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)

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? 🕯️

#WeddingWednesday: A Fiancé Explains Dating a Fashion Blogger

Earlier this week, I asked Brandon what it was like to date a fashion blogger.

We will be getting married this autumn, and he will officially earn the title of “Instagram husband.” It’s been so fun to see him get more involved with The Espresso Edition as I’ve grown and really cultivated my style.  I thought it would be fun to share his thoughts on this life (along with some of the hilarious “test photos” I’ve taken of him during our shoots), so without further ado, from the desk of my darling fiancé:

“Dating a fashion blogger – then becoming engaged to a fashion blogger – has been life-changing.

There are some obvious reasons why my relationship with Stephanie has had such an impact on my life, but I’ll discuss each aspect of how fashion blogging, specifically, has affected it.

Convenience

When Stephanie and I were still long distance, we found it convenient for her to bring her work with her when she visited me in Florida. A couple of photoshoots before I went to work at the mall, then she was able to keep me company while writing her posts … before heading off to go shopping. I give a lot of credit to her flexibilty in how we were able to stay strong that first year. We proved to everyone who doubted us that we could make it work.

Contagious

I never thought too hard about what I wore when I left the house. Once I started dating Stephanie, somehow I just knew that what I was wearing wasn’t exactly “chic” (I don’t know if I used that right but I’ve heard her say it before). Don’t get me wrong, she’s never been mean in telling me what to wear (because she’s sweet like that) but being the man that’s holding her hand and walking down the street with her – I knew that I should fit the part a bit better. So, I started dressing nicer and asked her what she liked on me. Matching became important. Style became important. Quality of clothes became important. Soon she even featured me in a couple of her posts and I honestly felt pretty good in them. I loved that evolution! She looked at me with heart eyes and I never wanted that to end.

Videography

Before Stephanie arrived in my life, I only had one goal: to create music videos for musicians. After doing enough shoots and filming my stunning woman so often, I really grew to appreciate lookbooks for fashion bloggers. It opened my eyes to so much more that I could be doing with videography, and expanded my range of thinking, as well as my versatility.

Bragging

Okay, seriously, I don’t know why people assume I’m not cool, but I always get this look – some of you Insta-husbands and boyfriends know what I’m talking about – whenever someone hears or sees that Stephanie has nearly 14k followers on IG, it’s a look (or outburst) of, “umm, why is she dating you?” … and hey, that’s not nice! I have feelings too (😭). All jokes aside though, I love it! I get to say I’m dating a fashion blogger/model and that’s something I never thought I’d be able to say before she came along. I love when she visits me at work before a shoot, all glammed up, shining, and fierce. I see jaws drop left and right and it makes me laugh becuase she doesn’t notice (or maybe she’s just being modest). I’m always willing to lift her hand in public, give her a spin, and show everyone around us, “you see this?! This here. This is mine!”

Passion

Throughout our 3 years together I’ve seen everything behind the scenes: the stress, the sadness, the fear, the exhaustion, the doubt, and the overall nightmare that can be fashion blogging in today’s saturated community. But I’ve also seen the blood, sweat, and tears that this girl will sacrifice to engage in what she enjoys, and I mean it when I say that my girl is a warrior and she can do anything she puts her mind to. I couldn’t be any luckier to witness such power and confidence radiate from my soon-to-be wife. Seeing her do this all day, every day, always lights my fire, and she constantly inspires me to do the same. Since the day we met, it’s definitely been one amazing journey, and when fashion blogging became a part of her life, it definitely became part of mine. I’m there to be the hand to hold, the shoulder to cry on, and the voice to remind her that she should fight. But I’m also there to provide the celebratory hugs, tacos, and ice cream after a new collaboration is confirmed. I love my role in all of it.

Would I recommend dating a fashion blogger? Yes (just not mine). If you’re asking why you should … well, because it truly is life-changing.”

      I definitely want to keep involving him as much as possible in this blog. He’s been featured in a couple of posts, but I want him to write more often because he has some serious humor that I’ll never be able to serve on my own haha!

      It made me bawl my eyes out when I first read his sentiments. I often hear more negative things about my work, so to hear all these amazing thoughts from my fiancé was so comforting!

    K, I gotta admit I’m a bit sappy reading this post. I already love you and Brandon together, but reading his perspective and how much he supports you makes me love y’all even more. It’s obvious he knows what he’s doing and truly understands what goes into the industry. He will be the perfect Instagram husband 🙂

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? 👆🏼

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)

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 😏)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're looking for all the Grishaverse goodness, peep my blog for everything from merch (like my Sun Saint candle from @janzywaxco ☀️) to themed drinks (the Jurda Parem is my favorite 🍹) to a full dissection of The Darkling's character 🖤 And make sure to let me know what you're most excited for this season! 🫶🏼
