Let's Get A Drink Sometime

I've always loved and looked forward to the witty posts from the Man Repeller and so to find that Leandra Medine had wrote a book meant that I willingly scraped together the last bit of my wages to purchase it. Thank god I did.

Although she openly describes her hatred for being compared to Carrie Bradshaw she really is the living, breathing her (with a hint of Bridget jones). When I say I couldn't put this book down I honestly mean it, you can see my unfinished essays as proof of that.

Focusing each chapter around a particular piece of clothing or accessory accompanied by funny anecodotes this is ideal for anyone that loves fashion and a bit of (anti?) romance.

Let's give them something to talk about

The sun was B E A uuuuuutiful today just in time for rest day. I've just started Jack Kerouac's Wake Up which is based on the story of the Buddha and forming Buddhism today. I love both the author and the subject so I'm sure I'll enjoy it but even the little bit that I've read, the style of writing has me hooked.

A new app I would HIGHLY recommend is ASAP54 which can help you find clothes that you see in pictures (or similar ones, it rarely finds the exact match unless it's designer) it's exceptionally good for if you're looking for specific colours ie if you're looking for a matching outfit 

I've also found some inspirational pictures of clothes that I would love to get including these beauties 

Dark Paradise

It's come to that time of the year when all my make up is starting to run out.

 I have still stuck with my bare minerals foundation due to it being not only a good cover up but also doesn't contain any nasty ingredients so that I can wear it without feeling as if it will do damage to my skin.

 

I also invested in some Bobbi Brown make up including the long lasting pencil in jet and 2 Lip Colors which are Orange and Old Hollywood. The pencil can be applied very easily as it is almost like a pen (and take this from someone who can't normally apply eyeliner very evenly) and the Lip Colors are rich and creamy to apply. 

Lastly, this last week I have been reading Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy and Attention.Deficit.Disorder. by Brad Listi. 

I enjoyed both books however they are both very different. Tess of the D'Urbervilles was more challenging to read but the storyline kept me gripped as at first glance it does appear very long and may put off some people. However if you enjoy love stories along with betrayal and murder then I would strongly recommend this book. 

Attention.Deficit.Disorder was an easier read partly due to the short chapters and due to the language used as it is in the perspective of the protagonist, Wayne Fencer. It follows Wayne on his travels due to his ex-girlfriend's suicide and becoming aware that she was pregnant with his child. It is almost like a male version of Eat,Pray,Love so if you are looking for an easier read with a more hard-hitting storyline then this is for you. 

The Secret

I know this is seeming more like a book review blog these days rather than a style one but this next book is literally for everyone even those who aren't maybe that big on reading:

I will be the first one to tell you that I'm not the most confident of people and I've been recommended this so many times I thought I might as well give it a go, it's called The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.

It's such a good book for anyone who feels insecure, is going through a bad break up or family issues etc. which is why it is suitable for so many people as any problem you have can be used for this book. 

The style blog will be back soon, once my bank account has been refilled!
