    Multicolored Skirt Keyhole Dress

    June 12, 2018 /

    If you caught my Instastories over the weekend you may have seen the sneak peek I posted of this dress. This one: Let me just start off by saying I absolutely love this dress and it was the perfect dress for me! So back in March or April I was looking for a dress for my friends’ weddings. I bought 2 dresses from Lord & Taylor for 2 of the 3 weddings I had coming up – I planned to re-wear a dress from a few years ago to the other wedding. Two weeks ago I shared the black & gold dress I wore to wedding #2 of the spring,…

    Royal Wedding: Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Recap

    May 20, 2018 /

    Did you watch the Royal Wedding yesterday? The coverage started here on the east coast at 5am and I did not wake up that early, but I did wake up at 7:30 and watched from the beginning of what I recorded. Since I could fast forward, I was able to skip over some of the boring parts. I mostly wanted to just see the people arriving and pick out all the famous people, and then of course all the wedding stuff with the royals like their arrivals and the ceremony. After the wedding was over, I immediately began rounding up photos to recap the wedding. Before I get in to…

    If you watched my Instastories over the weekend you probably caught one of my various photos and videos from my friend’s beautiful wedding. Today I’m sharing my wedding guest look! I began looking for a dress for the wedding in the late spring because I didn’t know how long it would take me to find one I liked, plus I would be away for a week at the beginning of July and I didn’t want to be rushing and stressed to find something. I didn’t quite know what I wanted, but I did know that I what I really wanted was something with mixed textures i.e. solid top and feathered skirt.…

    Photo Challenge: Ambience

    January 20, 2017 /

    It’s Friday! Short work weeks are always weird. At first you’re thinking “Oh it’s already the middle of the week, this is great!” and then the next day you’re thinking “Why is this week dragging?” Well this week is even weirder for me because I have to go to work tomorrow for a parent event. I’m probably going to be all thrown off for most of the weekend. But today is still Friday which means it’s Photo Challenge Friday. This past week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post was “Ambience” and unlike last week when I had to really think for a while about what photo to use, I knew…

    I hope all of you who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday had a great time celebrating the holiday! I enjoyed the holiday and can’t wait to eat some leftovers today for lunch. Today’s also a big day because it is Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life day! I was way too tired last night to try to begin watching but I saw people on Twitter last night before bed complaining because they thought it would be released at midnight eastern time, but it was pacific so they would have to wait til 3 am to watch! I have so many plans the rest of this weekend though that I think it’s…

    Clara Silk Chiffon

    November 14, 2016 /

    It’s back to work for me today after a long weekend away for my friend’s wedding and visiting family. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen a few photos. The wedding was for my oldest friend in the world. We’ve known each other and been good friends since we were toddlers! Today, I’m sharing my wedding guest look. I wore a silk chiffon dress I got on sale from J.Crew Factory in the shade “dark cove” called the “Clara” dress. It is a rich blue color with a sweetheart neckline and blue sheer see-through material at the décolletage, shoulders, and shoulder blades/upper back in the back. The…

My November was filled with pretty high highs and My November was filled with pretty high highs and pretty low lows but my favorite thing of the month was my trip to Universal Orlando with my cousins! 🩷 Here’s a Christmas-y look at the “London” area of the park where you can see the Knight Bus, King’s Cross Station, and Grimmauld Place! Diagon Alley is “hidden” behind there! ✨

Stolen Heir is the 2nd book in the Brutal Birthrig Stolen Heir is the 2nd book in the Brutal Birthright series by @sophie_lark_author 💙. It follows Nessa Griffin (youngest sister of Callum from book 1) and Miko Wilk. In book 1, Brutal Prince, the Griffins and the Gallos join forces with the marriage between Callum and Aida. At some point during the book they get into a war with the Polish crime family and kill the head. Miko was the adopted son of the head of the Polish family and now wants revenge on the Irish and Italians. How will he bring down the Griffins and Gallos? He’ll kidnap their precious Nessa - the innocent ballerina 🩰 . But what he doesn’t take into account is falling in love with her. Nessa also doesn’t anticipate falling for her captor. 💕

I loved this book and was hooked from start to finish! I really liked Nessa and Miko and I really enjoyed seeing the Griffins and Gallos work together to get Nessa back after being enemies in book 1 🩵. 

Read this if you want a spicy mafia romance with the enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and slow burn tropes 🩵. My full review is on the blog ✨

A Curse for True Love is the 3rd and last book in A Curse for True Love is the 3rd and last book in the Once Upon a Broken Heart series and I finally read it last week! 📚 It picks up where The Ballad of Never After left off (the ending to that one broke my heart!) and we get to see how it all wraps up for Evangeline and Jacks! I love them both so much and loved being back in their world and The Magnificent North 🩷. I do wish there was so more of them together and happy as we’ve been waiting for 3 books for the payoff of their slow burn romance! But I still loved being reunited with them 🩷🍎📖

Also, I had to wear my fox sweater since Jacks affectionately calls Evangeline “little fox” 🦊🩷

My full review is on the blog ✨
