all photos either taken by Alex, myself, or in the photobooth
Last week, Alex was in town and we went to a couple fun events together! First up was the Steve Madden Cabaret Party with Keiko Lynn. I was feeling really tired that day and almost didn’t go, but I’m so glad that Alex convinced me to come out because I had so much fun! Keiko’s blog was one of the very first that I started reading/following and I think she has amazing style, so it was really cool to meet her in person! Keiko was so very sweet and greeted us right when we arrived at the party and made sure we felt welcome- what a great host! Alex, her friend Shivani, and I had a great time sipping cocktails, getting our makeup done, and of course, hamming it up in front of the photobooth! Alex and I have decided that it isn’t really a party without a photobooth; seriously, it is so much fun to grab all of the props and go crazy taking pictures! ;)
Check back later in the week to hear more about the other event Alex and I went to! :)
![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.]
