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₯°

Warm Me Up: The Leaves Are Finally Falling

Warm Me Up: The Leaves Are Finally Falling // She Saw Style

Current situation: curled up in one of my coziest cardigans from last year, listening to the leaves rustling outside my open window, enjoying the scent of a burning “Leaves” candle fromΒ Bath & Body Works, and eating my weight in fun-sized Snickers that are probablyΒ meant to be handed out on Halloween. Β I couldn’t ask for a more perfect autumn day. Β When the rains slow and the air becomes crisp and clear with not a cloud in the sky and you can watch as the leaves cascade down onto your car while you’re driving out to a pumpkin patch –Β that is when my heart is the happiest. Β Since that scenario is finally coming to fruition here in RVA, I’m pulling out my softest sweaters for the long, chilly months ahead.

Warm Me Up: The Leaves Are Finally Falling // She Saw Style Warm Me Up: The Leaves Are Finally Falling // She Saw Style

This particular knit is fromΒ Lolly Clothing and was actually designed to be a dress. Β However, my long frame hardly allows for me to wear most dresses, so I turned it into a tunic-length top and wore it over denim! Β Honestly, that made me love the piece even more, because I’ve always been a fan of extra-long shirts. Β There’s no concern of my booty hanging out when I bend over, and I don’t have to worry about any showing skin having goosebumps on goosebumps from the cold.

One accessory that has never failed to be my best friend during the cooler months is my scarves! Β When I was younger, my scarf collection was nearly as excessive as my sunglasses collection is now. Β When the leaves begin to fall, I begin to buy more and more scarves – especially blanket scarves. Β These serve a duel purpose! Β They’re great to wear as a cuteΒ accessory, but they’re also fantastic when you go into a freezing movie theater and you wish you had a blanket to curl up with. Β There’s also a million ways to style them, which I really had no idea about until I watched this video by the queen of scarves herself, Miss Emily Ann GemmaΒ (a serious style inspiration of mine)!

Warm Me Up: The Leaves Are Finally Falling // She Saw Style Warm Me Up: The Leaves Are Finally Falling // She Saw Style

I’ve been loving my long hair lately! Β When I was in high school, my hair was nearly to my butt, and then after graduation, I chopped it into a bob, and kept it that way for several years. Β It wasn’t until last summer that I decided to let it grow back out again, and man, has it been a process! Β Because of my health issues (does anyone want an update on that, by the way? Β I realize, I haven’t talked about it in a long time) the strength of my hair and nails and the quality of my skin is just terrible. Β I’m vitamin-deficient now, so it makes growing out healthy hair quite the challenge. Β I’m thankful for these Irresistible MeΒ extensions that give me the thickness and length I’ve been so desperate for! Β Can’t wait to share how I style them to blend with my shorter hair soon.

Do you like wearing scarves? Β If so, which style is your favorite? Β Are you more into the classic rectangle shape, chunky infinity scarves, or blankets like mine? Β Have you found any unique ways to wear them that you haven’t seen on anyone else? Β I’m always searching for new ways to wrap mine and make it look different!

If I’m being totally truthful, I haven’t read that many of them BUT I just finished my reread of All the Stars and Teeth and was reminded how much I love it 😍 I need more books like this! 🌊

Give me recommendations for books with pirates, mermaids and sirens, island curses, and other high seas goodness βš“οΈ

How would your favorite book character take their How would your favorite book character take their coffee? β˜•οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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

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 πŸ₯Ή
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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 πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ 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 β˜•οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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 πŸ™ŒπŸΌ I've made talking about books and coziness my full-time gig and I couldn't be happier about it 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Thank you all for welcoming me to this wild and wonderful corner of the internet πŸ™ˆ Cheers to tons more bookish goodness! πŸ“š

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 πŸ₯°
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

What is a spin-off series that you prefer over the What is a spin-off series that you prefer over the originals? πŸ“š

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’­
