I have recently started collecting more books about Fashion, anything from design to history, mainly because whilst studying it I wanted to learn about every aspect of it. Plus I could read about it all day. My sister bought me 'How to dress Parisian' for my birthday, which was funny as she didn't even know that I wanted it (always the best surprises). Its basically about what it says in the title, but has a fantastic humorous twist to it that I least expected and from what I've read so far, its quite amusing.
My most favourite book I have ever and will ever own to this day is Jane Eyre. I got my first copy when I was in sixth form, I was recommended by a friend and I honestly loved every minute of it. I also learnt a whole new set of words that I had never heard of and I was fascinated by the vocabulary that the Bronte sisters used and have never read anything remotely similar since. The story of Jane Eyre is so beautiful and she is such a strong character, for any of you who haven't read it, I suggest you do! And if you want a keepsake one, I was kindly bought the most gorgeous copy! You can get it here.

A few years ago I saw in Waterstones (the best place ever to buy books) a beautifully illustrated collection of the Alice In Wonderland stories. I knew I just had to have it. Alice In Wonderland is one of my favourite Disney films and I realised that I had never actually read the books, where the best kinds of imagination are used. I wanted this ti be another keepsake and funnily enough it's still sitting there on my shelf unread, because quite frankly I think its too pretty to touch! No I will of course read them eventually or just look at the lovely pictures like we used to when we were younger. What innocent and simple lives we used to live. I didn't even realise that they still sold it, but YAY they do!
