I'm not ready to let go of summer yet so I made a list of poolside essentials... at the end of summer of course 🤦♀️
A book review for all fans of avant-garde
Did you check out my September bullet journal setup from yesterday? It's lavender themed!
around the internet
Belle has a great post on the depths of your relationships when it comes to networking. Pro tip: Don't call someone your "friend" unless you guys really are friends and not someone you only met once.
Did you guys hear about the massive Tinder scam? I'm still not sure what point she was trying to prove and "social experiment" is kind of a weak excuse.
This made me chuckle - classic novels re-written as a clickbait article! I love the Great Gatsby one!
Aretha Franklin was not only an icon, but a social and civil justice advocate! RESPECT!
currently reading
I started reading The Nest and it's quite good so far!
Can't remember how I got back into this but I really want to read the Lioness Quartet books from my childhood #feminism!
I still haven't finished A Very English Scandal yet - not because it's bad (because it's realllllllly good), just haven't had time.
wishlist
This is so unnecessary in my life but I really want the Dyson hair dryer!! I can see it being so easy to pack when traveling too!
I've been wanting this Abbie Eyelet dress from Urban Outfitters since it came out but now it's on SALE!
As someone who's always cold, I can never have too many sweaters and cardigans. I just may have to get this Leith cardigan...

Hosted an aperitif night on the rooftop of my building. We have a pool and some grills! We made some aperol spritz for guests to enjoy. It was a blast!
