I was SO thrilled when I saw @kristinaforest's announcement for The Partner Plot, an adult romance that follows Violet (the older sister of Lily from The Neighbor Favor) and her high school sweetheart 🩷 It's coming out in the spring of 2024 and I'm already counting down the days until it's in my hands πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
If you haven't read The Neighbor Favor yet, what are you waiting for? πŸ˜‰ It's absolutely ADORABLE and I was so thrilled to get a copy of it in one of my @litlovebox packages - along with some delicious chocolates and coffee, of course β˜•οΈ Use the code STEPH5 for a discount on your very own box (good til the end of May!) 🎁

What are your favorite adult fantasy series? βš”οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few years ago, I devoured The Daevabad Trilogy and completely fell in love with the absolutely magnificent world-building 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Adult fantasy can be tricky if you're used to the pacing in YA fantasy, but after some time, you might find that you really enjoy the way that the story develops πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite completed adult fantasy series:
πŸ’š The Green Bone Saga (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy)
πŸ§›πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ All Souls (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life)
🐺 The Wilderwood (For the Wolf, For the Throne)
⏳ Shades of Magic (A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, A Conjuring of Light)

I certainly felt that about a few of the books I read this past month, but especially:
πŸ«– The Tea Dragon Society - this entire MG graphic novel trilogy just warmed my heart so much. It's precious and wonderful and if you haven't read it, please do because you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.
πŸ” Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers - within the first couple of chapters, I was belly-laughing so hard I was crying. This was hilarious and adorable and I didn't want it to end. I immediately began recommending it to everyone. 
⛱️ Happy Place - because of course! I mean, this book did make me sob my eyes out multiple times, but it also made me belly laugh more than once as well. It was perfect in every way and very quickly became my second fave of Emily's books (just after PWMOV)!
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Ballerina Baby: Pastel Pink in the Height of Winter

Ballerina Baby: Pastel Pink in the Height of Winter // She Saw Style

I was recently commenting to someone on how pleased I was that pastels are becoming more and more acceptable for winter-wear. Β No longer are we bound to a wardrobe of black and gray for the colder months (though I love wearing those too, as you’ll see in an upcoming post), but “winter whites” and blush pink tones are being presented as not only acceptable, but encouraged colors. Β These lighter tones bring a brighter feeling toΒ our souls asΒ the dreary weather that tends to accompany these frigidΒ months attempts to shut down our emotions along with our internal organs πŸ˜‚

I found myself browsing the racks ofΒ Target the other day in hopes of discovering some pieces to carry from winter into spring. Β Among the handful of items I chose (you can see my first pick here), was this baby pink top with the prettiest ballerina-style, crochet peplum hem. Β I was pleased to find out that it was on super-sale for only $16, so I snatched up the last available one on the rack in the store, and hurried home to wear it right away! Β What’s even more exciting is that it’s the same price online, and all sizes between XS-XXL are in stock in both this beautiful blush, as well as a deep wine color (for those of you who truly prefer the darker shades during the winter).

Since the top already has a lot going on, between the crochet scalloped hem, and the daintyΒ bow sides, I chose not to accessorize too wildly, so as to let the top speak for itself. Β A long, three-row frontal necklace, and a pair of matching pink lace heels did the trick just fine to take this outfit from basic to beautiful. Β These are the kinds of clothing items I look for as everyday wear. Β They make dressing “casually” so easy, and in turn, you appear so elegant. Β They give you the look of “I totally tried” when you totally didn’t.

When it comes to my winter wardrobe, I don’t see myself giving up these pretty pastels any time soon. Β No matter what “they” say (whoever “they” is), I will continue to wear white after Labor Day, and let blush pink rule my world until I trade it for a brighter shade in the summer time. Β How do you feel about these light colors when it’s cold outside? Β Are you totally on board the pastel train or will you be following the “rules” of winter-wear?

While it is easier to wear blacks and grays in the winter, theres no reason not to wear other colors! I see so many girls out in Tokyo wearing pastels and other bright colors and it looks great. I do think pinks and reds look best on you – I adore this top!

I don’t think there should ever be rules in general for fashion.

I certainly didn’t want to do anything more dramatic than denim on my bottom half, since the peplum already has so much going on for the top! Plus, this way it’s super casual, while still feeling flirty and cute! Hope you’ve had a great week as well!

What a steal! This lace top is so lovely on you. Blush pink is so perfect right now. πŸ™‚ I have to say that I rarely wore blush pink in the winter over a year ago, but since I live where it’s sunny year round, I don’t wear as much black as I used, and have adopted lighter colors like soft greys and pink. I am completely guilty of loving and missing all black outfits, leathers and fur though. At least I still have lace, right? πŸ™‚
By the way, loving your hair, and how you paired your outfit with those lovely shoes. πŸ™‚

I used to never wear pink at all haha. So I started with hot pink, but I have no idea why I didn’t start with something as darling and feminine as this beautiful blush pink! It’s so elegant and it makes me feel like a princess. I love my dark colors still because they’re safe, but the lighter shades make me feel happier in the gloomy, cold months!

I was SO thrilled when I saw @kristinaforest's announcement for The Partner Plot, an adult romance that follows Violet (the older sister of Lily from The Neighbor Favor) and her high school sweetheart 🩷 It's coming out in the spring of 2024 and I'm already counting down the days until it's in my hands πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

I've been starting (and completing) a lot of series this year πŸ™ŒπŸΌ Admittedly, half of them are rereads, but they still count, right? πŸ˜…
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Series rereads I've finished this year:
🌊 All the Stars and Teeth
🏹 The Hunger Games
🦌 Shadow and Bone
❣️ Shades of Magic
πŸ¦β€β¬› Six of Crows
πŸ‚ Heartstopper (up to date)
πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ Renegades
 
Series I've finished this year (not rereads):
πŸ’š The Green Bone Saga
πŸ₯° Jansen Brothers
🌲 Lovelight Farms
πŸ” Truly Devious (trilogy - still working on the continuations)
πŸ«– The Tea Dragon Society
πŸ§šπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ These Hollow Vows
πŸƒ The Cardplay Duology
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've also started several more, but I'm most proud of the ones I've completed βœ… There's something so satisfying about finishing a series, don't you think? πŸ˜‚

What are your favorite adult fantasy series? βš”οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few years ago, I devoured The Daevabad Trilogy and completely fell in love with the absolutely magnificent world-building 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Adult fantasy can be tricky if you're used to the pacing in YA fantasy, but after some time, you might find that you really enjoy the way that the story develops πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite completed adult fantasy series:
πŸ’š The Green Bone Saga (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy)
πŸ§›πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ All Souls (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life)
🐺 The Wilderwood (For the Wolf, For the Throne)
⏳ Shades of Magic (A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, A Conjuring of Light)

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I don't have many IRL friends who enjoy reading, but I have been lucky enough to recommend books to fiction newbies in the past and I usually start with The Midnight Library! πŸ“š I think it's a book everyone should read (but that's because it saved my life, so it's very special to me) and I especially recommend it during May, Mental Health Awareness Month! πŸ’š

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I certainly felt that about a few of the books I read this past month, but especially:
πŸ«– The Tea Dragon Society - this entire MG graphic novel trilogy just warmed my heart so much. It's precious and wonderful and if you haven't read it, please do because you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.
πŸ” Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers - within the first couple of chapters, I was belly-laughing so hard I was crying. This was hilarious and adorable and I didn't want it to end. I immediately began recommending it to everyone. 
⛱️ Happy Place - because of course! I mean, this book did make me sob my eyes out multiple times, but it also made me belly laugh more than once as well. It was perfect in every way and very quickly became my second fave of Emily's books (just after PWMOV)!
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Thank goodness I'm a big fan of rereading because I know I'll be revisiting all of these books again in the future πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
