In honor of my first day at my new job at my favor In honor of my first day at my new job at my favorite local coffee shop (everyone say “YAY!” 🥳)… would you take the characters from your current read for a cup of coffee? ☕️

💎 I feel like it would be so fascinating to take Brynja, Ballast, and Saga from When the Light Returns to go get coffee. I’d have so many questions about their magic!

🐦‍🔥 I would give anything to take the entire group of characters from Ruin and Rising to get coffee. It would be such a dream to talk to the people from my favorite series!

📖 To sit down and have a chat with Diana and Matthew from The Book of Life over coffee would be incredible. They’re both so intelligent and I think I’d just sit there gaping at them the entire time!

♟️Honestly, I’d be thrilled to have coffee with *anyone* from The Inheritance Games universe. They’re BRILLIANT and I want to pick their brains for hours on end.

Last summer, along with the rest of *absolutely everyone*, I watched KPop Demon Hunters... and fell head over heels in love with every single thing about it 🙈 

It was a chain reaction of epic proportions 💥 I watched it about a week after it premiered because I kept seeing it online. I liked it, watched it again a week later, LOVED it, suggested it to friends who suggested it to their friends, started deep-diving into all of the behind-the-scenes info, wound up listening to the soundtrack so much that my entire Spotify Wrapped was just songs from that album, still somehow manage to talk about it nonstop to everyone I encounter, and I can’t WAIT for the sequel. Let’s just say it kinda became my personality 😂

Along with KPDH, I spent the last year and some change obsessing over One Tree Hill (first time watching it, got to meet some of the cast last summer, have turned Wilmington into my second home, you know... normal obsessed fan things 😉) and Marielle Kraft’s music (SO FREAKING GOOD. Saw her in concert and got to meet her as well and she’s the sweetest human) 🤎

Do we have any obsessions in common? 🤝🏼

Recommend a book that feels like a fairytale 🧚🏼‍♀️ Recommend a book that feels like a fairytale 🧚🏼‍♀️

Recently, I finished THE SUN AND THE STARMAKER by @timesnewrachel ☀️ While it was quite different from the modern, witchy fantasy books I’ve come to associate with her (otherwise known as some of my favorite books of all time), she has created a signature style of storytelling that made reading *this book* feel like coming home 🥰

I felt it instantly when I sensed her intense love for nature and the earth woven through the story, paired with such atmospheric writing that I regularly forgot I was not *in* the ethereal, whimsical world I was reading about 🌌 I felt it again in the way she writes of longing and love so powerful that there’s no doubt the characters will overcome every obstacle they face together 🤎 I felt it once more when I began to cry over supporting characters that (possibly) weren’t meant to elicit such strong emotions in the first place 🥹

THE SUN AND THE STARMAKER was everything I could possibly hope and dream a fairytale would be. It was beautiful and magical, and left me feeling so filled with joy and hope. It’s an absolute masterpiece 🙌🏼

Have you read this or any of Rachel’s other books? 📚

I gotta be real honest with y’all... I don’t read a ton of vampire books 😅 I was a wolf girly starting in middle school, and that really hasn’t changed much. I do love a good vampire book, but they haven’t always been my favorite supernatural creature 🙈

However, maybe due to the V.E. Schwab magic, I absolutely adored Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil 😍 It was precisely as toxic as she promised it would be, and I ATE IT UP. It was dark, seductive, sometimes bloody, and there was never a dull moment. I genuinely didn’t want it to end.

Have you read this one yet? 📖

The Forgotten Blog Post

Hey, it happens to all bloggers. We plan out content, take the photos, edit them, and then forget they exist.

I’m guilty! I took these photos over a month ago with full intentions to share. Then spring happened. Like, Virginia fully launched into the flowers-blooming-bees-buzzing-80°-SPRING. I traveled with my husband and took spring outfit photos. Then I came home to find that this cute outfit had never been shared. So here I am, sharing an outfit that’s possibly only applicable to 30% of the US and probably most of Australia. Oops.

However, I guess it’s a good thing that I’m sharing this look for the few of you who still need inspiration on how to dress in springtime colors when the weather is still slightly chilly. I brought out the pastels just for you! 😉


Outfit Details
sweater | jacket c/o Tailor | pants | earrings c/o Sugarfix | similar heels | similar bag | necklace

Raise your hand if the weather hasn’t quite warmed up where you live!

It’s still possible to bring spring flairs into your wardrobe, even if you’re experiencing cooler temperatures. Basically, the key is to incorporate lighter colors, thinner fabrics, and pretty prints! I always reach for blush pinks, tans and light gray, baby blue, and white. You really can’t go wrong with those shades, and you can mix and match them super easily.

For this outfit, I paired blush with a greige moto jacket, since this particular day was chilly and rainy. In my opinion, it’s better to have extra layers handy, than none at all – just in case of odd weather changes. Those seem to happen pretty frequently in the spring!

I’m sure it’s a bit closer to 50%, plenty of people in northern states are still dealing with chillier temps! Of course I’d consider this to be more like, ‘when spring feels like spring’, because when it feels like winter a leather jacket and pumps wont cut it!
