The Wonderful World of Fifi Lapin



hey :)
I wanted to review this cute little fashion book today. So, it’s about a “fashion bunny”; Fifi Lapin. Well, it’s not about her, actually. It’s written by her. Not really, of course. But the real author is unknown. You might know Fifi Lapin from “her” blog: www.fifi-lapin.blogspot.com. But about the book: it’s a cute book with style tips from Fifi Lapin. There are a few chapters; one for every day.




This is the beginning of the chapter “Thursday - Fashion Forward”.




There are also a few pages like this in the book; some quick style tips with cute drawings (again). But though it’s mostly about fashion, there is also a recipe for carrot cupcakes, a tutorial on how to make your own face mask,
something about colorful makeup, tips on how to pose for the camera and more :)
This is about fashion, but I just wanted to mention that there are also some interviews with designers like Anna Sui in it :)




This page is cute, isn’t it?




Let’s get on to my opinion about the book!
I think I made it clear that I think it’s very very cute. I also love the idea of a “stylish bunny”. A fashion bunny doesn’t make any sense, but what I like about it is that it’s not so standard. It’s a creative and original idea. I also love the idea of a chapter a day. And that it’s not only about fashion; that there are recipes (for example) inside too.


To my opinion it’s just a cute (I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned “cute” so many times in one blogpost :)) inspirational book, which is nice to have. It is a little expensive though: $14,95.

hey :)
It’s been a while, since I read this book. But, it occurred to me that I hadn’t written a review yet. So, that’s what I’m doing today! :)



The perks of being a wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky
It’s about Charlie, a freshman in high school, who becomes friends with Patrick and Sam. They are a few years older than Charlie, but Charlie becomes a part of their world anyway and learns about the things they do, which people his age usually don’t.



I found it hard to describe what the book is about, so if you want a better description, you can always Google it :)



It’s not written like a normal book. You read thousands of letters Charlie has written to an almost-random person, “I’m writing to you because she said you listen and understand (…)” is the first sentence of The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. So he doesn’t know him/her, but he hasn’t really picked a random person either. In the letters he tells him/her about what happened.



So, I liked the book, but, it’s not one of my favorite books ever, or something like that. It’s very real, which is a good thing, but some parts felt a bit like over sharing to me. Though it hasn’t really happened of course, but still.
I still recommend it to everyone, though! I enjoyed reading it, after all.



You can buy it at book stores or online, for £7.99. If you’re not into reading, there’s also a movie based on this book :)

I told you before that I was reading Divergent, but I hadn’t decided yet if I was going to do a book review about it. But I have decided now and here the review is :)
So everyone knows what Divergent is about but, I don’t care. I’m just going to tell you and you can choose by yourself if you’re going to read that part of the post :p



So it’s about Beatrice (Tris, in the biggest part of the book) who lives in the future; the world is split up in factions by then. A faction for the honest -Candor-, a faction for the intelligent -Erudite-, a faction for the brave -Dauntless-, a faction for the kind -Amity- and a faction for the selfless
-Abnegation-.
Then there are the factionless, people who failed initiation for the faction they chose. Cause you have to choose the faction you’ll be in for the rest of your life (unless you become factionless) when you’re sixteen.
Tris is sixteen and she has to choose.
She (and all the others who are choosing their faction this year) has to do the aptitude test. The test will say in which faction you truly belong, so it’s easier to choose. But Tris’s test results are more than one faction.. She’s Divergent. That’s dangerous, but she doesn’t know why. And which faction will she choose when she has to make the decision all on her own; without test results?



I read the book and it’s fantastic! Sometimes it’s really romantic, and then suddenly Tris is almost going to die, if you know what I mean.
It will keep your attention till the end - and then you really want to read the second book, Insurgent.
So that’s what I’m doing; reading Insurgent! I’m loving this part too!



So go read Divergent! :)

I know almost everyone has already read TFIOS by John Green, but I’m reading it right now - and for the ones who haven’t read TFIOS yet, I’m writing this review. Because I LOVE the book.



So first you have to know a bit what the book is about;
It’s about Hazel, who has cancer which can’t be healed. With a special medicine she can live longer, but no one knows for how long. When she meets Augustus, who has survived cancer, everything changes. Hazel tells Augustus about her favorite book, An Imperial Affliction, which ends in the middle of a sentence. The author lives in Amsterdam, and Hazel and Augustus wanna go there, to ask the author some questions about the end of the book..



I already told you I really like the book, and that’s also because I like the way John Green writes, but, of course, it’s not the only reason. Another thing I like about the book, is that you’re going to know Hazel like she is you. I like it when I’m knowing the characters in the book better and better while reading :). And it’s just a good story.
I would really like it if you’re going to read it now - it’s worth it!

ps. I bought the book in IBooks for only 4 euros!
