Just under the wire, here are the books I read last month—and my honest thoughts about them. Happy reading! Colorfully yours, Haley Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid—4/5 Surf, sand, and siblings: the recipe for a very solid beach read. From the ‘80s to the present day, we learn about the famous Riva family’s secrets—and […]
Back in January, I went to a close friend’s wedding and wore a bright pink dress by Australian label La Maison Talulah. I was obsessed with it! I actually wore one of their pieces to the rehearsal dinner, too—featured in that same Instagram post—without even realizing it at the time. So when they reached out […]

A day late…but hopefully not a dollar short. Happy reading, friends! Colorfully yours, Haley We Are the Brennans by Tracey Lange—3.5/5 I obviously had no choice but to read this. Not only do I share a last name with the characters, but my dad has always said the phrase “We are the Brennans” when he […]
I was hoping to get this posted while it was still February, but I feel like one week into March basically counts. Happy reading! Colorfully yours, Haley All the Money in the World by Robert Anthony Siegel—2/5 Friends have been telling me to track my books on Goodreads for a while now. But, I like(d) […]
Yup, you read that right. The most expensive item on my list of everyday makeup? $12.99. Plus, you can get all of the below products at Ulta or Amazon—those are the two places I’ve linked to make your shopping easier. After all, who wants to buy from five different sites and rack up shipping costs?! […]
