The constant rain and severe flooding in my hometown have been dampening my Christmas spirit. On the bright side, most of my friends are back in town so I’ve been able to hang out with them. Here’s what I wore for a meet-up with one of my good friends:
 |
| cardigan, black lace cami (undernath), pants- forever 21, lace tee- charlotte russe, necklace- RenneLoughlin on etsy, boots- GoJane |
I’ve finally finished all my Christmas shopping (yay!) and now I just have to get all the gifts and cards together and wrap them nicely. Also, I’ve vowed to stay away from the mall because I don’t want to deal with the crowds and I’ve already spent way too much money! What stage are you guys at with your holiday preparations?
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]
