Over the weekend, a friend posted this status on Facebook- “Leather. Jacket. Weather.” You know- when it’s cool enough that you need a jacket, but not so cold that you need a winter coat? And she was right; it was really nice out on Saturday and Sunday, many degrees warmer than it has been in recent memory. I was outside for a bit on Saturday; the sun was shining and the snow was melting and it really did feel like the beginning of spring. I shouldn’t get my hopes up though- I know the temperature’s supposed to drop back to freezing tomorrow. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted!

![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?

It was sunny and warm back here too! But I hear it will be freezing again soon and then in April hopefully Spring will be here properly :)
You look lovely as per usual

Thank you so much! I can’t wait until spring is here to stay!
Your sweater and leggings were perfect for the awesome weather over the weekend. Love that bag too. The weather over the weekend made me so happy even if it was fleeting!
Thanks so much Shenneth! Yes, it was a nice little break from all the snow/cold.
I seriously can’t wait until “leather jacket weather” is here to stay. I felt like this weekend was such a tease and don’t look forward to more snow. Cute simple chic look btw!
