From your favorite English teacher and book girl, I’ve got the best gift recs for book lovers! This of course includes plenty of - you guessed it - books! But also fun accessories and bookish things 💕

Pop any of these onto a neutral outfit for a colorful accent piece! Or do as I do—power clash colors to go full maximalism.

I’m a perfume addict! I love to try new scents all the time but my signatures tend to be a little musky, clean, with hints of citrus/earth. Here are my recs and when I use them!!

Feel like you’re in a luxurious country estate touched by a chic interior designer with an eye for antiques and intricate fabrics — these pieces bring warmth, personality, and class to a space. All within a teachers budget (the most I can afford of the English countryside is a copy of Pride and Prejudice :))

If there’s a healthy version of screen time, I think these apps do it! They connect me with art, beauty, introspection, mindfulness, puzzling, and so many things that make life sweet.

I teach middle schoolers reading and writing all day long. The new young adult and middle grade lit coming out these days is a delightful blend of coming of age and the current issues facing kids. These books are easy reads that will build your empathy and bring some innocence back to your adult heart. Moms of teens and tweens, take note!

Charleston can turn into a congested tourist trap quickly without the right recs! Let me help you experience a bespoke, authentic, and unique Charleston like the one you’ve read about in romance books. All these places and spaces are full of southern charm and easy going atmospheres!

A mixture of Halloween home pieces that have the perfect vintage vibe with some avant- garde twists to keep the holiday’s eclectic magic brewing 🧙‍♀️ ✨ these picks do the work of seamlessly blending with cottage core interior design aesthetics!

Chic, warm pieces and items to create some cozy magic in your interior design choices. Cottage core if a garden witch lives in the cottage ✨

These shops guarantee daily originality in my outfits! These stores keep it funky, feminine, and help me mix up the abundance of Madewell staples in my closet :)

Easy on the skin and the schedule — these items make me feel both fresh and glam with low effort.
