We can all agree that the week after Labor Day is no fun, right? Even when you’re looking forward to fall, you have to acknowledge that summer is winding down and summer Fridays are over. However, there are some exciting things on the horizon to distract from the end-of-summer blues, including NYFW (which started yesterday) and my sister’s visit in a few weeks (tickets are finally booked- hooray!).
I think I’ll be having a pretty low-key fashion week, which sounds good to me. At the moment, I just have a couple parties I’m planning to attend and I’m hoping to catch up with a few friends who are in town. I’ll definitely be refreshing my favorite fashion sites for pictures from the runway and sharing looks I like on twitter. In honor of NYFW, I’ll leave you with today’s links:
– Racked absolutely nailed it with this post: What Your Twitter Feed Looks Like Because #FashionWeek.
– Bill Cunningham gave a talk at the 92nd Street Y earlier in the week and he continues to be a delight. I kind of want to rewatch his documentary now.
– The Cut does this every season and I love it: 190 Designers Reveal Their Spring 2015 Inspirations.
– Fashionista editors discuss their fashion week essentials.
– The Fug Girls are my fave and I always look forward to their fashion week recaps.
– The New York Times has an awesome new interactive page with live updates from fashion week.
![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??
