Book Mail: A Roundup of the Book Mail I Received Last Week
“The world belongs to those who read.” — Rick Holland
I want to note that I do not get paid to do these posts, I just love authors and the book industry. However, they do take time and energy to create. If you want to donate a few dollars to my coffee fund, which keeps this blog going, you can do so here: https://venmo.com/AshleyHasty or here: http://paypal.me/hastybooklist.
The 2021 Nobilo Icon Sauvignon Blanc is a stunning showcase of New Zealand’s Marlborough region, offering a beautifully complex balance of citrus zest, ripe tropical fruit, and subtle flinty minerality. The vibrant notes of passion fruit and white flowers create a layered, refreshing palate that is both lively and elegant. This concentration of flavors leads seamlessly into a crisp, lingering finish, making every sip a delight. Perfectly suited for pairing with seafood, it shines alongside freshly prepared oysters, prawn and lemon skewers, or steamed mussels. This Sauvignon Blanc is a sophisticated yet approachable wine that elevates any dining experience.
What I Wore:
Similar Tank | Similar Cardigan | Similar Jeans | Similar Boots | Similar Hoops | Necklace | Makeup
Wearing a red tank top layered under a classic black cardigan, she strikes the perfect balance between festive and effortlessly cool. The black skinny jeans, with their sleek stripe down the side, elongate her silhouette, while black boots ground the look with a touch of edge. Gold hoop earrings and a delicate gold necklace add just the right amount of sparkle, catching the light like twinkling holiday decorations. As she sips on a crisp glass of sauvignon blanc, its refreshing notes perfectly complement the moment, she feels like the main character in her own holiday season—poised, confident, and glowing with understated elegance as she moves through the magic of winter celebrations.
