{Woman Crush Wednesday} Rainbow Rowell

~ Taylor Justine ~ 1 Comment

GUYS, I’m really excited for this new series! As some of you might know, I’m a social media coordinator at an agency in LA, so in true social-obsessed fashion, I took some cues from trending topics and decided to create a Woman Crush Wednesday/Man Crush Monday series. We’re kicking it off today!

I give this lady a lot of love on Novels and Nail Polish, so it’s only right that I should start off this series with none other than… Rainbow Rowell!

Landline by Rainbow Rowell

I’ve now read all of her books, and two have already been inspiration for my manicures. And on top of being an incredible writer, she seems like a funny, down to earth woman (via social media of course).

One thing that makes her stand out from so many other authors is her ability to tell timeless, relatable stories. Whether it’s one of her YA books or an Adult Contemporary, the themes can relate to anyone. She’s the perfect example that YA isn’t just for kids, and it only means the main characters are young, not the lessons and complexity.

Thanks for being an incredible addition to women authors, Rainbow! Happy Reading!

A Fall Fairytale

I have a little story for you today. Picture this…

Once upon a time, a fair maiden lived in the enchanted southern region of California. She longed to see something she’d only heard tell of in her mother’s stories: Autumn. You see, where she lived, there was only one season: warm. But she knew there was a way to make her dream a reality, by making the pilgrimage to the mystical Tree of Fall.

And you know what? She did just that, and there she was rewarded with leaves of scarlet, gold and orange. She was filled with joy and contentment , and she lived happily ever after.

The ‘once upon a time’ of that story was this past weekend, the magical princess is me and the ‘Tree of Fall’ is the ONLY tree on my street that makes it look like November. All I wanted was a few pictures of my new TBR list additions with the pretty fall leaves, but that’s a tall order in SoCal. All of the damn leaves by my house are GREEN, just as the sky is still blue. But I found the perfect tree, which allowed me to take the perfect pictures.
