Forever 21* dress via Saver’s, Target* tights, Steve Madden* flats
So clearly, these pictures were taken during Christmastime when I was still at home with my family! If you look closely at the tree behind me, you’ll see that the decorations are a mish mash of all the ornaments that we kids have made over the years. It’s kind of a hot mess, but I love it! :) I wore this cute little dress that I thrifted from Saver’s for Christmas Eve. Looking back at these pictures really makes me miss the holiday season- I think it just goes by way too quickly! But since it has now been over for weeks, I’ll just have to get over it and find some other date to look forward to, like February 5th! ;)
This one is just for you guys ;)
P.S. I’m going to try a little experiment this week and attempt to post everyday, so see you back here tomorrow! :)
![TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW by Gabrielle Zevin (@aaknopf #gifted) • Everyone was raving about this book, including several people whose taste I trust, so I had to pick it up a few months ago. Well, y'all were right! I loved it and I thought this was a beautiful book, both inside and out.

It’s interesting to see how the friendship between Sam and Sadie, the two characters at the center of the novel, evolves over the years. At their best, Sadie and Sam really see and understand each other. They both describe how the intimacy they share is both different and in some ways better than their romantic relationships. But at the same time, there are things that they don’t know or misunderstand about each other, even after years of being friends.

These characters really grabbed me. This is definitely a slower-paced, more character-driven story. But every time I picked it up, I was excited to get back to these characters and read more about their lives. Zevin’s writing in this book was beautiful and I liked the way she played around with the writing style at certain points in the book.

As several people have mentioned, you do not have to be into video games at all to enjoy this book. It's about artistry, craft, relationships, and friendships that are difficult to categorize. It’s about the ability to build or escape to a world that’s better than the one we live in. This book was excellent and I’m not over these characters yet. I’ll be thinking about them for a while.

If you've read it, what did you think?

That is such a cute dress. I love blue on you.
You should have seen the one tree this year… there was a hilarious owl. I do not even know where it came from, but it was huge and its eyes followed you everywhere.
And there may have been one foot bows as well.
In my opinion, hot mess trees are the very best kind. And I think we own the same tights. Because we are awesome.
