On Amazon sale today! This is a lovey memoir that I‘d highly recommend to anyone with an interest in light non-fiction, vintage clothing, New York City or fashion in general (and for $1.99, it‘s a complete steal!!). 😊😊😊

Sometimes I agonise for ages over how to style a photo and then suddenly I'm like duhhhhh. Maybe use a pink vintage dress as the background, to match the illustration? So obvious. Back to the book, I really enjoyed this! I was expecting pure shopping fluff but it featured some really moving and interesting anecdotes about the author's family, business, and former life as a model. If you like reading about #clothes I very much recommend this.

On to my second book of the day and I am enjoying this so much! I love books about clothes and this one fits my mood perfectly - not as intellectual as some of the clothes-books in my collection, but still full of moving anecdotes. #nonfiction #memoir #clothes #style
