Book Review



This chic book by Harriet Evans is about a 22 year old girl who lives in London . She just graduated from college and landed a fantastic magazine job. As her life falls perfectly together - falling in love with her flatmate, a job promotion, a new flat, and an engagement - she gets too comfortable and she starts to look past things that start happening in her warm and cozy life. Uncontrollable events change her world untill she decides to stop running to New York and faces her old life back home in London.
For Alice and Wonderland Fans this movie illustrated version is a great collectable item.



My Favorite Spring Accessory


 
Michael Kors leather wristlets
These, by far, are the most exciting things for me this spring. I purchased the black wristlet last summer and have been loving it since. They retail for $148.00 at Macy's but I got mine for sale because Macy's always has great sales. The purple wristlet was recently purchased at Macy's on clearance because they wanted to get rid of it. I paid less than $40, it was a steal!

Wristlets are so convenient and these ones are so durable. My black one has been frequently used and it still looks in peak condition and I imagine it will years from now too. These wristlets are not leaving my collection for a while. If I could get every color I would! They also came in white and gold. They are all genuine leather with a quilt pattern of a matte and shinny leathers overlapping each other. The details of them are fine. The plate on the font reads Michale Kors, established in 1981.

Since I purchased the purple one last week I have been using it instead of a purse. Its taken a load off. They are so petite and accessorize every outfit especially work ones. If I am wearing solid blacks, greys and whites this wristlets gives me a pop of color. It is so springy.

This is what the purple on looks like inside. It has a slot for IDs and folded bills.
