My favorite fictional character of all time is Genya Safin from the Grishaverse 🀍 This badass Tailor has a taste for the finer things and would absolutely drink a deliciously dark roast with notes of cherry, walnut, and rich chocolate 🀀 I think she would enjoy a café au lait -- drip coffee with steamed milk -- that David prepared for her in a drip coffee contraption of his own making 🫢🏼
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️ It What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️

It was absolutely wonderful to end 2022 with Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez 😍 I don’t like to pick favorites when it comes to my top authors, but this adorable fake dating romance may very well be my favorite book by her! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

I’m a seriously picky romance reader, but Abby’s blend of sweetness and substance never ceases to amaze me and Yours Truly was no exception 🀎 Just like her previous novels, this one made me cry my eyes out as I saw bits and pieces of myself in each of the characters πŸ₯Ή It was just SO GOOD, y’all, and you can find the full review on my blog! 🫢🏼

Are you planning to pick up Yours Truly when it comes out in April? πŸ“– Have you read any of Abby’s other phenomenal romance novels? πŸ₯°

BUT every once in a while, I have a weekend day where I can just fully sink into a story and enjoy it from start to finish without distractions πŸ“– That’s what I did with BEACH READ last Sunday and it was wonderful πŸ₯° I read it when it first came out, but this time, I really got to enjoy it in a new way - and I couldn’t put it down! πŸ™ˆ

Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress

Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style

Happy Black Friday, everyone! I hope you all had a magnificent Thanksgiving, surrounded by loved ones (and lots of delicious food). Β I’m actually writing this on Thanksgiving day, while theΒ sweet potato soufflΓ© is in the oven and the creamed corn is in the crock-pot. Β Always hustlin’! πŸ˜‚Β While I may have posted a fabulously comfy Thanksgiving party look last week, I held off on the truly fancy outfits until after Turkey Day, becauseΒ now is when all the true parties start happening. Β Whether you’re a fellow blogger babe, headingΒ out forΒ holiday networking or brand events, or you’re someone just looking for a cute dress for a Christmas cocktail party – I’ve got you covered!

Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style

If you’re one for trends, I’m sure by now you’ve seen the luxurious Self Portrait Azalea dress that so many bloggers, celebs, and models have been donning. Β The first moment I saw it, I completely fell in the love with the intricate design and classy style. Β This gorgeous gown has a nude lining that hits just above the knee, while a floral “print” open-crochet overlay falls elegantly to a midi length. Β The original dressΒ (now carried in burgundy and navy) can be purchased from ShopBop for $480, however, I found my dupe atΒ Zaful for only $38, and I couldn’t be happier with it.

Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style

This is easily one of the loveliest dresses I’ve everΒ seen, let aloneΒ owned. Β It’s quite comfortable – not heavy in the slightest – and ridiculously flattering, especially on taller frames. Β Zaful offers this dress in bright red, pastel green, and robin’s egg blue (the lighter colors would be dynamite for spring). Β I chose this vibrant red because it’s not only a statement piece all on its own, but it’s the perfect holiday party dress! Β I receivedΒ several compliments just while shooting the piece, so I can only imagine what would be said if I were to wear it to a formal event. Β It’s sure to be the highlight of the night! Β Since it’s such a bold gown, I chose to accessorize simply with a baby pink blanket scarf draped over my shoulders, and dainty gold and pink jewels. Β No need for anything too dramatic with a sizzling piece like this!

Red Hot: A Sizzling Party Dress // She Saw Style

I considered writing about all of the Black Friday deals that I’m sure most of you are taking advantage of today, but since stores do their best to email you,Β put giant posters up, place ads in website sidebars, and generally invade all the rest of your life with their holiday sale advertisements, I chose to opt out of putting together a round-up of the best places to shop this year πŸ˜‰Β  Maybe I’ll give some good Cyber Monday tips in a few days – since that counts worldwide, and not just in the US – but for now I’ll just say that I hope you’re either enjoying a day of rest (turkey coma, anyone?), putting up Christmas decorations, or shopping to your heart’s content!

    Omg I can’t believe you got this dress for $38 compared to the original price from ShopBop!! That’s an incredible deal babe! And I’m sure that this bright festive red color is so much nicer than the navy! It really gets me excited for the holidays hehe! Hope you enjoyed your SoufflΓ©! I actually just enjoyed some warm pecan pie πŸ™‚ Hope your thanksgiving was amazing!!

My favorite fictional character of all time is Genya Safin from the Grishaverse 🀍 This badass Tailor has a taste for the finer things and would absolutely drink a deliciously dark roast with notes of cherry, walnut, and rich chocolate 🀀 I think she would enjoy a café au lait -- drip coffee with steamed milk -- that David prepared for her in a drip coffee contraption of his own making 🫢🏼
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️ It What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️

It was absolutely wonderful to end 2022 with Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez 😍 I don’t like to pick favorites when it comes to my top authors, but this adorable fake dating romance may very well be my favorite book by her! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

I’m a seriously picky romance reader, but Abby’s blend of sweetness and substance never ceases to amaze me and Yours Truly was no exception 🀎 Just like her previous novels, this one made me cry my eyes out as I saw bits and pieces of myself in each of the characters πŸ₯Ή It was just SO GOOD, y’all, and you can find the full review on my blog! 🫢🏼

Are you planning to pick up Yours Truly when it comes out in April? πŸ“– Have you read any of Abby’s other phenomenal romance novels? πŸ₯°

What was the last book you read in one sitting? πŸ’

Honestly, it’s not very often that I finish a book in one day - either because I find myself too busy or I just can’t concentrate for such a long period of time πŸ˜…

BUT every once in a while, I have a weekend day where I can just fully sink into a story and enjoy it from start to finish without distractions πŸ“– That’s what I did with BEACH READ last Sunday and it was wonderful πŸ₯° I read it when it first came out, but this time, I really got to enjoy it in a new way - and I couldn’t put it down! πŸ™ˆ 

If only I could have more days like that πŸ˜‚ Have you read Beach Read or anything else by Emily Henry? β˜€οΈ

This past year, I either began or finished a few spin-off series that I found myself enjoying even more than their predecessors πŸ™ˆ The Dreamer Trilogy (the first of which is featured here) BLEW ME AWAY even though I just *sorta-kinda* liked The Raven Cycle 😱 But there I was, sobbing my eyes out at the end of Greywaren 😭 So freaking good! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Typically I’m all about the OG series (like Shadow and Bone), but every once in a while, there’s a really great spin-off or continuation that I wind up just loving! 🀩 I’m excited to discover even more this year πŸ—“οΈ

It was only this past year that I really discovered how much I enjoy graphic novels πŸ’₯ I’ve always liked comic books and graphic novels are just an elevated kind of comic book 🀌🏼

Even though I preordered and listened to the audiobook for Demon in the Wood (blame it on my love for Ben Barnes as a narrator), I also got myself a physical copy because it’s just too gorgeous to pass up 😍 Just like the rest of the Grishaverse books, the naked cover is breathtaking with the most perfect silver embossing on deep purple πŸ’œ I could read this one over and over again (and I probably will)! πŸ“–
