When I first started this book I wasn't too sure what to think; because of that, it took me forever to finish it. However, once I got into the book, understood the story and the characters, I simply could not get enough. "The Book Charmer" by Karen Hawkins was released yesterday, July 30th but I have be…

This was the longest month ever... I think July always has a tendency to be insanely long. We're just getting into the swing of summer, 4th of July kicks off the month and the heat really picks up. This month felt like it was eight weeks long instead of four and I'm happy to say goodbye to it! It was a difficu…

It's that time of the year when I start to get a little sick of bright, neon nail polishes. I'm ready for my deep, dark and vampy nails and when I saw the new Essie collection hit social media, I fell in love. The "Rocky Rose" collection is inspired by beautiful earth tones of a canyon adventure and…

We're only a few days away from August and I honestly can't wait. I'm over the summer, ready for Fall and a fresh start. Last weekend's heatwave and random thunderstorms were enough to send me over the edge and I'm just done. I didn't leave my house from Thursday-Sunday and when I did eventuall…

I have been killing the book game lately; just constantly reading and finishing books makes me feel like a superhero. Also, all the books I've been reading have been incredible! This book, "The Stranger Inside" , I finished a month or so ago but haven't gotten around to reviewing it. The Plot Kimber …

There's something about makeup in the summer that I have a love/hate relationship with. It's too hot to always wear a full face but you still want to look put together... there is a fine balance that we all must find. Every summer I go back to old faithfuls like a cream eyeshadow, cream blush, and tinted moist…

TGIF and happy heatwave weekend! If you're in one of the hotter states this weekend, please stay inside. No one needs to be outside during this insane heat we're going to have. All of this heat is making me go a little crazy and wishing for Fall. I saw on Instagram that stores like Homegoods and Target are sta…

I have been on a huge Tory Burch kick lately. I have a new found love for her and her pieces I think because of the elegance and sophistication but also the trendiness yet classical way she designs things. I've always loved the brand but her past few collections have really caught my eye. I have previously talked …

I've had this book sitting on my shelf for a while and finally decided to pick it up a few weeks ago. I was craving a thriller and felt that this was the one I should go with. Once I started reading, I realized that I had previously started the book but never made it past the first chapter. That quickly changed an…

Happy Friday! This was another long week, especially after the holiday last week. I was quite busy this week with odds and ends; this weekend I'll be going to my friend's bridal shower. I've known her for 10 years, since high school and I remember when her and her fiancee started dating. It's wild that…

Well, it's July and you know what that means... your favorite bloggers are flooding your feeds with Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts. I usually don't focus a lot on the sale, just one post on the blog and a few on Instagram stories but for once I'm being a good blogger and looked up the sale beforehand. I …

I've always been a graphic tee kind of gal ; I pretty much wear them daily with leggings when I'm running errands or just hanging out. I will occasionally wear them with jeans if I'm looking to be slightly more put together. While I love a graphic tee , I have never been a plain tee girl. You know when peo…

For the past few summers, I've gotten a keratin treatment to help my unruly hair. The Keratin Treatment straightened and relaxed my hair so that styling was easier and it didn't frizz in the humid, hot weather. It was a blessing and completely changed my life. The reason I continued to get the treatment is tha…

This post is a day late but the 4th of July truly kicked my butt! I went to my boyfriend's family's house out on Long Island and spent two gorgeous days there. It was so incredible, so peaceful and so fun. They had a gorgeous house on the water so I spent the entire day outside surrounded by good people. I lov…

It's the 4th of July yet again and I feel like summer hasn't even really begun. Usually by this time every year I feel like summer is over but for some reason that is not the case in 2019. Today I'll be headed out East aka far out on Long Island with my boyfriend for a day of sun and rosé. I figured I woul…

Fiona Davis has quickly become one of my favorite authors, even if this is only the 2nd book I read by her. I read " The Dollhouse " almost THREE years ago (I had no idea it was that long) and loved it! " The Address " is very similar to Davis' first book and I can see that her two newest books…

How is it July 2019 already? I feel like New Years was yesterday. It's such a weird feeling when time goes by really fast. Once July hits I feel like summer is over but this year, I feel like it's just getting started. There's still a lot of fun stuff to come -- baby birthdays, bridal showers, and engageme…

It seems that Essie is back for more astrology polishes and I couldn't be more excited about it! I did a review on their first Mercury in Retrograde collection last year and the polishes were good, but had to be built up to full intensity. When I saw them post about the second edition, I was skeptical but the mom…
