I have felt like my reading speed has slowed down in the past couple of months. I am not sure why, but everything ebbs and flows in life, so we are going with it. I did want to share the few books I have finished, though! Picking out books can be very overwhelming when there are as many options out there. On the contrary, I think my slight reading rut is because there are so many options and I want to read them all but feel like there is not enough time for that, hah. So with that, here's my list, and I hope I can give you some book inspiration!

What I Have Finished:

-I know this is only 2 books! I think I also finished a Harry Potter book since I last chatted about reading.

Would Like to Meet- This one was a gift from a friend, and isn't something I would normally pick up, but I LOVED it! Its a rom com about writing a rom com movie, and its so well done. I actually laughed out loud on multiple occasions while reading this one! And unlike some other similar books I have read, I could not figure out the ending until it happened. Such a fun read, and would be a great vacation read. I really want this to be made into a movie, I think there is a lot of potential!!

The Royal We- I feel late to the party with this one, aha. I have come to realize that I love a fiction book about royals, and this one is so good! It definitely has Will + Kate courtship vibes, but with some great dishy twists. I loved how it really followed the main characters over a long period of time to see the journey it takes to be accepted into the royal family, especially as a (American) commoner. The sequel is on my list to read soon!


On My TBR List:

Malibu Rising

The Heir Affair- the sequel to The Royal We

Friends and Strangers

Anna K

The Last Mrs. Parrish


I am always looking for more recommendations, so leave me yours or send them to me on IG!!


As always,

#dontforgetyourpearls and happy reading!

Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic

  Who else has been loving the  Coastal Grandmother aesthetic trend on TikTok? I've been very engrossed in this trend that is actually not at all trendy and a nod to classic style, which I LOVE. Classic summer style is one of my favorite facets of classic style- linen dresses and pants, sun hats, walks on the beach and lots of rosé. This is literally me. And I consider myself a grandmillennial, so coastal grandmother is not too far off. Some may call it coast-grand-millennial ;) ALSO, a couple of weeks ago the Today Show did a segment on the trend, and featured a clip from one of my coastal gran TikToks! These are things you need to create your own coastal grandmother aesthetic, the coastal grandmother starter kit if you will. You probably have most of these things in your closet if you are a fellow classic style lover, like myself. So lets all live our lives as if we lived in a Nancy Meyers movie, and have the best coastal grandmother girl summer. Coast Grandmother Essentials: - B

What I Packed for Rhode Island

  I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult. As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new ap

Favorite Spots: St. Paul, MN

I have been thinking about Minnesota lately, and felt like reminiscing on some of my favorite spots in St. Paul, MN. Most people hear a city in Minnesota, and think Minneapolis. Although I love the treasures of Minneapolis, I went to college in St. Paul (Roll Toms 😊💜), and lived there for 6 years, so it has a special place in my heart. First off, lets get familiar with this city. St. Paul is the state capitol of MN!! It is NOT Minneapolis as so many people think! It is the older of the Twin Cities, and I think has more charm. Its divided into neighborhoods like any other city, and some of the best spots, are little neighborhood gems. The Twin Cities are both equally "Foodie" places, and we love some craft breweries/distilleries, and good eats!! Grandview Theatre pictured above! Used to walk there during college just to get popcorn! Merriam Park University of St. Thomas - my alma matter! (I surprisingly do not have any good pics of UST..) Izzie's Ice Cre
