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? 🕯️

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 🖤

What to Wear on Valentine’s Day: Casual Edition

Valentine’s Day is a little over two weeks away! Can you believe it?

Since my fiancé and I are saving up for our wedding, we will probably stay in and do something simple that night, but as long as we spend time together, it will be fun!  Our first year of dating – because we were long distance – we Skyped and watched Spy Kids! 😂  I’ll never forget that.  However, if we do get the chance to go out on the town, I will most likely wear this outfit!

While plenty of gals love a dress for Valentine’s Day, sometimes the plans we make on this holiday call for something more casual.  That being said, I took the time to construct a sexier look revolving around a good pair of skinny jeans! One of my favorite ways to bring serious fire to a denim-based outfit is to add a pair of killer heels!  Red is always a good color option, no matter the occasion, but it’s especially perfect for Valentine’s Day!  These ruffle stilettos are the ideal statement shoe for a date night with your boo!


Outfit Details
similar top | similar jacket | pants | heels | similar bag

Do you want an outfit that is significant other-approved? This is a winner!

It only took one glance for my fiancé to stop and say, “Wow! You look great!” Now, as a fashion blogger, I wear a plethora of unique outfits, and my man is ridiculously sweet about them all; but when he actually pauses to just express his love for a certain ensemble, I know it’s something I’ll be wearing again on date night!  Skinny jeans, a top that accentuates my chest (without showing all my goods), a badass leather jacket, and some heels?  This is the recipe for one heck of a Valentine’s Day look!

Here’s to a fabulously casual Valentine’s Day.

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? 👆🏼

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? 🕯️

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 😏)
