Fall weddings? Gorgeous. But your outfit shouldn’t look like you rolled out of a hay bale or a candle aisle at Bath & Body Works. These 19 dresses strike the perfect balance—elegant enough for “I do,” cozy enough for apple cider, and stylish enough that you’ll actually want to wear them again (unlike that bridesmaid dress from 2012).
Love to read? Me too! Here are my favorite Colleen Hoover books with info about each book. I do include “spoiler note” on one that I feel does need a warning.

Though I personally just call it home, the Caribbean island of Jamaica is one of the most popular tropical vacation spots on this side of the Atlantic. There is a valid reason why. Apart from being the land that bore the world the likes of Bob Marley and Usain Bolt, it is popularly featured on many a bucket list because of its powdery sand beaches and its vibrant culture that non-natives can easily immerse themselves in and resurface for the journey home with awesome memories for a lifetime. Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril are the most popular locations for vacationing. These two micro cities and a tranquil town are located along the island’s western seaboard and can be experienced in a quick weekend getaway or a week-long vacation. If your starting point is Montego Bay (my home-base and ‘MoBay’ to locals), facing the sea, you can go right to Ocho Rios in 2 hours and go left to Negril in the same amount of time. There is a wide variety of things to do and see for every variation of interest in either direction. Here is a list of the most popular attractions and lesser known gems that you can put on your to-do list when you drop by to say hi!.
