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 €
Did I go way too in-depth on this just because I love these characters and coffee a little too much? πŸ™ˆ Maybe I did, but it was fun πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

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

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-80Β°-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! πŸ˜‰


Outfit Details
sweater | jacket c/o Tailor | pants | earrings c/o Sugarfix | similar heelsΒ | 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!

    I’m afraid to tell you that Orange County, CA has warmed up quite nicely. I love your outfit and honesty about forgetting all about these photos!

    Not surprisingly, that outfit looks great on you! It isn’t warm here yet, but the snow is gone (at least for now.)

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 €
Did I go way too in-depth on this just because I love these characters and coffee a little too much? πŸ™ˆ Maybe I did, but it was fun πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

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₯°

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

This past year, I either began or finished a few spin-off series that I found myself enjoying even more than their predecessors πŸ™ˆ 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! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

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 πŸ—“οΈ

Have you read The Dreamer Trilogy yet? πŸ’­

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“–
