Hey, lovelies! September flew by, and I’ve got some seriously exciting favorites to share with you! From binge-worthy shows to heart-thumping playlists, this month has been all about cozying up with entertainment that sparks joy. So, if you’re ready for a peek at what had me obsessed all September, let’s jump right in!
Binge-Worthy TV: Emily in Paris, Kaos, Rings of Power
Who doesn't love the campiness of Emily in Paris (Netflix)? They released season 4 in two parts with the second half debuting on September 12, 2024. I just couldn't get enough of the fashion nods to Audrey Hepburn and the new bombshell that entered the villa: ✨Marcello✨. We got to see some type of closure with Alfie (absolutely heartbreaking #TeamAlfie) and got a change of scenery when Emily goes to Rome. Overall, I thought the second part gave us more than the first part but I am sooo tired of Gabriel at this point...just me?! 😭
I've been eating up all things Greek Mythology since I was 10 years old. So when I heard that Kaos (Netflix) was going to feature the Greek Gods in a modern day setting, I absolutely geeked out (or gReeked out, if you will). Kaos is a fun, wild twist on Greek mythology! Think gods, drama, and a lot of chaos (pun intended). The show reimagines classic myths with modern vibes, following Zeus, Hades, and other iconic gods, but with fresh new takes that keep things interesting. There’s plenty of power struggles, magical mishaps, and OMG moments as these gods and mortals deal with life’s...well, chaotic twists.
If you're part of the Tolkien Fandom, how could you not love The Rings of Power (Prime Video)? Season 2 is back, and things are getting seriously epic in Middle-earth! Our girl Galadriel is still slaying (literally and fashionably) as she leads the charge against a rising evil. New alliances, deeper mysteries, and some jaw-dropping moments keep the drama and adventure high. Plus, the stunning landscapes and magical vibes? Totally giving fantasy Pinterest board energy. If you’re into powerful queens, glittering swords, and stories that keep you on the edge of your seat, this season is a must-watch!
Style: Trousers, Burgundy
Trousers are totally having their it girl moment right now, and I am here for it! From chic wide-leg styles to tailored high-waisted fits, they’re the perfect blend of comfort and class. I've paired them with crop tees, sneakers, espadrilles, heels...you name it - it'll go with it!
Burgundy is the color of the season! I've been seeing it all over my feed on every platform and have followed suit when updating my closet for the fall! The color is moody but feminine and gives cozy vibes! Think chunky sweaters, pleated skirts, and velvet ribbons!
Current Music Mood: Sabrina Carpenter's Short n Sweet Album
The album officially released on August 23, 2024 and I just don't know how to let it go! Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n Sweet album is exactly what it sounds like—fun, flirty, and full of feel-good vibes! Each track is like a bite-sized pop confection, mixing catchy beats with Sabrina’s signature sass and charm. Whether she’s singing about love, heartbreak, or just living her best life, the album brings a playful, carefree energy that’s perfect for dancing around your room or belting out in the car. It’s the kind of album that makes you feel like the main character in your own movie—short, sweet, and totally irresistible!
Loving Bed Chem and Good Graces 💕
September Page-Turner: All Things Hades & Persephone
What's the greatest love story that is never told as a love story? Hades & Persephone's, of course! I've been gobbling up romantasy books retelling this famous Greek myth and I cannot get enough. They take the classic story of the god of the underworld and the goddess of spring and crank up the heat, delivering sizzling chemistry, forbidden love, and intense power dynamics. These retellings often explore the seductive tension between light and dark, with Persephone’s innocence clashing against Hades’ brooding, dangerous charm. Expect passionate scenes, complex characters, and a captivating journey through mythological realms where love burns hotter than the fires of the underworld!
That’s a wrap on my September obsessions!
Stay fabulous, friends! ✨
