This book white elephant looks so fun! Bookmarking for a Fall party idea.

Also, co-sign that everyone should buy The Christmas Orphans Club. It was one of my (very rare) 5-star reads last winter!

My book club does a book white elephant for our Christmas party each year - I look forward to it for months!

Leopard is a neutral in my opinion, and never goes out of style. Those AYR pants look amazing!

I know right re: pants! I'm very tempted, but not quite in full cold weather shopping mode yet.

The AYR catalog came the other day and they had those pants styled with a crisp blue button down and i snapped a photo for inspiration but didn’t see myself actually buying the pants. However now that I’ve seen all these styling ideas i may just have to buy them! Thanks for the fun ideas

Thanks for sharing! I love the white elephant idea for holiday festivities. I'm curious, what was the description for Snoop Dogg's cookbook?

You know, I have no idea! I tried zooming in on the image but can't figure out which it was (or maybe got added after the pic!).

Thank you! I thought it was funny because I've had this book on my radar as a gift for someone special.

Would love to read your book. I enjoy your Substack so much. But the book $11.99. Didn’t see your post until this morning at 6:15. I’ll buy it anyway! Thanks for all you share!

Did you color your hair? It looks so pretty and shiny in the martini photo!

I got a gloss in June, but I think it really only lasts a month-ish (getting another next week). I think it's just good golden hour lighting! But thank you for the compliment regardless!
