How’s everyone been enjoying Fashion Week? Last week was pretty hectic with all the fun events I was able to attend and now it’s time to start sharing my photos! :) First up, the blogger meetup at The Strand organized by the lovely Katy Rose of Modly Chic. Sorry some of the pictures are blurry- the rainy weather didn’t make for the best lighting!

The Top of the Strand is a really lovely rooftop bar with a great ambiance. I met up with Alex before the event and then we headed over there together. At first we were shy, but then we met Katy Rose (who is awesome, by the way!) and started to loosen up and mingle. It was so great to able to talk with other people who totally get blogs and/or blog themselves! I got to meet and chat with some very sweet bloggers, including Laura from A La Mode et Plus and Marissa from The Well-Appointed Catwalk, as well as Heather and Lia who were representing TJ Maxx/Marshalls. All in all, it was a very fun event and we walked away with some lovely goodies :)
Stay tuned for more recap posts about Fashion Week events in the next few days! =)
![BLOODMARKED by Tracy Deonn (@simonteen #gifted) • This was probably my most anticipated release of 2022 and it was amazing! LEGENDBORN catapulted onto my list of all-time favorite books when I read it a couple years ago and now BLOODMARKED is right up there with it.
I loved being back in this world and back with these characters. Bree is such an incredible main character. She can be critical of herself, but she’s also so brave and strong. She lets herself be vulnerable with her close circle of friends. She loves fiercely and she would go to the ends of the earth for the people that she loves. Throughout this book, Bree has so many questions about her powers. When she finally realizes the answer, I was like “Yesssss, girl, yessssss!!!”
I’m so in awe of the fantasy world that Deonn has created. I loved learning more about Bree’s magic in book 2 and it still feels like there’s so much left to discover about the magical workings of this world.
This book was action-packed up and I did not want to put it down! I saved it for my honeymoon so that I could read it in longer chunks. I’m so glad I did that because I feel like it really allowed me to immerse myself in the world as I was reading.
I enjoyed this book so much, from the character growth, to the battle scenes, to the themes of self-discovery and finding your path. I can’t wait for more people to read BLOODMARKED! If you haven’t read the LEGENDBORN books yet, what in the world are you waiting for??

Oh how wonderful!!!! You look beautiful!
Oooh! Is this the top of The Strand bookstore? I didn’t know they had a rooftop bar. Unless I am terribly mistaken and this is not the bookstore and a completely different vendor.
Glad you had a great time! Take more photographs of New York. I shall live vicariously through you.
No, it’s actually the top of the Strand Hotel! Speaking of The Strand bookstore, I haven’t been yet- I really should go!
I do need to take more pictures of NYC- I think that’s going to be one of my goals for the fall :)
Ugh, sorry, I wish I could have gotten them to come out clearer! Next time I’ll try to figure out how to set shutter speed on your camera!
Not at all your fault- I should know how to work my own camera! Lol :) I need lots more practice!
That’s awesome – I love a good blogger meet up!

It was so great to meet you and get the chance to hang out not once but twice while in New York! There should be more opportunities like last week! Great round-up and thanks for the shout-out! – Katy
It was really great to meet you too Katy- I had a blast hanging out with you! Can’t wait for the next fashion-related event that brings us together! Also, thanks for the retweet today =)
Wow that sounds like an amazing time! I hope that one of these days I’ll be able to do a meet-up for Fashion Week!
Too bad I didn’t go. I had so much homework to do!
Love the dress, you look picture perfect in it. A girl cannot go wrong with We Love Tights, there tights are great.
