Hello, my dolls. Welcome back to the busy yet pretty podcast. I'm your host, Jane Haley. I'm so excited for this episode because today we're going to talk about spring style and I'm so ready to just get into spring and summer. So I'm very excited. I felt so inspired by spring inspo lately for my clothes and my wardrobe and I know you guys are wanting to see new wardrobe ideas. So let's just get straight to our weekly review so we can get into today's episode. So this week, I saw Paris Hilton at an Amazon event, which was so fun. Loves it. Another thing I did was I went to an aloe event, which was so lovely. It was in Venice and we had a really nice yoga session. Oh, I also did a breathwork class yesterday. It was with meta and it was super fun. But if anyone has done breath work, it's an experience for sure.

I know some people will yell at the class. Nobody was yelling in my class though, but some people will like shout with the breath or classes, which are pretty interesting. I just had an overall really nice wellness day. I just love wellness days. If you have not taken a wellness day, you need to take one this week. Just get a few of your friends or just get yourself and go get a green juice. Go on a walk.

Go do a facial. Go do little fun things you can do at home or you can go to the nail salon or or something that's out, whatever works for you, do something that makes you feel good. And I promise you once you do, you'll be so happy and feel so overcharged. Another thing this week is that the sun is warming up and I'm so happy. I'm just craving that hot summer weather. I thought I was a cold weather girl until this season. I feel like I'm just over it.

I am over the cold weather. I'm ready to just get into my bathing suit and just wear it all. day long and feel sun-kissed. So I am just ready for that warm weather. Moving on to my current obsession. So my current obsession is laying out by the sun. I just will go lay outside and just soak in the sun and just not be on my phone, listen to music, or I'll go outside and soak in the sun and do my emails. But regardless, it just feels so nice to get that summer air in. I love it. Even though it's not summer yet, I'm channeling my inner summer. Another current obsession is. Another current obsession is celery juice. As you guys know, I always rave about celery juice, but if you guys have not

tried it yet, you literally have to go buy a juicer. There is so many inexpensive ones. I have one that is pretty good priced. I feel like for how good it works over my Amazon storefront, but I'm telling you, the minute you start juicing, your skin will become so clear and glowing within one day. That's what happens with me, but it may happen to you as well, where I swear my skin It just looks so good the minute I start drinking celery juice. So I really recommend you try it. Or if you don't want to get a juicer, go to your local health food spot. And I'm sure they will have lots of juices for you.

And I promise you, you will literally find a difference so fast. Next up to my goal of the week. My goal of the week is to find a better work system. When it comes to the topic of work and working for myself and being my own manager, it can be so hard to not want to just work, work, work, work. As Rihanna says, learn how to schedule better so we can get everything done yet have time for myself. Another goal of the week is to learn the techniques to giving myself a lymphatic drainage at home. I have a tool I got from Amazon.

I know Gracie Norton has really good videos. She's on TikTok and she has really good lymphatic drainage tips that you can do at home and can just really help your stomach. My last goal of the week is to spring clean my skincare. I have so much skincare just piled in my bathroom and I really just need to do. do a good look through and get rid of some things. If you live in LA, you know, I did a little game where I kind of hid a ton of bags full of skincare and beauty products around LA, which you guys all found. And it was so, so cute. And I definitely want to do another one soon. And I know a lot of you

guys aren't also based in LA. So I will do a giveaway soon that you guys can actually win it not living inside LA so I can ship it to you guys. But I definitely want to spring clean out my skincare. Moving on to my affirmation. Everything I want wants me back. I love that so much because it really affirms that everything that we want in our life and desire and want to manifest can all come into our life just within having that energy. So whatever I want wants me back. Next is a self-love question to ask yourself, what has been your greatest accomplishment? I love that so much because it's not your grace accomplishment in the past month or the past week. This is what is your ultimate greatest accomplishment and I really challenge you to journal this question and really think

about it. Moving on to the challenge of this week. Your challenge is research on a topic that you're interested in. I love that so much because I will do that sometimes too where I will just think of something. I'm like, what's the harm? I'm just searching it up for a few minutes and just getting more information on it. So I really challenge you to take part in that and just research on something that you're interested in learning about. Next step is a podcast review, which I have not done for a good while until I realize lots of you guys

were loving the podcast review, so I'm adding it back in. And if you guys want to be featured in next week's episode, feel free to go leave a review over Apple podcast. The user, Ollie Olive Oil, said, which is that's so cute, I love listening to your podcast when I go for my hot girl walks in the morning.

You have helped me so much to manifest my life and be the person I always want to be. I started listening to your podcast in January for a new year refresh and direction. I'm so excited to see what this year's podcast will bring. Thank you so much. I love that so much. Thank you for the sweetest review. I'm so thankful for you.

It makes me so happy to hear how you guys listen to the show and what you guys like about it. So I appreciate it so much. I swear when it comes to the podcast, it's always unlucky girl syndrome because I always lose my voice. Like, it's crackly. I always lose my voice the day I go to record my episode. Like, I'm not kidding. I'm recording this Easter morning, and I was totally good, and now my voice is like cracking. But it's okay. We got this, and let's get straight into today's episode, which I am so excited to share with you guys today. Today's episode is on spring wardrobe and

spring style and SPO for you to plan your wardrobe according to the new season. I assume for you. The weather's warmer and it's starting to get nice out and it's time to whip out the pretty dresses, the cute little bikinis. Hopefully it is. I'm praying it's not too cold for you guys, but I assume the weather will be warmer and you will be able to wear more warmer pieces. I am just so excited because I have so many great style inspo that I have been searching for on Pinterest and I just have it all built up in my head. So let's chat about it. Pretend we are on FaceTime. It just the chat between you and I what our favorite styles are and what we're going to be wearing this spring. I am just so in love with a clean, classy look from just hair to shoes to jewelry

to nails. I just think a simple look can say so much sometimes. I used to have a very chaotic style and trust me, I will literally wake up with a new style every single day. Like one day I will be wearing like a t-shirt, a ton of colors, like bows all in my hair. And then I'll wear like a love check fancy outfit and then I'll wear like a 2000s outfit like I always change my style and that's what I love is that I don't have a strict specific style. But I feel like right now I'm just loving a classy, simple look. When you look good, you feel good. I mean, you feel good, you look good. Okay. So if someone ever tries to tell you it's narcissistic for you to care about your looks, don't even think about what they're saying. Okay. You're looking good for yourself. Do things to look

good for only you. You and you only because when you look good, you will feel good. And when you feel good, you look good. So putting time into your appearance is not vain. It's not narcissistic. This is to make you feel good. Nobody else. It's to make you feel confident for you to feel happy. And there's nothing wrong with that. I love taking time on my style and I love taking time in my appearance because that makes me feel good. Who do I do it for? Me, me, myself, and I. Nobody else. Do things for you and you only. Don't listen to what anyone says. When I think of spring, I just think of, I think of peonies, sun, florals, light pink, silk satin dresses, loafers, trench coats, overdresses.

And it just is so beautiful. I literally love it. I love spring fashion. I feel like we were all in our pink Pilates princess era as like a month ago. And now we are transitioning from our pink Pilates princess era to our sexy spring sweetheart era. Okay, this spring, we are a sexy spring sweetheart. Who's in it with me? Because I'm transitioning out of my Pink Pilates Princess era

and entering my sexy spring sweetheart era. We've all been there when we have something that we feel is wrong with us and we're trying to self-diagnose ourselves.

I feel like I just want to be sun-kissed and I just want to enjoy the sun and the floral and the birds. And, oh, I love birds. I just want to enjoy everything that has to do with spring. I mean, it's Easter today.

It's the ultimate day of spring. But I am just so excited to enjoy the spring weather and to get into spring fashion. I hope you all have been browsing Pinterest and getting that spring inspo. You know, I have been just browsing Pinterest and Lemon 8, which is like that new app, which I personally love. I feel like it's a really nice break from social media. Even though it is social media, I feel like it's a different type of form of it. If you want to follow my Lemon 8, I have it linked in my show notes. It's almost like a Pinterest.

It's like a very curated Pinterest. I have just been scrolling through Pinterest and Lemon 8 religiously and been finding that Spring Inspo. Personally, I just love the feeling of just feeling classy and just looking so classy and simple. There's nothing wrong with looking expensive, which I feel like people don't like the term expensive. But when I think of the word expensive, I think of how.

high class and overall really simple and just put together. There's nothing wrong with wanting to look high kept and expensive. And let me just say you can look expensive on a budget. No, I'm not meaning the knockoff louis batons. And if you have that, do not worry. That is great. Everyone is able to have their own style. When I'm talking about a budget, I'm not meeting knockoffs or anything.

I'm meaning you can get pieces that look so similar to things that you'd buy designer or things that are more expensive that you have your eye on. For instance, I really want a Chanel bag, but right now I have one that is not a Chanel bag, but it looks kind of like the shape of the Chanel bag. It's on a replica or a knockoff. It's literally just a bag that's kind of shaped like that. That makes me feel like it's similar to a Chanel bag. And it's pretty.

It's from the brand emotional world. But for instance, you can get things that look similar to the things that you want that may be too pricey. Because let's just be honest, nobody wants to spend all their money on clothes. okay, we want to spend it on nice dinners, maybe a car, maybe home decor. We can't just blow all our money on our wardrobe. So without further ado, let's get into talking about spring inspo and how you're able to incorporate it. I would say 80% of my closet is thrifted and not even purchased at a retail store. And I promise you that is nothing but the truth because I, when I lived in San Diego, I was in my thrifting days.

I would thrift probably two times a day every single day. Like, I'm not kidding. I was obsessed. And I still have all those clothes. And since then, the rest of the clothes I've gotten, I've gotten from brands who are so kind to send me things or very few that I purchased. Like, I really don't purchase a lot of things because I have thrifted so much in my closet. And you were able to do the same.

And let's say you don't have a thrift store by you that is necessarily very good. There's eBay. There's Mercari. Mercari's my favorite. I would gatekeep. for years, but I'm telling you, Mercari has things for $3 listed, and then you just have to pay shipping, so it comes out to like $5. So there's Mercari, there's eBay, there's offer up, Facebook Marketplace.

There's so many platforms that you can purchase clothes from for such a low price that looks so similar to the things that you like. Just make sure to like put in the right keywords. So I wouldn't necessarily put in Chanel looking back or it's going to come up like Chanel knockoffs. I'd put in classy rectangular bag. And they'll have things are similar to like that that you like. So that's just a random tip that you guys can do.

Talking about spring style, I am entering my colorful phase again. This winter, I was just so in my neutral phase. And don't get me wrong, I still am. I'm just so ready to incorporate some color into my style because I feel like I really miss just the bright colors and even just light florals are just so beautiful. I realize I'm the happiest when I align my style according to the weather and to the seasons. So I really recommend you align your style to the seasons and to just what feels the best for you.

For instance, you may be wanting to dress warmer in the winter, so more coats. And that's where you can wear some boots and everything. And maybe now that's spring, you want to wear some kitten heels or a pretty floral dress. I feel like this spring, I am just going no bra, letting the girls out. Thankfully, I think I have a very small male audience who listens to these episodes. There is no point in wearing a bra when I'm wearing a dress. When it's feeling like somewhere out and I'm trying to feel sun-kissed. On me, it just looks cuter without having an extra bra strap.

But I just feel like it just gives such a sun-kissed vibe when you're not wearing a bra under your dresses or your tops. So I have just been ready to get into that era, the spring. Talking about dresses, I really want to talk to you guys about my favorite dresses that you guys should definitely shop the spring because I am obsessed. And this is what's making up my wardrobe this spring. So I'm really getting into long dresses. I have this one long dress for Love and Lemons. It's so beautiful. Talk about me jumping from thing to thing.

I'm like, you guys need to hear about these dresses. And then I'm like, oh wait, I need to tell you about the skirt. I literally just get so excited talking about spring wardrobe where I cannot contain myself because I jump from thing to thing because I'm just so excited to talk about spring. But talking about my favorite dresses, I love the brand for Love and Lemons. Another one is Love Shack Fancy. I definitely know those are both on the pricier side. But if you're looking for a little cheaper and expensive option that are very similar to those two brands,

I would say Princess Polly is a great brand in white fox booge. Boutique, along with Beginning Boutique, those are all brands that are more on the inexpensive side that have the exact same type of look and styles. Those are some of my favorite brands that I will be wearing this spring. And something else that is so cute to do this spring is pair a dress with a bolero. So if you don't know what a belero is, it's kind of like what actually I used to wear in dance a long time ago. It originated from like dance.

It's like a little mini sweater that you can tie up, kind of like a ballerina sweater. and I just think they look so precious over dresses or over a small little top. I really love baleros this spring. When I'm planning on making a purchase, I spend so long trying to research if it's worth it or not. I'll look up reviews, ratings, or I'll try to find articles about an item. Doing your research before you buy means making better informed choices, especially when it comes to stress or sleep products like CBD.

A study by an independent lab confirms some brands contain up to 60% less CBD then they claim on the label. But with NextEvo Naturals, you can trust that you're getting the best of the best. As the most clinically studied CBD brand on the market, NextEvo takes research to the next level. With all the work that piles up, I get really stressed out, and I love how NextEvo Naturals, THC-free gummies, are the perfect way to just assist my stress. I have them in my cabinet with all my vitamins. CBD has so many benefits, and one of them is just waking up feeling so refreshed.

upgrade to a CBD brand that takes quality as serious as you take your overall health. NextEvo tests their products multiple times to ensure you get 100% of what's on the label. Upgrade your CBD. Go to nextevo.com slash pretty to get 20% off your first order of $40 or more. That's 20% of $40 off first order at N-E-X-E-O.com slash pretty. You will not regret incorporating NextEvo naturals in your wellness routine. Along with baleros, I love wearing buttoned up sweaters, but only buttoning the top button. So it kind of like flares out on each of the sides.

You can see like a top underneath. So I do this all the time where I will get a dress or top, wear something, and then put a sweater over it that's button up. And then only button the top layer. So it flares out where you can see the underneath of your top or your dress. And I just think it's the cutest look. And the cutest way to just dress up an outfit. It's almost like pieces of clothing are so cute, but also they sometimes can just be very plain. And the way you strategize wearing it is how it presents on you and looks cute.

Like honestly, buttoning up the top piece of your sweater can make such a difference in your outfit. It can just say so much. Another thing I love is jeans. I have been loving jeans lately. I feel like it really gets me into that goop look. I love Gwyneth Paltrow's style when she wears her jeans with striped sweaters. So I just love that entire look and I really, really do want to start wearing more jeans with loafers into sweaters. It just is the cutest duo.

So for shoes, I love a thong heel. And when I mean a thong heel, I just mean a flip-flop heel. I feel like they're just so cute, so classy and simple. I literally one time when I was in New York, I wore these. thong heels, so just like flip-flop heels. I wore the heels and walked 18,000 steps in them one day. And I'm like, how did I do that? Like props to me, I remember my feet were in pain, but like, how did I do that? I love kitten heels. I also love loafers. I feel like those are the three shoes of the spring for accessories. I'm really getting into clock clips again. I love them

and they can dress up a look so much. I know the brand M-EJ is really good. I've never tried them, but I've heard they're really cute and I just love their designs, but they are pricey. So I really recommend trying Amazon online are from Amazon and I love them. I have them linked over my Amazon storefront, actually. I also love jewelry so much. My favorite jewelry pieces right now is just a watch. I have this watch I got from Amazon because I really wanted a really nice designer watch, but I was like, do I really want to invest in this right now for my first watch? I'm like, no, not really. So I'm going to invest in a watch maybe next year. But for now, I just wanted to get one that I can wear and not really care if it gets dirty or breaks or something. So this was only $20 on Amazon. And it's the cutest watch ever. I get so many compliments on it. And I swear, it makes me feel so classy and just so put together. It's gold, but it's like two tones. So it's silver and gold. And it just is so beautiful. I love it. It just makes me feel so classy and sophisticated. Another thing for jewelry I love is just bangle bracelets.

So cute. Love those. I also love gold hoops as usual. Another one I've been loving is chokers, which are really random. I have been loving chokers. And of course, dressing it up with some pretty rings. I just think it finishes a look so much with jewelry. This is also an accessory in my opinion, but I have been loving putting glowing lotion on my body, like all my collarbones, all my shoulders.

just so it gives me a really nice glow and shimmer. My favorite one is from Say. It's actually for your face, but I've been using it for my body. And I just think it's so beautiful and I love it. It just dresses up your look so much. Also, I know it's expensive to get your nails done. And I was getting my nails done the past few years every single month. And don't get me wrong, I literally love it.

But I have not found a place in L.A., so I kind of had to make do with what I could. I ended up doing press on nails. And let me just tell you, these are the best things ever because they last about like two weeks, which I think are pretty good. Or they last until like you have to glue one back on. But I'm telling you, I do the glue ones. And they are just so cute because you can change them out. They don't take too long to do.

And they obviously save so much money. So I can link them for you guys over my Instagram if you want to see those. but anyways, I literally love them. Like, press on nails are in right now. Like, I'm sorry, I am not ashamed. Press on nails are great. They do take some time, though, to do it yourself. But, like, they honestly save a lot of money,

and they're easy for whenever you need to change them out to a different type of look. And I don't know. I just have been loving them. Moving on to bags, I love me some nice, beautiful purses and bags. And my favorite bag brand right now is emotional world. As I said, the brand is very,

similar to Chanel and Birkin style bags, which I love those bags. And they just have the same type of structure. So I just love those. I also love the brand Pauline. They have really big bags, which I like. I love a big bag. I do. I love a big bag. And I love the brand Lancaster, another one that I love. All those bags are on the pricier side ranging from about three to 800. So definitely still an investment. So I would say my best thing to do is thrift. I'm not kidding, 80% of my purses are thrifted and I literally love those purses and wear them every day. So I really recommend thrifting, looking on online thrifts, such as Mercari, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and even Amazon has some great ones. So just start

thrifting, start buying stuff secondhand or start going on Amazon. I promise you there is great inexpensive options that look just as cute. I just love a bag that has a ton of room in it. And just, I love neutral bags right now. Dressing up neutral bags with like a colorful outfit, I think is the cutest thing ever. Also been loving tote bags lately. I feel like it just feels like spring when I wear a tote bag. And like I'm just on the go. So I just love tote bags.

And talking about makeup, I just love a clean, simple, glowing makeup look. I just think when you just look so refreshed, it just looks so beautiful. I love adding just sprits throughout the day. rose water spray or something just to uplift my glow throughout the day if my face gets dry or if I just want another just refresh. I have just not worn eye shadow for the past years. Like I'm not kidding. I don't wear eye shadow but I need to like I love it. But I'm not going to lie. That's what I love. I love to just have a really clean look. I don't do foundation. I just do a skin tint. I do concealer, bronzer, mascara, and literally that's it. Oh, and blush. Of course blush. I curl my eyelashes. I curl my

lashes, a brow gel, and that literally finishes the look to look so beautiful, so clean and simple. I just love it. It looks like your skin just was like kissed by a glass of water and just love looking glowing, refreshed. Lastly, I would say is prioritize your skincare and you will literally love doing less makeup once you do that. Skincare will literally be your makeup. I'm not kidding.

Prioritize your skincare routine. Prioritize your skincare before you put on your makeup. and you will do much less makeup when you do a good skincare routine. I hope you guys enjoyed this episode talking all about sexy spring sweetheart outfits and just style. I'm just so excited to build my new spring wardrobe and I hope you guys had some nice advice for you guys knowing what to wear this spring.
