A Guide For The Modern Janeite
Nothing says Summer like a Jane Austen binge fest! Whether you're a fan of the novels or a connoisseur of the film adaptations, we've put together a guide that will have you feeling ready to frolic in a field toward your own Mr. Darcy (and away from Mr. Collins).
This guide in particular takes a sensual approach, and will delight each of your senses as you explore the world of a modern Janeite with us. And as always, we will never suggest products we have not tried out yet or are not already fans of. We keep it genuine here, nothing is sponsored.
Lots of love from your friends here at L&F, and enjoy this romantic Summer!
