Summertime

This is a simple outfit, comprised of only a thin cotton tee with a bandeau underneath, a pair of classic denim shorts and white Converse, with a Jacques de Manoir pastel blue wrap watch as an accent. It's incredibly comfortable and good for hot summer days.

Perks of Being a Wallflower (book review)

Book Review

Rating: 5/5 (one of my favourite books)
Summary: Charlie is an incoming freshman, mature for his age, and an introvert. His best, and only, friend Michael committed suicide the previous year, which he is trying to cope with. At the beginning of the school year he is taken under the wing of two seniors who introduce him to a social world many teenagers are used to. First drinks, first kisses, first love. The book follows Charlie as he finds his friends and a social circle that accepts and appreciates him, as he works through his own problems and sees the problems of others. He sees things and he understands. He is a Wallflower.
Review: I absolutely adore this book. It is one of my favourite, if not my favourite, book. Stephen Chbosky captured Charlie's character perfectly, balancing the teenage boy in him with the damaged introvert. He touched on a lot of heavy topics in the book, including abuse in relationships and abortion among others. Don't let there scare you away. He doesn't over-do any of the topics and handles them very deftly. Despite the content, he doesn't send the book spiralling into a soap-opera style drama. I remember reading somewhere that Stephen Chbosky said he wants to show teenagers that there's a light at the end of the tunnel, that they're not alone, and I can honestly say that for me, he did that. I think this book is a triumph in young adult literature and every teenager, who is mature enough to handle the book, should definitely read it.

I'll be the pimp for your sadness. We'll make a fortune.

Hey guys, so this is my first blog post. In the future be expecting more outfits (like this), photography and reviews (music, movies, books). I'm not really sure what else to say right now... 
These photos were taken a few weeks ago, back when there was still sun. Now it's dark when I wake up and dark soon after I get home so getting good photographs is more difficult - but I promise, I'll do my best to be a regular poster.
