Books I'm Reading (Or Plan to Read)

So, I'm not going to lie. I just spent the last few months reading the entire series of True Blood. And I loved it! Now I want to dive into reading new books. These are the ones I have set aside to read, if I remember, I'll do a review!



So, this book was suggested by a friend. Despite it's cheerful cover, apparently it isn't so sweet! It's based in Manhattan's dark underbelly, with a surreal and shocking world has alter egos and is basically a tragic romantic comedy. Sounds like my cup of tea!





Chuck Palahnuik is one of my favourite authors! I first read Survive and it was one of the best books I've read. I'm sure this one will be too! It's based on the life of Busy Casey, one of the worlds most famous serial killers.



I'm not too sure what this book is about. The only reason I want to read it is because the trailer for the movie looks really good! It was one of Angelina Jolies indie movies she did in the 90's. (Like Hacker, I LOVE that movie!)


I am not myself these days: A Memoir , by Josh Kilmer-Purcell.
Rant: The Oral Biography of Busty Casey, by Chucl Palahniuk
Girl, Interrupted. by Susanna Kaysen,

Things I'm loving: Coral and aqua combo

I've been really digging the colour combination of coral and aqua! Or teal or turquoise.  I'm not a pink person generally. But I love it!


These simple aqua and coral centerpieces made a beautiful statement at this bride and groom's wedding at Wildwood. #aqua #centerpiece #coral #flowers #wedding #reception

DIY Roundup: heels

I was never a heel girl, I wore Doc Martens to all weddings and dates until my graduation prom where I bought my first pair and immediately regretted not have buying them soon. Now I try to make up excuses just to wear them,

Like most girls, I have a lot of simple heels. After doing a little digging I found some AMAZING upgrades that I will be doing to all my schools. These are even good for boots!


THIS tutorial is so easy! Plus it's really cheap to do. I have a lot of simple heels that could use a little pop like this.

This diy takes a simply pair of heels and turns them into a stylish punk pair! I love them.



 this DIY is the most crazy one! They're like chandelier heels! I'm not sure If I hate them or love them.



I'm not a big bling sort of gal, but This diy is so lovely, it adds enough stones to make a statement, without being overwhelming!


Are you going to be upgrading your heel collection? I will be!
