Oh hey, remember when I used to do outfit posts? Alex and I hadn’t met up in a while, so this weekend we decided to get together and have a little tea party with Hope. Before our gathering, we went down to the water to snap a few quick pictures. I’d never been to this area of the East River and I imagine it being a nice place to take a stroll when the weather is warmer.
So pretty much everything I’m wearing in this outfit is from Joe Fresh. I really only shopped at one place during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales and it was Joe Fresh since they were having a 40% off sale on everything. I scored this comfy sweater dress, a couple pairs of tights, two sweaters and a beanie, all together costing me around $50. Thank you Joe Fresh for allowing me to make some much-needed updates to my winter wardrobe!

![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

I love this black and white all over look and Joe Fresh is so fun and at 40% off VERY affordable! Glad you finally got some outfit photos – it’s always so much harder during the winter.
Thank you! It really is, since it’s dark by the time I get off work. Hopefully I can meet up with Alex again this weekend for more! :)
Um so cute!!! I LOVE how your hat and dress match! Cozy and adorable.
Thanks so much Catherine! I can say that both the hat and dress are very cozy :)
How cute! I can’t believe you got all of that for only $50! Hope you’re enjoying the holidays :)
