About this deal

There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

I liked some of it, the pictures were nice, and Alexa is witty and was able to keep your attention, but keep it on what? For the record, Chung includes Mick Jagger, The Beatles, Anna Karina and Edie Sedgwick as some of her style icons.I’m very glad I did not spend 30 dollars of my hard earned babysitting money bc this was a bunch of nothing! While a lot of young fashion is geared towards flashing flash, Chung's style isn't really about that. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I only took this out of the library because I've heard several times that it's absolutely terrible, and I was curious. It is truly valuable utilising text and image as a mechanism to convey meaning and create a piece of work that can be in service of others. My tip is to get someone to phone Chanel and get them to send over a selection of their latest collection. It may indeed be quite pointless, but there's nothing wrong with that now and again, and if I'm reading a style book by a celebrity then I don't want it to be challenging anyway.It is a reflection of who she is as a normal girl who just so happens to be an oft-Tumbl'd style icon. There's the French novel I mentioned in the Clothes Pegs post - Lucy Clairin's Journal d'un mannequin (1937), although my French isn't up to that! I pack them in my hand luggage when I travel because I fear that one day we will be separated and I will be forced to go out bottomless forevermore because no other shorts will ever be able to replace them. I get the sense though that whatever your opinion of the book itself, it very much reflects Miss Chung.

That is another aspect that adds up to Alexa´s relevance within today´s “cool”- she aligned with the candid and analogue visual elements that have come back today to become the aspirational aesthetic within some Internet communities. Fashion muse, model, Fuse News cohost, and British “it girl” Chung’s first book is heavy on style and charm but light on substance. I will keep my eyes open and let you know if I unearth anything - I'd be really grateful if you could pop back and let me know if you find anything too :) Good luck! The things deemed worthy of being stand alone in huge italicized center aligned letters make no sense lol.So of course in a drunken haze (it was Fashion Week) I barrelled over to her and just straight up asked her how she got over Mick Jagger. Elsewhere: there are thoughts on haircuts, lipsticks, "selfies", as well as sartorial advice (apparently you should look in the mirror when you get dressed – who knew? I thought going into this that it was going to sound semi-pretentious, but I - for the most part - really liked Alexa Chung’s writing voice.

Another similar moment is when Chung reflects on hairstyles, and their potential effect on men: “Boys say they don’t mind how you get your hair done. The recipient of numerous style awards, Alexa has won the prestigious British Style Award (voted for by the public) three years in a row.

some shameless schmoozing of US Vogue editor Anna Wintour and designer Karl Lagerfeld (in future, it might be best to keep the sycophantic air-kissing to herself); and an unexpected full frontal shot of what one presumes is the author (careful, Ms Chung, or your fanbase might spiral in a disturbing direction). There's no rhyme or reason to the arrangement of the paragraphs or quotes or photos beyond an overall aesthetic. Despite Chung´s name was well-known amongst designers, Chung elevated her persona when her iconic curation of obsessions disguised as a memoir conceived IT, becoming an overnight sensation amongst Tumblr users and fashion gurus. It is a combination of irreverent commentary, fashion advice, photography and illustrations, mixed with autobiographical anecdotes. Although I wasn't impressed with this book, at least it was a super quick read that helped me catch up on my Reading Challenge before the year ends.
