Aztec Open Knit Cardigan // Dark Indigo Jeggings // Long Sleeve Jersey Top
Cranium // Throw // Weekend Mug (any Downton Abbey fans out there get this one?!)
This weekend I’m taking a trip to the Poconos with a group of friends and I’m really excited! It’s really only the second time I’ve taken a weekend trip since I moved to NYC more than a year ago and I’m looking forward to getting away for a bit. We’ve rented a house for the weekend and I’m planning to spend the entire time relaxing. I’m envisioning some warm beverages by the fire, rowdy rounds of our favorite board games, and curling up with my current read on the couch.
Tell me: What are your plans for the long weekend?
![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?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Is it a long weekend? I was completely unaware, lol. I LOVE that mug. This is a darling outfit you put together. Hope you have fun!
Thanks Jenmarie! I agree, that mug is so great and I laughed so hard at that comment in Downton Abbey!
The Aztec cardigan looks really snuggly :) Enjoy your long weekend :) Mine is just a normal weekend but the Aussie open is here so will be watching a lot of tennis and possibly playing some too :)

Thank you Kat! The Aussie open sounds really fun! I enjoy watching and playing tennis- not that I’m any good!
OOO have fun in the Poconos! I use to go all the time when I was a kid. I love the set esp. the cardigan. I just saw this cardi (or something very similar) to it on Fake Leather’s blog. Love it!
I’m so excited for the long weekend. We are wrapping up looking at wedding venues this weekend! EEE!!! SO EXCITED! Plus getting my hair done, I’ve been putting it off for way to long.
