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 🫢🏼

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

Casual Camo and Weekender Tee + A Little Life Update

Life is so hectic right now that you’ll rarely find me dressed up. Typically I’m just rocking a casual outfit like this one with my camo jacket!

You may think I’m joking, but I feel as though life is going at the speed of light lately. Along with moving into our new townhome this past weekend, our wedding is just two weeks away, and as a friend of mine recently asked (and I concurred), “are we in a time vortex or something?” Each day, a few more boxes are carried from my parents’ home to my new place. Each day, I check another thing off my wedding to-do list. Each day, I start to realize that I’m getting ready to encounter something monumental in my life. It’s pretty exciting, I might add!

While I’d love to keep to my typical blogging schedule, I just know that in the next several weeks, it’s unlikely that I’ll keep to any normal schedule at all – blogging or not! I sure do hope to keep sharing as much as I can via social media. I’ve even been working on a “moving in” vlog to hopefully get up at some point. I’ve just found myself documenting less and living in the moment so much more over the past few weeks.

Outfit Details
tee c/o Sugarhigh | similar jacket | pants | similar belt |shoes | similar bag | earrings c/o Sugarfix | similar necklace

I also wanted to clear up some confusion!

A lot of people assumed my fiancΓ© and I already lived together, so I’ve received some baffled DM’s when I mentioned our move! I am, in fact, still living with my parents – and will continue to do so until the wedding. It’s given us the ability to save some serious money, and it’s really nice to have help when I’m dealing with aΒ gastroparesis flare-up. Most of my stuff is already at the townhome, but I won’t move in fully until we return from our honeymoon.Β I’m so excited to finally live with my man and begin this chapter of our lives.

I’ll bet you want to know just a little bit about this outfit, considering thisΒ is a fashion blog.

So, let me start with my tee. I know it’s not the focal point of the outfit, but it’s certainly my favorite part. I received this $15 slouchy “Weekender” graphic tee fromΒ Sugarhigh, and have proceeded to wear it every single weekend, almost without fail. It’s quite possibly the softest tee I’ve ever owned, and the light mauve color matches with so many other pieces in my wardrobe. Of course, to complete this casual outfit, the camo jacket was aΒ must. I’ve never really been huge on camo, but this one is a little oversized, not too bulky, and really makes my outfitΒ pop! Definitely the perfect piece for running errands, or throwing over a LBD for a dressed down night out!

Thanks for your patience during this nutty season of my life. You all are the best!

    I totally understand how you feel girl. When my husband and I got married time went by so fast, especially the weeks leading up to the big day. Take time for yourself and enjoy these next couple of weeks. Trust me, you’ll enjoy it. Don’t stress too much over your schedule, it’s hard, I know.
    My husband and I bought a home before the wedding, but we didn’t move into the house until we returned from our honeymoon. It was actually so nice, we had time to get things settled in and come back from our honeymoon to a home. So happy for you girl!

    Love the camo jacket paired with the tee. I haven’t seen many camo jackets with pink in them so this one is cute! And don’t apologize for being MIA, you have a big life moment ahead of you! So excited!!

    I totally understand how you feel girl. When my husband and I got married time went by so fast, especially the weeks leading up to the big day. Take time for yourself and enjoy these next couple of weeks. Trust me, you’ll enjoy it. Don’t stress too much over your schedule, it’s hard, I know.
    My husband and I bought a home before the wedding, but we didn’t move into the house until we returned from our honeymoon. It was actually so nice, we had time to get things settled in and come back from our honeymoon to a home. So happy for you girl!

    Girl, you totally rock the camo. I can’t ever pull off camo! Also, YES to the fact that you still live with your parents. My man and I have decided on doing that as well, except eventually, he will live with me at my parents’ house too while we save money to buy land and build. Gotta love amazing parents!!!

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 €
Did I go way too in-depth on this just because I love these characters and coffee a little too much? πŸ™ˆ Maybe I did, but it was fun πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

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

As many of you know, I was a full-time fashion blogger for over five years and somewhere along the line, I found that I just didn't love it anymore πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ I wanted to find somewhere I could truly be myself and spend more time talking about fantasy novels, crisp autumn mornings, a great cup of coffee, and how to achieve the ultimate cozy lifestyle 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

Have you read The Dreamer Trilogy yet? πŸ’­

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“–
