    Red, White, & Blue Smocked Tank

    July 3, 2019 /

    Can you believe it’s the 4th of July tomorrow? In honor of the holiday I’ve got red, white, and blue outfits to share todayΒ and tomorrow! So this tank top is labeled as a “western” top, but I don’t know what really qualifies a top as “western” which is why I just named this post “Red, White, & Blue Smocked Tank” since it has smock detailing. It’s super comfortable and I like that the red and white print on it is sort of faded so it’s not too in your face. Since it is more muted, it’s perfect for all summer and not just for patriotic days. I paired the tank…

    Blue & White Tassel Romper

    July 6, 2018 /

    On the 4th of July, I wore not one but two blue & white rompers. I’ve had this lace blue & white romper with open back and tassels since last year and haven’t had the chance to share it on here. I thought the holiday was the perfect reason to re-wear it and take photos for the blog. But, it was very hot and humid out and I was moving and unpacking some things at the townhouse so it wasn’t very practical to wear all day. So, I wore it for photos in the morning and then changed into a more comfy blue & white romper for the rest of…

    Happy 4th of July! Are you guys (in the US) doing anything fun to celebrate the holiday? I’ve always loved 4th of July because of the fireworks and if you didn’t know fireworks are one of my favorite things ever. Growing up, I was hardly ever home for the 4th of July. My mom had a store and would close for the week of the 4th so my family would always go away on vacation during that week. It was rare that I was home for the holiday, but when I was I loved seeing my town’s fireworks which are pretty spectacular for a town fireworks display. So much so…

    4th of July in Cape Cod

    July 6, 2017 /

    After spending Tuesday in Nantucket, my family and I stayed on Cape Cod for the 4th of July. We planned to drive around to some of the other towns, but knew it would be crazy due to the holiday and the little bits we did drive around proved this point so we stayed relatively local. One place I did really want to go to, and luckily we didn’t have any troubles getting there, was the Cape Cod Lavender Farm. Seeing as how I have no immediate plans to head over to Europe to wander the lavender fields I always see and lust over on Instagram, this farm will have to…

    4th of July Fresh Fruit Snack

    Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! Since I knew I would be away for the holiday, I planned ahead and made a little red, white, and blue snack to share with you all ahead of time. On Pinterest, I saw these cute strawberries cut open with a cheesecake filling topped with a blueberry. Well, I didn’t have time nor did I want to make the effort of making a cheesecake filling so I simplified the dessert/snack. All I did was wash and cut the leaves off the strawberries, cut them open in a cross manner, filled them with whipped cream and topped them with washed blueberries. And…

    I hope everyone who celebrated the 4th of July had a great time! I spent it in the car heading up to Toronto, Canada. Very patriotic of me, I know. I’m up here for a few days for a wedding so it couldn’t be helped. Side story: when I was growing up, I was often away for July 4th. I think there were just a handful, or less, times that I was actually in my hometown for the holiday. When I was growing up, my mom owned a store and she closed it for a week every year during July 4th so that’s when we would go on our summer…

1 Last Shot by @nikkicastleromance is the 4th book 1 Last Shot by @nikkicastleromance is the 4th book in the Fight Game series πŸ₯Š and I finally got to read it and of course, loved it! 

This one focuses on Kane and Isabella who were both briefly introduced in book 3. Kane is a new fighter at the gym who is quiet, keeps to himself, and very intense πŸ₯Š. Isabella is new to Philly and starting a new chapter after an injury ended her professional ballet career 🩰. 

Kane is quiet and grumpy with a dark past and Isabella is sunshine, goodness, and new to living on her own and taking care of herself. The two are total opposites, but end up being neighbors and becoming friends and more. Kane wants to help Isabella navigate life on her own and feels protective of her. Isabella wants to help Kane open up more and smile and laugh πŸ₯ΉπŸ’•. 

I loved this book so much πŸ’œ. Kane and Isabella were so perfect together and I loved how even though they were opposites they were just what the other needed. It was so beautiful to watch Kane learn to trust Isabella and let someone be there for him when he’s never known that in his life πŸ’œ. 

Read this if you want a spicy, opposites attract, grumpy sunshine, sports romance! πŸ“š My full review is on the blog ✨

Things We Left Behind is the third and final book Things We Left Behind is the third and final book in the Knockemout series by @scorelucy πŸ“š. I’ve been so excited about this one because it is about Lucian and Sloane and if you’ve read the first two books you know that the two hate each other but no one really knows why. 

The novel opens with the funeral of Sloane’s father who was beloved by everyone including Lucian. It’s also learned that Sloane’s parents think of Lucian as a son so what happened to these two that were once the best of friends as teens to make them β€œenemies” for 20 years? πŸ’”

The thing that happened in the past is something that neither of them has been willing to talk about or get past and as much as they supposedly hate each other they also can’t stay away from each other when they share mutual best friends and as much as they both hate to admit it, they truly still care about each other. πŸ’•

An ongoing threat that has been present in the books since the beginning is still looming large in this book and when Sloane appears to be in the crosshairs now, it makes her and Lucian really come to terms with what they mean to each other and their past.🩷

I loved this book so much and am obsessed with Lucian and Sloane 😍πŸ”₯πŸ₯΅! I absolutely love this whole series but there is something so special about Lucian and Sloane and their shared history. I’m so sad this series is over but the epilogue helped soften the blow a little. 🩷

Read this book if you like spicy small town romances with the friends to enemies to lovers and second chance romance tropes. My full review is on the blog ✨
