Hey dolls! The theme for this week’s Twinsie Tuesdsay was to be inspired by a book. I decided to take the easy way out by drawing inspiration from the book I’m currently reading, Instinct: The Power to Unleash Your Inborn Drive by T.D. Jakes.

This collection features seven shades that were inspired by Ji’s recent obsession with Korean dramas. I’ve never seen any of the Korean dramas, but Ji’s trailer reminds me of the American soaps.
