I’m very glad I did not spend 30 dollars of my hard earned babysitting money bc this was a bunch of nothing! A truly one-off collection of Alexa's personal writings, drawings and photographs, It covers everything from her thoughts on life, love and music to her favourite looks and how to decide what to wear in the morning. Well, first off it’s also a kind of unstructured diary that talks about her taste in fashion, music, beauty, and movies. This is such an interesting cultural object lol, I remember when it came out and it was a bit of a hot item (I wasn't interested because I figured that it would probably not be relatable to me, or that it would be vapid). Alexa, if you're reading this, contact me and I will send you an old eyeliner and an Instax Mini photo of a man's legs.

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused.

This was possible because even if the books were humorous and easy-to read, they were tiptoeing on substantial topics.

While that’s true it’s missing the point of this kind of book, which is more a Tumblr-made-print than an autobiography. The sense that some people deem it OK, even laudable, publicly to attack very thin people in a way they wouldn't dare to deride, for instance, the obese. If this wasn't written by one of the most famous models of all time it would most likely have terrible reviews.Celia Bertin's 1957 Paris a la Mode goes behind the scenes at the Parisian couture house and includes a chapter on mannequins but again not from a model's perspective. A pop-art take on a memoir, a fashionista coffee-table book, or just a bit of fun – a brazen cash-in by an enterprising young style icon?

My goods came wrapped in an Urban Outfitters bright red felt bag that I opened at 7:50 before my 8:15 Monday class in year twelve. I'm confused as to what exactly this book is supposed to be, considering it feels like random ramblings about stuff Chung likes and collages of pictures she (I guess?That is what makes it an interesting text to revisit now, precisely ten years after its release (Where did time go? The model/Fuse News co-host not only won the British Style Award in 2011, 2012, and 2013; he also frequently graces the covers of Vogue, Elle, and Harper Bizarre.
