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₯°

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

Why This Beautiful Pink Dress Is Perfect For Valentines Day

Totally slay Valentine’s Day and impress your date when you choose this gorgeous pink dress that’s perfect for the occasion.

If you’ve got a hot date this Valentine’s Day, you’re probably frantically searching Pinterest for some outfit inspiration. Maybe you’d like to stick with tradition and wear red – or pink! You’ve come to the right place.

take a deep breath.
grab a glass of wine.
buy this dress.

I’m definitely not the sales-y type. In fact, I quit a retail job in high school because the number one focus was trying to sell the customers on 10x more than what they needed. I love to share style inspiration, and I’ll even encourage purchasing from certain retailers, but I don’t push product. Until now. This dress is the exception. Everyone needs it.

Let me tell you why.


outfit details
dress c/o Chicwish | heels | similar bag | similar necklace | earrings c/o Sugarfix

This is the perfect pink dress for Valentine’s Day – and the rest of winter and spring!

It’s guaranteed to impress your date the moment you arrive. The fit-and-flare style is incredibly flattering, and if you’re feeling insecure about any lumps or bumps, this is the shapewear I find most comfortable (and easy to breathe in). I’m wearing the size S-M and it fit my 5’6″ frame perfectly with room to move. The material is similar to a soft wool and has a great deal of stretch, without turning baggy after multiple wears. If it’s still chilly where you live, this dress is ideal! It’s warm, but not too warm, and could easily be worn with a lightweight jacket or wool trench if the weather allows.

But pink isn’t my color!

No worries. This gorgeous dress is also currently available in mustard, cream, black, and brown if you’re hoping to go the less traditional route. If your arms aren’t long or you’re not a fan of ruffles, I suggest tucking the sleeves as I did in these photos. However, you can also totally rock the bell cuffs if you choose! The mock neck isn’t suffocating at all, and the length is modest but not prude. The moment I slipped into this lovely little number, my husband said, “wow!” So needless to say, I know for a fact it will impress your date! πŸ˜‰

Crazy enough, my very favorite book of all time is a stand-alone fantasy 😱 If you don't listen to a single other book recommendation I have this year, that's fine, but *please* read Into the Heartless Wood by Joanna Ruth Meyer 🌲 It is absolute perfection! 🀌🏼

What is your favorite graphic novel? 🎨 It was What is your favorite graphic novel? 🎨

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“–
