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!

Things I like: Tacky Aldo Purses

I have a bag problem, I LOVE bags. What I love even more than regular purses is tacky, statement purses. Recently, Aldos came out with a line of statement purses. I love all of them! What's even better is that they are ALL ON SALE! Seriously, I'm pretty sure all of them are now $20-30 . Seriously. I think I might have to buy them all.
This one is was the first one to catch my eye! I can't think of an occasion when I could wear it, but I still want it!

I couldn't see myself wearing this one, but I still think its pretty awesome!
I've been seeing perfume purses around lately, but this one is actually affordable, and by affordable I mean I could buy one with my lunch money.

 


This  candy heart purse is so cute! It comes in pastel yellow and pink as well!!


Which one is your favourite? I think I might get the first one!

***Disclaimer! I was not paid for this ad, I wrote them post simply because I friggen love these purses. They just happen to be all from Aldo. ****

Home Inspiration

If any of you follow me on my Pinterest, you know how crazy my "home" board is. Home boy? These are some pins I've been loving lately, I've really been digging simple space with lots of white, and the occasional bohemian splash, like the tiles in the this bathroom, I NEED it.
