Cozy Fall Style + My Monthly Book Club Announcement!

Happy Monday, everyone!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend, and are feeling inspired and refreshed for the week!!

I am SO excited to officially announce my monthly book club, because this is something I have been excited about for quite a while now!!  The book that I chose for October is The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur, the best-selling author of Milk & Honey!  This is her (much anticipated) second collection of poetry, which is described as “a vibrant and transcendent journey about growth and healing, ancestry and honoring one’s roots, expatriation + rising up to find home within yourself”.  The book, similar to Milk & Honey, is dividing into chapters; it is a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming for a celebration of love in all forms!  If you are currently reading, or are aspiring to read, The Sun and Her Flowers and would like to be a part of this month’s book club, please email me (simplytessco@gmail.com) or send me a Direct Message on Instagram (@tessa_noelle)! 🙂 

At the beginning of each month, I will share a new book which will be the book of the month! At the end of each month, I will share a post all about everyone’s interpretation of the book, featuring favorite pages/quotes, and what resonated with them the most! I cannot wait to get started!! 

So, onto the fashion section of this post!! I wore the same chambray shirt and the same tan suede booties from my Autumn Layers post, and I layered a cozy brown sweater with my favorite pair of black jeans!  There’s nothing better than spending a chilly, rainy day exploring book stores with your fiancé, and this was the perfect outfit to do so!!

Also! Before you go! Check out my newest video on my YouTube channel!! I could not stop laughing during this entire video, it’s definitely one of my favorites!!

    There’s nothing better than cracking open a new book when the weather gets a little chillier!

    The pics on this post says “hello, fall- i’m so glad you are here!” A monthly book club will be so fun! I’m like the slowest reader ever though. Still trying to finish “Girl in Cabin #10” that I started in August. Maybe for 2018 I will resolve to read more 🙂

    Yes to a chilly day spent with a book, and I love how different the shirt and boots look with this combo- I did not even realize they were the same!
    I am not a big poetry reader, but I have heard about Milk & Honey; you make me want to learn more, but I am scarred from reading poetry books in high schools and being LOST.

    Great post!

    I love writing articles as it is a way of expressing and giving value of things in mind. And your article just made me feel happy to see people just like you, who loves to read as nowadays they are only relaying-on visual .
