Recent Reads

 

I feel like I have read so many great books over the summer! I just started class, so I am not sure how much I will be able to read, but I hope to incorporate some recreational reading as I figure out my schedule and routine. I do love to read before bed so hopefully I can continue that! Any way, here are the books I have recently read. I feel like I am missing one but I cannot put my finger on it, hah. I need some more book recommendations, so please leave me a comment with a good one!


1. The Perfect Couple-This was my first read by Elin Hilderbrand, and It it is safe to say I want to read all of her books! Hilderbrand is such a great story teller, and I was so sucked into this murder mystery set on Nantucket.

2. Malibu Rising- If you loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo as much as I did, then you must read this one by the same author. It takes place over the course of 24 hours with flashbacks to the past, as it uncovers secrets of a Hollywood family.

3. The People We Meet On Vacation- This was adorable. It was the light, sweet read I needed for the summer. Yes, it is a romcom, and somewhat predictable but I could not put it down. I listened to a podcast with the author, and it was so fun to hear her motivation and inspiration for the characters and the story.

4. 28 Summers- This is another Elin HIlderbrand book. The way she told this story was so beautiful. This is definitely another romance-y book, but not overly so. It follows the two love interests over a good portion of their life starting in their 20's and moving forward for 28 summers. It will make you feel the feels, while still feeling like a light summer read. I just love that the majority of Hilderbrand's books take place on Nantucket/New England!

5. The Heir Affair- I am pretty sure I read this in the beginning of the summer. It is the sequel to The Royal We. I love any kind of fiction with royals as the topic, and this dishy sequel did not disappoint. I really need a third book from this author, or a spin off with a couple of the character- I have specific characters in mind but don't want to spoil the book!

6. The Nightingale- This book is a journey. An incredible journey with a beautifully tragic story of two sisters that play a big role in aiding the French Resistance during World War II in Nazi occupied France. It is fiction, but the women are somewhat based on real women of the war. This is a must read in my opinion. It does have some hard parts to read, but I really felt like the author did a good job at depicting the times correctly.

7. The Night Swim- I just finished this mystery/soft thriller. I have had the book for about one year, and wish I would have read it sooner! It was so interesting, and I loved that it was contemporary and the main character was a true crime podcaster. The plot is kind of two cases/mysteries at once and both end very differently. It was also a quick read if you just want something fun and fast!


What's next on my list?

-The Turnout

-Golden Girl

*I need some more suggestions/recommendations!*

A Thanksgiving Look

Turtleneck  |   Skirt  |   Tights  |   Boots Thanksgiving is only one week away! I am excited to go home, and spend time with my family and friends. This is a holiday that is HARD to dress for. On one hand, you want to wear joggers and a big sweater because of all of the yummy food and treats. On the other hand, you want to dress up, or slightly dress up while still feeling comfy. Hence, the big dressing dilemma: how to create the right look for your kind of holiday? I like to dress it up a little , without wearing a cocktail outfit or gown, haha. I created this look for a dressy, casual look. It is an easy outfit to put together, and I bet you have some similar pieces in your closet! A turtleneck, plaid skirt and tights is such a classic fall look that is also great for this holiday. It is kind of an easy dressing equation too because it is so easy to mix and match what you have in your closet, or buy one new piece that you know will go with an...

Tied with Tartan

  Happy Monday, friends! It is December, and that means you can catch me wearing plaid about every day. I wore this dress the other week, and have showed it on my Instagram, but it is still on sale, so I thought this outfit needed its own post! Dress | Shoes c/o (use libby10 for 10% off at Margaux ) | Headband J. Crew always puts out some of the best holiday pieces, in my opinion. I love all the of the plaids because they just feel so classic and timeless, and I know I will be able to wear them for forever. This new dress caught my eye this year: it is plaid, a shirt dress, AND has ruffles! I was instantly sold, and even more so during their holiday sales. And, it is still on sale- its 50% off with an extra 20% off with code FESTIVE! I am wearing a size small, and it is not too short on me. I do think, as with all J. Crew, that it runs a tad big, so you could definitely size down (I miraculously could have fit into a xs). It doesn't button all the way down, which I think is a ...

My Gal Meets Glam Collection

Hello! You might have already figured this out, but I have a serious obsession with every single Gal Meets Glam dress and collection . I feel like I am starting to grow quite the collection of the insanely beautiful dresses. I recently did a poll on my Instagram, and you guys said that you wanted to see my collection. I have compiled pictures from older posts, and from my iPhone to show you! I have purchased all of these on sale, or received them as gifts (thanks mom). I think getting them on sale is my secret for buying Gal Meets Glam dresses. They are 100% worth the investment, and will always be in style because they are such classic pieces and silhouettes. A new collection comes out about every month, and every month I look at it, and think: I want it all!! The next drop is March 13th, and I am so excited!! I have added the name of each dress below the picture. Because these are from the "older" collections, I cannot find most of the links. But here are my tips if you...
