Lately I'm Obsessed With...

...finding the perfect white blazer

It wouldn't be a day in the life of AMO without a shopping panic. The latest one, finding the perfect white blazer, is an offshoot of the great "black and white panic of 2021."

Being ever the scientist, I did my internet research and rounded up some of my favorite white blazers. 

I am on the waitlist for this one, you should be too. 
White Zara Blazer
I love love love the texture on this blazer. 
Cinq a Sept White Blazer
For those of us in warmer climates, this linen one is a great option (and it's on sale, too!)

Not a blazer but she's chic AF so she stays. I am also on this waiting list. 
I love Veronica Beard blazers. I have two and the fit is fab.

...Bridging Bridgerton Gap

Do you find yourself saying "make haste" or wondering whether a certain gentleman is "a rake" in the eyes of "the ton"?

If so, you might be exhibiting signs of Bridgerton withdrawal. Here are some novels to help get you through until the second season of Bridgerton blesses us all. 

Since starting this addiction in 2020, I have made no secret of my obsession with romance novels. I needed a complete escape from the news of the day, and jumped into this vortex that I have yet to emerge from. 

I have had dalliances with several genres: Scottish romance novels, pirate romance novels, medieval romance novels, to name a few. I am now fully ensconced in Regency-era romance novels à la Bridgerton. 

If you miss Bridgerton*, here are two series which I think you will love:

They have it all: characters who despise each other then fall madly in love, plenty of balls with punch and gossip, excellent *intimate* scenes, and happy endings (literally no pun intended there.) 

As always, I would love to hear your thoughts! Happy reading. 

*(I should note, the Bridgerton TV series is based on a series of books, so you can always start there! I have only read the second Bridgerton novel, so I will finish that series before I discuss.)
