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? 🕯️

Palazzo Pants You Can Wear Now and Wear Later

Another outfit to wear now and later! Excited as I am? Let’s chat about these palazzo pants.

I remember the first time I tried on palazzo pants like it was yesterday. I have been set in my skinny jean ways for some time now, and slipping on those wide-leg bottoms, feeling the breezy comfort and ease of motion – it was like I could actually hear the angels singing. Okay, maybe it wasn’t quite that dramatic, but it was pretty life-altering when I realized I didn’t need some skin-tight denim to make me feel swank and stylish. In fact, I often feel more on-top of my fashion game when I’m wearing wider pants! Mind-blowing!

This is the second post in my newest series. If you’re new and don’t know about the series yet, let me give you the low-down: I’ll be styling five items from Forever 21 in very different ways so that you can see how to wear them right now for summer and again once autumn arrives! My introduction articles for each item will include my closest interpretation of how the online model wore them. Eager for more? Me too.

Read the first post here (but only if you love $12, classy dresses you’ll never want to take off)!


Outfit Details
pants | top | necklace | earrings c/o Sugarfix | similar shoes | similar bag

For reference, this is what the Forever 21 model wore:

And here’s how I styled it…

I was pretty elated over how this ensemble came together.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I do own a pair of black mules, but they’re just not what I was looking for when I put this look together. So I decided to add some touches of blush pink instead. My initial goal was to match my shoes to my handbag, but after looking through these photos, I noticed that my purse only ended up in one shot! I trust you all to believe me when I say they paired perfectly!

Before heading out the door to meet my wonderful blogger friend, Lindsey, at what has now become one of my favorite coffee shops in the city, I took an Instagram story of my outfit. I mentioned to my followers that it felt just like I was wearing pajamas in public – and getting away with it! These woven pants are 100% rayon, have a soft elastic waistband, and are completely lightweight without being too sheer (though I would recommend black underwear rather than fuchsia or something patterned).

Let it be known that these are only $10 right now! They will suit you well into the autumn, with sweaters front-tucked, cardigans over crop tops, and bodysuits that take the whole look up a notch. Stay tuned for how I style them next! 😉

How would you wear these pants for summer – and autumn?

    I pretty much love all types of palazzo wide leg pants. I’m super into skinny jeans, but wide leg pants are a favorite as well even though they’re the exact opposite in style.

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)

90-100%: hot coffee in a handcrafted thumb mug ☕️
70-89%: lavender vanilla loose-leaf tea in a clear teacup 🫖
50-69%: dry red wine in a square edge stemmed glass🍷
30-49%: taro milk tea with boba in a reusable tumbler 🧋
0-29%: spiced bourbon on the rocks in a crystal glass 🥃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Aaaaand now I want to enjoy all of these in the near future 🤤 I normally always have the first three on hand, but ya girl wants to try making bubble tea at home and it's been a hot second since I've had a bourbon or whiskey 🤷🏻‍♀️

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? 🕯️

That’s just scratching the surface, friends 😂 I posted over 100 spoiler-filled stories to my close friends list during premiere day as I binged all 8 episodes, so to say I had a lot of thoughts would be an understatement 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No matter what I thought though (positive or negative), I support this cast and Leigh with my whole heart 🤎 So, I’ll be continuing to stream the season like crazy to get that Crows spin-off/season 3 (and I suggest you do too)! 👌🏼

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! 🫶🏼

Hyped books are funny things to me because I do read a decent amount of them, but I feel like very few of them actually live up to the praise they receive 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The last one I read and enjoyed was One Dark Window 🪟 The last one that absolutely did NOT live up was The Roughest Draft 👎🏼 The next on my radar is Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries, so I hope I wind up loving it! 🤎

I think @litlovebox actually read my mind when they created the Coffee & Chocolate box ☕️ Each month, they send a gourmet bag of coffee (I chose whole beans so I can grind them for espresso), a delicious chocolate snack (walnut toffee and a chocolate lolly for me) and a newly released novel (Georgie, All Along - which sounds so cute) 🙌🏼
