Some summer time reading

Sadly I'm not venturing to a sunny far away country this year, so there goes relaxing by the pool with a book or scooting around a foreign island on the back of a Vespa (oh Ibiza I miss you). Instead I'll be relaxing in the garden with a selection of books I picked up at my local library (you readers know how much I love the library) and a large glass of homemade lemonade. 

I've been reading The Sartorialist blog for a few years and was very happy to find a copy of his first book 'The Sartorialist' by Scott Schuman in my local library. The book has an amazing selection of street style photos, each capturing your eye in their own way whether it be an amazing hair colour, a gorgeous pair of shoes or just a beautiful smile.
I also picked up a classic 'Emma' by Jane Austin, I'm only a few pages in but the old style English language is so romantic. 
Since seeing Grace Kelly in Alfred Hitchcock's 'Rear Window' I've loved her and I can't wait to read this biography True Grace by 'Wendy Leigh'. The book is filled with photos and words from Grace's life, from becoming a movie star to the Princess of Monaco.

For the rest of the summer I will be working, preparing for university and looking forward to drinking cider and partying at Leeds Festival in late August. Oh and my birthday...yippee!!
