The Hidden Hand

Hello again! Today on Reading Wednesday I’ll be recommending one of my most recent acquisitions: The Hidden Hand. Let’s get started! The Hidden Hand is a book published by Lamplighter; and was written by the same author who wrote Ishmael and Self-Raised (two other novels I’ve posted on here). There are some similarities between the three novels: traveling to distant…

Top 5 Outfits of the Spring

Hello! Today I’ll be showing (in no particular order) my top 5 outfits of the spring, out of the ones I posted here on the blog. Let’s get started! First up we have this outfit (I’ll link to the original post here.) I like this outfit since it’s a good transitioning-from-colder-weather-to-warm-weather combination.

Pride and Prejudice

Hello again! Today on Reading Wednesday I’ll be continuing in the sharing of Jane Austen novels with this one: Pride and Prejudice. Let’s get started! (And I’ll leave a link to the last two I posted here and here.) Pride and Prejudice is probably one of the most popular of Jane Austen’s novels. It follows a portion of the lives…

Polka Dot Maxi Skirt

Hello! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit I wore to church recently, featuring a polka dot maxi skirt. Let’s get started! This outfit was a result of a late-night scrounging around to find something quick and easy to wear for church the next day. I actually like the result! I’ve actually only worn this…
