Did you visit the shop that makes the necklace? They have a whole line based on Zelda. Each design is named after a city she and F. Scott lived in or visited, I can’t remember which.
I am glad you like these posts. I have such fun doing them!

You have no idea how difficult it is to do these shopping guides and not buy everything! I actually bought the red barrette from the previous guide, but other than that I have been really good lately!

I have yet to read The Great Gatsby.

The Great Gatsby is rather polarizing. Don’t believe the hype that it is the best novel ever, and you’ll be fine. It isn’t, but Fitzgerald certainly knew how to write pretty, pretty words.
It is a slim book, though, and a quick read.
