Book Reads.png

I've been searching for a new book. Something gripping and thrilling, not necessarily terrifying, but one I could read on lazy Sundays or before bed on a Tuesday. I've rounded up my Fall 2016 top five books below (from Glamour's collection), but would love to hear your input! 

"The first book from Ruth Bader Ginsburg since becoming a Supreme Court Justice in 1993 -- a witty, engaging, serious, and playful collection of writings and speeches from the woman who has had a powerful and enduring influence on law, women's rights, and popular culture."

"A domestic suspense debut about a young couple and their apparently friendly neighbors—a twisty, rollercoaster ride of lies, betrayal, and the secrets between husbands and wives..."

"Hilarious and moving, Hungry Heart is about yearning and fulfillment, loss and love, and a woman who searched for her place in the world, and found it as a storyteller."

"Enter Anna's world and follow her rise from "scrappy little nobody" to somebody who dazzles on the stage, the screen, and now the page -- with an electric, singular voice, at once familiar and surprising, sharp and sweet, funny and serious (well, not that serious)". 

"Trevor Noah's unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison."

+ So tell me! Which book do you like the most? And which book should I read next?

Links I Love - Party Edition!

Fall is upon us. So is party season. Get psyched.

Despite my voice being lost and not being able to sing along at the top of my lungs to throwback 90s music, this past weekend was a Fall Lovers dream. I carved a heart-eye-emoji pumpkin, went to a winery with my best friend, and brunched like the best on Sunday. It was the kind of weekend that focuses solely on rejuvenating rather than catching up. I think you need these weekends so burning out and exhaustion doesn't happen.

Have you treated yourself to one of those lately? I challenge you to unplug or spend one day next weekend doing exactly what you want to do that doesn't involve mindlessly staring at a TV but doing what you truly enjoy.   

This week I'm getting my work done early, so I can travel back to Wilmington for the weekend for fun parties and wedding celebrations. These nine links are party inspired to rev up your energy and get you excited for the next soiree on your calendar. Enjoy!

1. An awesome eyelash curler to brighten up your look (and save you money on buying falsies).

2. Fun Facts: The difference between club soda, sparkling water, and seltzer. 

3. Conversation topics. 

4. Throwing your own party? This apple pie. OMG. 

5. Five-minute makeup routines. 

6. How to dress like TV's most stylish characters (necessary for the next party, so you don't have to say, ugh I have nothing to wear and no idea how to wear it). 

7. The best piece for pulled-together-professional-with-an-after-party-to-go-to-later look. 

8. These party shoes are everything. 

9. Party ideas and inspiration. 

Have a relaxing week! Xx. 

3 Hours of Fall Music

/

Turn up the tunes and carve a pumpkin.

There is nothing like finding new music and listening to it on repeat. There's also nothing like listening to an oldie but a goodie and having it take you back to some awesome memories. I wanted the fall playlist to be a culmination of all things fall; Halloween celebrations with your closest friends, enjoying fall activities like pumpkin carving or hayrides, and any long road trips you might be taking. Enjoy! Xx. 

Have a great weekend!
