I’m not as up on the newest places but I always loved Marg’s [their prickly pear margarita is so good!], Lucky Pie, Highland Tap & Burger, and Illegal Pete’s. They opened The Kitchen in LoDo right before I left and I heard it is SO good, but never got a chance to go myself. You HAVE to go to Snooze for brunch. Their pancakes are everything! And, stop at Little Man Ice Cream for the best ice cream ever!! Also, the Ale House has an amazing view of downtown from their rooftop!
Where is your next travel destination?
I’m answering this in the Ask Alyson Haley newsletter this week! Subscribe HERE!
How do you decide where to travel?
It depends on who my travel buddy is. If I’m traveling with a photographer for a trip that I want to go on, I have a little bit more of a say on where I go. I have a long running list of places I want to go during certain times of the year. So, actually, I kind of already know where I am heading next year [at least some places] because there have been places I’ve wanted to go for awhile but previous trips worked out before those did. But, if I’m traveling with a friend of mine, then we talk through where we might want to go and spread out our potential travel dates and just see what places come up as the most affordable! That’s kind of what happened with this trip I just booked!
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Questions
Why is it that some of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale items are featured by so many bloggers?
The first few days of Early Access is tough. Honestly, as bloggers, we don’t want to be promoting all of the same products that other bloggers are. We want to share things that are unique, that y’all want to engage in and that you ideally haven’t seen before, but our only option on those first couple of days is to go to our local stores and buy the items that we like out of the merchandise that is in the store. I think you’d see more variety if we had as much merchandise to choose from if our stores had as much merchandise as the online store does. There’s no other reason than that! There’s just a limited number of products to choose from and when so many bloggers are promoting the sale, there’s obviously going to be crossover! I hope that helps make sense of it!
I’m just curious. During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, do bloggers have to buy their own items?
Yes! We buy all of our own products from Nordstrom during the Anniversary Sale. We shop the sale just like you do and spend our own money on all of the sale items that you see us promote. Whether or not they’re promoted because they actually like them or not is up to you to decide!
Will you share your favorite men’s options or bloggers’ who have shared their favorite menswear options from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
My friend Courtney Shields did on her blog, I believe!
Alright, that about does it for this Q&A! I hope you enjoyed it! I’ll be answering a few more questions on IG stories today but, if you’re interested, I share a weekly Q&A newsletter called Ask Alyson Haley. It goes out on Wednesday mornings and allows me to tackle the questions that y’all have for me via DM that I can’t always get to throughout the day and it allows me to answer them and share them with more than just that one person! If you haven’t subscribed, I’d love for you to join in on the fun! My newsletter subscribers are privy to insider information that not everyone gets to know about me. They also get exclusive giveaway offers and, if you think about it, your chances of winning are much higher because you’re competing with less people than you are on Instagram and IG stories!
Subscribe HERE.
HEADS UP: ‘All Access’ subscribers are the only subscribers who get the Monthly Favorites newsletter on the first Tuesday of every month.
One thing that I’ve learned about myself as I’ve gotten older is that I love to get to know people and just sit with them over a cup of coffee or wine and just share … going back and forth, asking questions, etc. It’s one of life’s simple pleasures and I don’t think we do it enough these days! Something that I realized recently, and I shared this on IG stories, is that I feel like I share so much with all of you and I oftentimes don’t like that it’s one-sided so I started asking y’all questions in Instagram posts! I think it’s a really fun way to get to know you guys, even though it’s not as personal as I wish it was. At least it’s something! With that said, it’s YOUR turn!
Giveaway
Answer all three of the following questions and answer them in the comments below! I would hope I didn’t have to twist your arm too much BUT … I’ll be selecting 10 people from those who DO comment and gifting them a $50 gift card to Nordstrom in honor of Public Access starting in a few days! Good luck!
What’s your name? Where do you live? How did you find my blog?
Have a great day, y’all! I’m heading down to Miami for the LIKEtoKNOW.it x WeWork event! I’ve never spoken on a panel before and it’s a little nerve-wrecking but so flattering and I can’t wait to share how I navigate the 9 to 5 with everyone who is attending! If you’re coming, I can’t wait to see there! It starts at 6:00pm. If you can’t make it, don’t worry! It’ll be live streamed on the LTK Instagram account! xo.

I think you have done an amazing job with coverage of the sale (I may be crazy but I’m not tired of the sale yet!). I was way too impatient to wait for public access so I caved for the credit card and have been able to find some PERFECT items for my closet as I transition it to be more up to date. Thank you so much for all you do! You didn’t answer my question, though, that asked if I could travel with you 🙂

Lauren from Kansas City! I came across your Instagram account a few years ago and have been a pretty consistent follower since the start. I love your content! I think the one hallmark difference you have is that you do a great job of building this relationship with your audience and sharing so much of your day to day. It’s not just clothes or travel. It’s the pups, it’s what’s going on in your world, what you’re binging on tv, etc. You’re authentically you which makes your brand so great and your opinions so valuable in my opinion. PS love the AH newsletter!

My name is Callie, I live in Minnesota, and you were the very first blogger of any kind that I started following – came across one of your pics and loved just about every post I saw and that was that! You continue to be one of my favorites and one of the only blogs I actually read. I loved this post! Keep up the wonderful work – the honesty, transparency, dog posts, etc. 😉
Hi! I’m Emma and I’m from Atlanta, GA. I follow Dani Austin and she did a giveaway where you needed to follow a few blogs in order to enter — one of those was you! I’ve since scrolled through your insta and have been watching your stories and I’m such a fan of your blog now!! ??
Hi! I’m Megan, and I live in Indianapolis, IN. My sister recommended your insta page to me a while ago and I’ve followed ever since—I don’t follow more than three bloggers, because I find it gets too stressful for me and makes me focus on the things I DONT have and WANT, when I should be thankful for all the wonderful things I do have! Sorta like window shopping at a bakery when you’re on a diet, torture! ? anywho, I am a longtime user of Versace Bright Crystal and it’s been my signature scent. I don’t find many people use it, which I also love!
Hi! I’m Gabriela and I live in Houston. I found you through Instagram…maybe the explore page? Haha it’s been awhile but you’re amazing!
Hello! My name is Casey Addison, and I live in a small town in Texas called Lamesa. It’s right smack in the middle between Lubbock and Midland. I honestly can’t even remember how I found your blog. I’ve been following you for 2 or 3 years now, and I truly believe you are one of the more honest and genuine bloggers that I follow. It’s refreshing!
Hi! I’m Julie and I live about 20 minutes outside of Sacramento, Ca. I have been following you for so long that I don’t recall how I found you. Most likely through Instagram. ?
Hi Haley! I’m Jennifer from Mississippi. I found your blog through Katey Hellman and Ashley Robertson. I’m so glad I found you. I’m also a mom to a four legged baby and she is my heart. I’m not married and don’t have any children. So I relate a lot to the season of life that you are in. We also both live in the deep south so I find that a lot of your fashion and beauty choices work for the climate I live in. Gotta love that heat and humidity!
Hi! I’m Dominique and I currently live in Chicago. You were actually the first blogger I ever followed on Instagram a long time ago and I came across you on my fb newsfeed through our mutual friend I think Reilly. Such a small world haha. Love your blog!

Hello! My name is Megan and I live in Buffalo, NY. I found your blog through Instagram. A photo of you with your handsome pups in London popped up in my explore tab. My sister has two doxies that I absolutely adore so I was drawn to it. When I checked out your platform and saw that fashion, pups and humbleness were evident I followed, and now you are one of my top favorites! Love all the content and the work you put into it! ??

Hi Haley! My name is Sam and I currently call Atlanta home! I actually just moved here from Houston to complete my final year of medical training (yay!). One of dearest friends from college, Natasha, introduced me to your Instagram and blog about 3.5 years ago based on similarities in our style that she thought I would love. You still continue to be one of my favorite bloggers, and I’ve loved watching your blog and brand grow and evolve! Cheers!
Hi! My name is Allie and I live in Jacksonville, FL (haaaay!). I found your blog via Instagram years ago and I’ve been obsessed ever since 🙂
Karen, Arkansas. My daughter actually recommended your blog, because I have difficulty styling clothing for myself, and she knew that I’d love your style. Before you, I didn’t know style blogs existed. I doubt I’m your target audience, but I love your content anyways. You’re so authentic, and although I now follow a few others on Instagram, you’re the only one I actually read regularly. You’re really good at what you do!

Hey Haley! My name is Ellen Sparks, and I live in Greenville, SC! I found your blog through Pinterest probably 3 years ago! Crazy to think how time flies. I LOVE your summer style and always look to you for my latest summer outfit inspiration. Plus we are about the same size which helps with my shopping! Short and slender lol!
Hi Haley! I’m Sophia, and I live in Washington, DC. I found your Instagram page totally by chance (I think it was one of those recommendations from IG on who to follow), and so glad I did! I’ve been tracking your blog, Insta account, etc. daily ever since– you’re always so thoughtful in your content.
Side note– so so happy to hear you are interested in going to Jordan and Turkey! I work on issues in the Middle East and North Africa, and have always wished more bloggers would take advantage of the beauty in the broader region. If you do end up going, please don’t hesitate to shoot me a note for some tips! I’ve been to both places several times and would be happy to help.
Oh wow! That would be amazing! I’d appreciate that a lot! I’ll keep you in mind whenever I do have some firm plans in place 🙂
Hiya! My name is Melissa and I live in Tampa, Florida. I’m a fashion fanatic and actually found you through a friend on Instagram. I’m such a huge fan of your sense of style and constantly look through your photos for inspiration. My wallet might not be as happy about that as I am, but hey, things like the Nordstrom sale help the bank account out!

Hi, I’m Jessica!! I’m an east coast gal like yourself – I live in Maryland! I found you on Instagram years ago, like before you had officially quit your nursing job years ago ? hahah. Good luck at your event today, I know you will do great!! Xo
Hi Haley! My name is Mo and I live in Chicago. I found your blog because I follow Marissa at Style Cusp and you two had been on vacation together and you were tagged in her InstaStory. Then I found out you had a doxie, and so do I (his name is Henry and he’s 5), so I was hooked haha!

And then I started looking at Travel Bloggers, because Travel is really important to me. And completely randomly I found your blog (Sequins & Things), I didn’t even know you had a travel section, because I had never gone into your Instagram profile. I was hooked. You offer such in depth information about everything that you post about and it’s wonderful. From purse reviews to location reviews. Everything is done with so much finesse. It’s inspiring! I
Anyways, I still check Alysonhaley.com at least once a week and scour all of the posts I’ve missed. Love it! Love the new site! Love the Travel Diaries! I love that you share pieces of yourself with us. For example saving destinations to share with someone special – I can totally relate. I went to Italy in 2015 with a friend, but now that I found the person I want to share my life with, I want to share Italy with him. I feel for Italy the way you feel for London ♥
My name is Brittney MacRae

I’m not really sure how I found your blog, I feel like I’ve been following you on Insta for a while now, and signed up for the newsletters after the rebrand. I just graduated college and am trying to figure out who I am and what I like, so I’ve followed a few more bloggers intensely to get inspiration as I truly find y’all as people to look up to!
My name is Allie! I live in Dallas, Texas (just moved here about a year ago from the Midwest). I found your blog through instagram– I think LiketoKnowIt recommended you to me a few years ago.
My name is Jessica and I live in Maryland but grew up in New York. How did I find your blog?

It was been so fun to follow along as you have changed and grown 🙂

Hi! I’m Tawny and I live in northwest Georgia. I found you on Instagram back when you were still working in nursing and I followed you because I work in healthcare as well doing mammography. I thought it was so cool that you worked in healthcare but did fashion blogging! When you wear scrubs all day it’s nice to dress cute on your days off!
Hi I’m Kim! ??
I’ve lived all across the country growing up (no longer than 3-4yrs in each place!) but I now permanently live in Indianapolis – so I’m now considered a Hoosier!

Thanks for doing these Q&A’s! I always enjoy learning more about you and always take away something valuable, whether it’s a style tip, a travel tip, or just encouragement/life tips! Thank you for the value you provide to your readers.
My name is Hayley, too! Only mine is spelled with an extra y. 🙂 I recently moved to and currently live in Fort Worth, TX, and I am enjoying learning the city and all it has to offer! I have followed your blog/instagram for a long time but I probably originally found you on Pinterest. You were definitely one of the first bloggers I followed regularly and I have loved watching the evolution of your brand.
My name is Morgan and I live in NC (exciting that you’re coming here for a visit soon!) and I found your blog YEARS ago via Pinterest. You really caught my eye because you layered outfits in unique ways!

Hi! My name’s Taylor and I live in the Bay Area in California. I found your blog through your Instagram years ago. When I first started following fashion bloggers on Instagram, you were one of the first bloggers I followed. You’re also one of the few bloggers I’ve consistently followed.

Hi Haley! My name is Nicole and I live in Miami, wish I could attend the event today to meet you! I’ve followed you on IG for years 🙂 Loved this post!
Hi Haley! My name is Carly Wallace and I am from Fort Worth, TX. I initially found your blog by searching for restaurants in London for our honeymoon, (but I think I also found you in a roundabout way due to the fact that I’ve followed Katey McFarlan’s blog for years). I absolutely love all of your content and you have quickly become one of my favorite bloggers. Your travel content inspires me literally every day to go out and see the world!
Hi Haley! I’m Amanda. I live in an Atlanta suburb. I’ve followed your blog for so long that it’s hard to remember how I came across it, but I want to say through Instagram or from Kateys blog COF!

My name is Mary, I’m from San Diego County, and I found you a few years ago when I started following other bloggers, you came up as a suggestion.

Plus you’re unafraid to speak about your faith which I don’t think a lot of people these days do!
My name is Wendi, I am currently living in Kansas City (from Fort Worth), and I found your blog when I started following you on Instagram right before your move to London.
Regina. I’m just outside of Washington, DC. I found you on IG years and years ago and have been following your blog for quite some time now. Through your blog posts and IG stories, you quickly became one of my favorite bloggers. You’re so personal with us, and I feel like I actually know you through everything that you share with us. You’re SO much more than just another pretty girl on IG with amazing style. Your personality shines through in everything that you post, and you’ve got such a positive and uplifting spirit!
Love this little q&a and am looking forward to more. Love how honest you are, especially as a 9! (I’m an 8, so of course I value authenticity :))

Britni from Canada. I don’t remember how I found your blog, I have been around for years (back when you were nursing and blogging part time). I continue to follow because we have similar casual style, though I have to dress business 5 days a week so I don’t get to focus much on casual clothing.
Hi! My name is Shelby and I’ve been an avid follower of you for over a year! I am obsessed with all your content (seriously your attention to detail is impressive!). I just think we truly have the same style and passions which is so cool to find in a blogger. I really appreciate how much of your life that you share with us, it takes away from the intimidation of looking through a bloggers feed! I live in Nashville, Tennessee now but I grew up in Minnesota. I think I found your blog by scrolling through the explore page on Instagram, but its been a while so I cant be sure. You are the only blogger whos emails, blog posts, and stories I open every day!
My name is Jaime. I live in Northeastern MN. I found your blog by browsing Instagram a few years ago. I love following you because I love fashion and travel.

Alex here from Charlotte, NC! I found your blog through your Instagram what seems like a long, long time ago. You were the first person on Instagram to actually make me visit your blog!

Hi! I’m Stephanie and I’m from the Dallas area. I found your blog via Pinterest a few years ago.

Hi there, my name is Kristin Purdy, and I live in Porte Ranch (I.e. the valley) in California. I found your blog from another blogger I follow, and you have become one of my top favorites! Not only do I love your style, but you seem like such a sweet, funny, down to earth person…you remind me of a friend of mine. I love the stories that feature Fish and Chips too!
If I’m honest, I’m excited to answer the questions at the bottom of this post not because it’s a giveaway, but because you tell us so much about yourself and your life that I think it’s only fair you know a little about us!
My name is Katie, and I just moved to LA (from NY) a little over a week ago because my boyfriend’s job was transferred here. I don’t remember how I came across your blog actually! I think I was looking for outfit inspo on pinteret? I’m not sure! But I know I loved your style and how you made simple pieces like jeans and a tee look stylish and I wanted to be able to do that myself.
Following you has been really helpful in this move because as part of my nightly routine, I would sit in bed and watch your IG stories. And although a lot has changed for me over the last couple of weeks, because you’re always so consistent with wanting to stay connected to your readers in stories, I’ve been able to carry that over to my new life. It may just be little things, but in a month of changes and adjustments it’s been nice to have one thing stay the same, and I just wanted to say thank you for being the person you are!
My name is Corrie, I live in a tiny Texas town about an hour west of Houston, and I originally stumbled across your insta YEARS ago & started following you there when S&T was still pretty new! #OGfollower
I really loved this Q+A! I’ve admired your blog for a while now so it was great to get to know a bit more about you and your blogging process (especially as I’ve just started my own travel blog and am definitely feeling overwhelmed by it).
I’m Mary-Margaret! I currently live in Toronto, Canada and have for nearly four years now (I did do a year abroad in Leeds so I called England home for a year but Toronto has been a home base since I moved there for university). I think I found your blog through Whitney’s, actually! I can’t completely remember but I think I started following Blonde Atlas and found your blog through the friend travels that Whitney shared.
My name is Amanda, I live in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, and I found your blog via Instagram a few years ago!

Thank you, also, for your great tips about the Nordstrom sale!

Hi! I’m Natalie and I live in northern New Jersey. I’m 37 and a stay-at-home mom of three little ones. I think I found your page a couple years ago on IG looking for fashion/style bloggers. You are hands down my favorite stylist/blogger to follow. I love your style. It’s always so simple but well put together. One thing I’ve learned from you is being more aware of and how to coordinate color into outfits. You do it subtle enough so it doesn’t come off as too matchy-matchy. I love when you show us a rack of new seasonal clothes and they all share a similar color. What will be your fall color crush this year?
Hi! My name is Kelsey! I live in Conroe, TX. I have been following you for a while now. I think I randomly stumbled upon one of your Instagram pics and you have since been one of my favorite bloggers. You are so genuine and it’s so fun to follow along on your travels!

I haven’t turned back since and I’ve been investing in upgrading various pieces! I stay following bc you do a great job styling and sharing your general life vs. just products. I’ve also loved the travel stuff!!!

I’m Liza, I live in North Lake Tahoe (you really should visit — summer or winter are both fab!), and I honestly can’t remember how I found you years ago — maybe through another blogger, or through Instagram, maybe pinterest? I remember not understanding fashion blogging, and thinking, “do these women have photographers following them around all the time?!?”. Haha!

I know I’m a few days late to this – I’m working a crazy summer schedule so I’ve been saving your emails to catch up on a slow morning ? I’m Rachel from Seattle and I’ve been following you I think before Instagram was ever a thing! ? It’s been so long that I don’t remember how I found you but I’ve always loved your content ?

Your feed kept coming up on my Instagram in the discover section and I loved the outfits your created! You were one f the first few blogs I started following regularly! That was probably a 3-4 years ago now. It’s been awesome to see all the growth you’ve experienced and am so happy for you!!

Hello! My name is Jennifer and I live in Columbus, OH. I found your blog through following you on instagram. I believe it was a liketoknowit post and you were in London and I just loved your outfit so I gave you a follow! Ever since then I keep up with your blog and really love all the posts you do! As for the first photo I saw.. I totally bought the sweater and leggings you were wearing because I was just that obsessed! lol. Thanks for all you do!!
I’m Stephanie! I currently live in Colorado (the Springs, and if you ever come to visit Denver you should 100% do a meet and greet at Snooze!!), but I’m originally from NC.
To be honest, I don’t remember how I found your blog! I’ve been following you since at least 2016, and I think I found you through another blogger that I love, but I can’t remember which one. I have about 6 bloggers I follow frequently, and another 5-6 I follow on Instagram and then check their blog once or twice a week.
Thanks again for sharing that, I love Q&As with other people. They’re always so fascinating!

I live in Tampa, and I’ve been following you for maybe 4-5 months. I’m not sure how I stumbled on to you, I was looking at the Like to Know it app, and just clicked on you and thought you had great style and just seemed really genuine. I only follow 3 bloggers, and I truly enjoy their – each is unique and I appreciate you!
hi, i’m megan from tampa and i honestly don’t remember because i’ve been reading for years and years. i think a link up probably? i like that your outfits are more seasonally similar to what i wear in tampa, although you do feature sweaters and jackets waaaay more than i have a reason to wear them!
Hi Haley! I’m Erica from Charlotte, NC but have been living in San Francisco, CA for the past three years.
