What time of day do you find yourself reading the What time of day do you find yourself reading the most? 📖

No matter what happens during my day, without fail you will absolutely find me curled up in bed with a book every night 🛏️ I can’t let a day go by without reading, so getting an hour (or three) in before I catch some zzz’s is the best 🥱

However, I also spend a bit of time each day listening to my audiobooks - usually while I’m working on mindless tasks in the morning 🎧 And of course, if I wind up with free time in my afternoon or it’s a relaxing weekend, I love curling up in my library’s reading nook with my current read and a cup of coffee ☕️

What was the last book that kept you up way too late because you had to know what happened next? 💤

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! 🙌🏼

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 🥹 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? 📖 Have you read any of Abby’s other phenomenal romance novels? 🥰

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 😅

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 📖 That’s what I did with BEACH READ last Sunday and it was wonderful 🥰 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! 🙈 

If only I could have more days like that 😂 Have you read Beach Read or anything else by Emily Henry? ☀️

How to Maximize the Use of Your One Piece Swimsuit

The one piece swimsuit has come a long way. They used to be seen as prude, and now they’re chic. I believe the greatest part about them is their versatility!

With a one piece swimsuit, know you’ll have the perfect outfit ready to go in a snap. They basically double as a bodysuit, and you don’t have to wear a bra (literally the best solution for a small-busted lady like myself). I have an extra-long torso, so one piece swimsuits have always been a challenge for me. Growing up, my family dressed very modestly and conservatively, so one pieces were my only option – and I would always complain to my mom that they were uncomfortable. They stretched oddly on my long, lanky form. As an adult, I hadn’t found any solutions to this issue, and even bodysuits were hard to come by.

However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Adore Me offered one piece swimsuits that actually fit and flattered my build. I have two of them now that I love tremendously. ASOS also offers long-torso options for swimwear, which is super appealing. What I’ve found in this gorgeous black one piece is a key item for the summer.

Let me show you why…


Outfit Details
swimsuit c/o Adore Me | skirt c/o Chicwish | heels | similar necklace | sunglasses | similar bag | similar earrings

The foolproof way to shop for a versatile one piece swimsuit is by selecting a solid-colored item.

Black is as classically chic as it gets, so I was thrilled that Adore Me offered this particular style in a solid color along with the fun patterns. This piece can easily be taken from pool or beach to dinner and drinks. Just shimmy into a midi skirt, add some heels, and you’re set! In fact, I can imagine myself wearing this swimsuit as just a bodysuit, rather than for the sake of soaking up some sun.

If you’re curious about other ways to style this particular black one piece swimsuit, see the collages below! They are also shoppable, so click on whichever item you fancy, and it’ll redirect you to the website.

    I need to get this suit! I’m a fan of the ruffle cold shoulder deets (which covers up my arms). I also love how you style it as part of the outfits. So chic!

    I love the outfits you created! I’m actually heading to Hawaii in December and I’m trying to come up with outfit ideas that will take me from beach to restaurant! I really love the swimsuit you featured here – the ruffled sleeves are so cute!

What time of day do you find yourself reading the What time of day do you find yourself reading the most? 📖

No matter what happens during my day, without fail you will absolutely find me curled up in bed with a book every night 🛏️ I can’t let a day go by without reading, so getting an hour (or three) in before I catch some zzz’s is the best 🥱

However, I also spend a bit of time each day listening to my audiobooks - usually while I’m working on mindless tasks in the morning 🎧 And of course, if I wind up with free time in my afternoon or it’s a relaxing weekend, I love curling up in my library’s reading nook with my current read and a cup of coffee ☕️

What was the last book that kept you up way too late because you had to know what happened next? 💤

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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 🫶🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did I go way too in-depth on this just because I love these characters and coffee a little too much? 🙈 Maybe I did, but it was fun 🤷🏻‍♀️

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! 🙌🏼

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 🥹 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? 📖 Have you read any of Abby’s other phenomenal romance novels? 🥰

What was the last book you read in one sitting? 🐒

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 😅

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 📖 That’s what I did with BEACH READ last Sunday and it was wonderful 🥰 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! 🙈 

If only I could have more days like that 😂 Have you read Beach Read or anything else by Emily Henry? ☀️

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today is my third bookstaversary, friends! 🤎 I can't begin to express how thankful I am for this wonderful community and how it has impacted my life over the last three years 🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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 🤷🏻‍♀️ 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 ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I joined bookstagram in 2020, thinking it would just be a fun little hobby to have on the side while I continued my fashionista hustle... and a year later, I rebranded EVERYTHING to The Espresso Edition 🙌🏼 I've made talking about books and coziness my full-time gig and I couldn't be happier about it 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you all for welcoming me to this wild and wonderful corner of the internet 🙈 Cheers to tons more bookish goodness! 📚

There have been quite a few characters I've read about this month who I'd love to sit down and chat with over a hot bev 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, from my current reads, I would NOT take anyone from Jade Legacy (because you never know who might end up unaliving), I'd definitely take both Kell and Lila from A Darker Shade of Magic, I'm not entirely sure I'd enjoy coffee with Katniss from The Hunger Games (since she's not the most exciting conversationalist), but I'd absolutely love chatting it up with Alina from Shadow and Bone! 🙌🏼

This past year, I either began or finished a few spin-off series that I found myself enjoying even more than their predecessors 🙈 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! 🙌🏼

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 🗓️

Have you read The Dreamer Trilogy yet? 💭
