ALEXA CHUNG: 'IT' REVIEW

IT

My obsession with Alexa Chung has no limits. So a few weeks ago I purchased her book 'IT' from Urban Outfitters, and was instantly addicted. It's a breath of fresh air for any die hard Alexa fan, or any fashion fan too. This book is definitely one of my all time favourite reads. It starts of like a personal diary of a 12 year old. Alexa shares all the hidden details of her life in a captivating and enchanting way, talking about her early tastes in music and clothes. A lot of the book consists of pictures, which all look amazing and break down the text, as well as delicate little doodles of faces or flowers. From fashion, hair&beauty tips, opinions on her first modelling picture at the age of sixteen, thoughts on lipsticks and haircuts, and discussing her idols including Kate Moss and Karl Lagerfeld, this little pink book's got everything. 

I like to think of the book as a journal of her thoughts and pictures that her sixteen year old self would have wrote down or stuck above her bed for inspiration. Or I suppose you could think of it as a Pinterest board of things from different times of her life with Instagram pictures. My favourite line from the book? Without a doubt would be "I have to start putting my nail varnishes in the fridge to keep them nice, but now there's nowhere to keep the butter" purely because it inspired me to try it myself, and made me laugh. I highly recommend reading IT, as it was fascinating to read, and all of the pictures are completely gorgeous.
