IT

Yesterday I received my copy of 'It' by Alexa Chung in the mail. I finally managed to find some time to sit down, drink a hot chocolate (cross legged on my pillow covered bed) and begin to read the one of the most talked about books over the past couple of weeks. 

I read it in an hour and a half. Delicately turning each page over at a time, admiring every photograph and drawing. The structure of the book was a bit over the place but it didn't matter because it was organsied and neatly presented. But hey, that is what scrapbooks are like! The font was nice and simple with a great arrangement of photographs and her creative drawings.

I liked how it was a dose of little stories, make up/choosing an outfit tips or her personal style icons (etc) with minimal text. However I do understand where some critics and SOME poor reviews are coming from but she's obviously not going to be the next F. Scott Fitzgerald or queen of literature, just yet. She was clear in stating it was a journal type book. Nothing too formal. I do love it. I love her her sense of humour definitely comes through her writing. I am a huge fan of Alexa Chung and her as a style icon as many other girls in the world are too. So as soon as I heard she was writing a book I instantly fell in love with it. I love that it can sit on my book shelf and every now and then I can dip in and out of it.

(I wish I could have been able to go to Liberty's in London for the book signing and meet her. Ugh one day.)
