What's the next backlist book on your TBR? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a huge fan of reading backlist books and this year, that has primarily come in the form of rereading my favorites 🫶🏼 I've finished my rereads of the Shades of Magic, Shadow and Bone, and The Hunger Games series - and I'm continuing my rereads of Six of Crows, Renegades, Strange the Dreamer, and All the Stars and Teeth 🙀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next up on my backlist TBR:
 ☕️ Legends & Lattes (FINALLY - been waiting for this library hold for what feels like a thousand years)
♾️ Stealing Infinity (I received a copy of this from Entangled but it's been sitting on my shelf far too long.. it's time to dive in)
🐍 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (after my THG reread, I'm ready to jump into this to prep for the upcoming film)
🎤 On the Come Up (I started craving more Angie Thomas after Concrete Rose so this was the natural next step)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? 👆🏼

For me, it was WE ARE ALL SO GOOD AT SMILING by @ambsmcbride 📖 I read this in one sitting and cried crocodile tears through 80% of it 🐊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book - whew - it's heavy and haunting and simultaneously so beautiful and hopeful ✨ I've truly never read anything quite like it and I know I'll want to revisit it time and again, especially when I find myself struggling with the negative voices in my head 🤎 (Please note the content warnings before beginning your journey into this incredible story)

Have you read this book or is it on your TBR? ☕️

Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎 My mom ca Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎

My mom can confirm that when I was younger, I was constantly gobbling up mystery books 📖 As I got older, I found that so many books labeled as “mysteries” for YA and adults were more like thrillers - focusing on suspense and fear, rather than sleuthing (not my jam) 🙈

Now, I’m realizing that I must have just been looking in the wrong places for good mysteries, because they’re definitely out there 🙌🏼 I absolutely devoured The London Séance Society - enjoying the way it blended historical mystery, a healthy dose of suspense, and wild fantastical elements into just over 350 pages 🔮

Have you read this one yet? 🕯️

Ever since I finished my reread of the Shadow and Bone trilogy, I've found it so hard to get into anything else and all I want to do is just drop my entire TBR and continue rereading the rest of the Grishaverse 🫶🏼

Y'all, the S&B obsession is so real (again) for me right now and I don't know if tomorrow's premiere will help soothe me or make things even worse 🙈 Oh, who am I kidding? 😅 It’s gonna make me a thousand times more insufferable 🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've never been in a reading slump and I've only had a book hangover a couple of times, so I'm thinking that continuing with comfort reads of the same world/genre is going to be the most beneficial 📚 Off to open up Six of Crows next 🖤

Vampy Goodness: Hold Everything – You Need This Dress

Vampy Goodness: Hold Everything - You Need This Dress // She Saw Style

The title of this post pretty much says it all.  You need this dress.  Whether it’s for yourself, for your best friend, your daughter, your girlfriend, or whomever – you need it!  My blog has been filled with the prettiest of all the party dresses lately.  From my Thanksgiving outfit, to my red hot gown, to this sequined number, I’m all about those party looks right now!  I guess the holiday spirit is getting to me, because all I want to do is dance around in sparkly things and listen to Christmas music!  Anyone else with me?

Vampy Goodness: Hold Everything - You Need This Dress // She Saw Style

The second I saw this dress on the Dezzal website, I knew I had to have it.  There’s just something about a dress with sheer overlay and lace that really gets me!  This dress looks all levels of sexy, while simultaneously quite comfortable and not truly revealing at all.  There’s a nude slip beneath the black that makes it appear as though I’m showing off my skin, but in reality I get to stay all covered up, which makes it pleasant to wear, even on a colder evening.  The sequins parade up and down the length of the dress, but they’re not so over-the-top that you feel like a walking disco ball.  Lace covers the arms and gives just the right amount of elegance to this vampy piece.

Since the neckline is high, the sleeves are long, and the dress itself is quite detailed, I chose to go without accessories entirely – aside from small earrings (which were covered up by my hair).  If you’re heading out into the bitter cold, I suggest a pair of thick, opaque black tights beneath the dress to ensure maximum warmth for your legs.  I could absolutely see this dress being worn with a pair of killer red pumps or even crushed velvet, blush-toned booties.  However, I reached for my favorite heels at the moment.  I don’t kid when I say that I’ve worn these nearly every day for the past three weeks.  They’re comfortable – major win, black – so they match everything in my closet, close-toed – which keeps me warm, and guys … they’re only $25!  Never in my life have I had more compliments on a pair of shoes while just walking through Target or visiting my boyfriend at work.  I can’t recommend them enough.  They’re perfect to wear to a party, because you know your feet won’t feel like death at the end of the night.  Out of the entire 20 (?) days I’ve worn them, only one day did my feet begin to get sore, and that was purely because I was walking for hours on end without rest.

Vampy Goodness: Hold Everything - You Need This Dress // She Saw Style

In all, my party outfit was only $125, and for such a great price, I felt pretty fabulous.  When I got home from shooting this dress, I didn’t even want to take it off.  I very nearly wore this gorgeous piece just to binge-watch superhero shows on Netflix with B.  How would you style it?  I can think of so many possibilities!

    This dress is truly amazing for the price point. I’m a big fan of lace so you have me majorly swooning right now. Nice details on the sleeves and I love how you simply styled it! Not much accessories are needed with a dress like that!

What's the next backlist book on your TBR? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a huge fan of reading backlist books and this year, that has primarily come in the form of rereading my favorites 🫶🏼 I've finished my rereads of the Shades of Magic, Shadow and Bone, and The Hunger Games series - and I'm continuing my rereads of Six of Crows, Renegades, Strange the Dreamer, and All the Stars and Teeth 🙀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next up on my backlist TBR:
 ☕️ Legends & Lattes (FINALLY - been waiting for this library hold for what feels like a thousand years)
♾️ Stealing Infinity (I received a copy of this from Entangled but it's been sitting on my shelf far too long.. it's time to dive in)
🐍 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (after my THG reread, I'm ready to jump into this to prep for the upcoming film)
🎤 On the Come Up (I started craving more Angie Thomas after Concrete Rose so this was the natural next step)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? 👆🏼

This book - whew - it's heavy and haunting and simultaneously so beautiful and hopeful ✨ I've truly never read anything quite like it and I know I'll want to revisit it time and again, especially when I find myself struggling with the negative voices in my head 🤎 (Please note the content warnings before beginning your journey into this incredible story)

Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎 My mom ca Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎

My mom can confirm that when I was younger, I was constantly gobbling up mystery books 📖 As I got older, I found that so many books labeled as “mysteries” for YA and adults were more like thrillers - focusing on suspense and fear, rather than sleuthing (not my jam) 🙈

Now, I’m realizing that I must have just been looking in the wrong places for good mysteries, because they’re definitely out there 🙌🏼 I absolutely devoured The London Séance Society - enjoying the way it blended historical mystery, a healthy dose of suspense, and wild fantastical elements into just over 350 pages 🔮

Have you read this one yet? 🕯️

How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever since I finished my reread of the Shadow and Bone trilogy, I've found it so hard to get into anything else and all I want to do is just drop my entire TBR and continue rereading the rest of the Grishaverse 🫶🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Y'all, the S&B obsession is so real (again) for me right now and I don't know if tomorrow's premiere will help soothe me or make things even worse 🙈 Oh, who am I kidding? 😅 It’s gonna make me a thousand times more insufferable 🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've never been in a reading slump and I've only had a book hangover a couple of times, so I'm thinking that continuing with comfort reads of the same world/genre is going to be the most beneficial 📚 Off to open up Six of Crows next 🖤

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
GOSH, I could not be more excited for season 2 of the show to premiere on Thursday (I even rebooked a dentist appointment for this - and gave myself the day off work 🙈) And I think I’m somehow even more excited since Daisy Head gave me a shoutout on the Netflix IG page and Ben Barnes replied to my Q&A comment on Reddit 😱 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You all know Genya would be the first on my guest list, but of course, I'd also want to invite Alina, Jesper & Wylan, Tamar, and probably Inej as well 🙌🏼 And yes, yes, I'd love The Darkling to be there (if he can... behave himself? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or maybe even if he can’t 😏)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're looking for all the Grishaverse goodness, peep my blog for everything from merch (like my Sun Saint candle from @janzywaxco ☀️) to themed drinks (the Jurda Parem is my favorite 🍹) to a full dissection of The Darkling's character 🖤 And make sure to let me know what you're most excited for this season! 🫶🏼
