Classic black long sleeve mini dress for fall and winter.

This photo captures an elegant, high-glamour moment with a dreamy, editorial twist. You’re wearing a little black mini dress that perfectly embodies quiet luxury: long-sleeved with subtle flare cuffs, a high neckline, and a figure-flattering silhouette that feels both sophisticated and alluring. The smooth black fabric contrasts beautifully with your sheer black tights, creating a timeless monochrome look that’s elevated yet effortless.

Your hair is styled in soft, voluminous waves, and your makeup glows with romantic warmth—rosy blush, fluttery lashes, and a soft pink lip that enhances the champagne-lit ambiance. You’re holding a coupe glass, which adds a vintage touch of old-Hollywood glamour, while the artistic collage effect and golden sparkle accents give the photo a whimsical, surreal charm—as if multiple versions of you exist in the same luxurious evening.

Overall, the image conveys:
✨ Modern elegance with a vintage muse.
✨ A minimalist black dress reimagined for the golden-hour soirée.
✨ Feminine sophistication meets playful editorial fantasy.

Beautiful faux roses to add a romantic feeling to any corner of your house!

Lifelike Realism That Fools the Eye – Crafted with high-grade silk fabric and hand-painted petal details, our artificial roses mimic the soft texture, natural color gradient (from blush pink to creamy edges), and subtle vein patterns of fresh roses. Even up close, the lifelike bloom shape and flexible green stem (with tiny thorns!) make them indistinguishable from real flowers.
Durable & Fade-Resistant for Year-Round Beauty – Made with premium silk and sturdy plastic stems, these fake roses resist fading, wilting, or crumbling—even in sunlight or humid environments. Unlike fresh flowers that wilt in days, ours stay vibrant for years, saving you time and money on constant replacements.
Versatile Decor for Every Occasion – Perfect for weddings (bridesmaid bouquets, table centerpieces, aisle decor), home styling (vase arrangements in living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways), parties (birthday, baby shower, anniversary), or heartfelt gifts (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day). Mix with greenery or other blooms for custom designs!
Zero Maintenance, Maximum Convenience – No watering, pruning, or worrying about pollen allergies! These artificial roses stay “fresh” 24/7. The flexible stems are easy to bend, trim, or arrange into any shape—ideal for DIY craft projects or quick decor updates.
Secure Bulk Packaging for Gifting & Storage – Each rose comes individually wrapped in soft tissue to prevent crushing. Available in 10-Pack (ideal for small decor) or 50-Pack (perfect for bulk events/weddings). The sleek box makes it a ready-to-gift present for plant lovers or busy decorators.

Stone’s Throw State Park Ranger Maudy Lorso spends her days playing cards and sipping drinks with her millennial gal pals, hiking steep sand dunes with her scruffy dog, Martin Short, and trying to ignore the pain of a recent, devastating breakup. After building a quiet life in the Lake Michigan coastal village of Stone’s Throw, Maudy’s emotional safety net is turned inside out when her boss informs her of looming budget cuts that threaten to permanently close the park—and eliminate her job. Determined to prove the park’s value, Maudy throws herself into organizing a successful campground opening weekend, just one week away. But when the body of a missing tourist is discovered in the park, her hope of saving Stone’s Throw State Park quickly begins to fade. In order to save her dream job and maintain her quirky, quiet life, Maudy jumps in to solve the murder of the dead man.

The sexy, action-packed first book in the #1 bestselling Court of Thorns and Roses series from global phenomenon Sarah J. Maas.

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.

At least, he's not a beast all the time.

As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin-and his world-forever.

From bestselling author Sarah J. Maas comes a seductive, breathtaking book that blends romance, adventure, and faerie lore into an unforgettable read.

Amid clouds and bones by Ella Fields

A princess determined to survive an arranged marriage to a heartless faerie prince is saved by a twist of fate that could destroy their world in this all-new standalone fantasy romance.

As the half faerie daughter of a human king, my days were spent tucked out of sight—until the Seelie Fae sought an alliance with our kingdom. In exchange for my father’s help in defeating their Unseelie enemies, I would wed Atakan the heartless.

The Seelie prince loathed everyone, but none more than me. Throughout the years leading to our nuptials, each encounter grew more terrifying than the last as he demonstrated how he’d earned his infamous reputation.

Fear would only doom me faster. So I learned to hide it with games I soon became happy to play. I wasn’t supposed to crave a monster. But just when I’d thought I might tame the untameable, fate intervened.

And delivered me straight to his enemy. #booktok #bookstagram #romamtasy
