It's okay to...

Read a "lovely read" at the bookstore, just so you don't have to buy it.

In this case, I have been sneaking off to Barnes & Noble to ooh and ahh, oogle and die over Christian Louboutin's new book. The man is brilliant, bold, iconic, talented and exceptional in every way but his $150 price tag almost made me cry. In fact, I was so looking forward to the release I actually might have.

"There is no way I am going pay that for a book" Sigh. "Christmas present." Ugh. "Who am I kidding? I can't wait till Christmas." Hmmmm "I'll just sneak in and read it. Wait. Can you do that?"  Duh, you totally can. And you can totally buy a Starbucks while you're at it. So, I've been spending all my free time indulging in a warm Starbucks and reading at the bookstore, just so I don't have to buy the book.  

Did I mention there are pop ups? 

I die.

A Lovely Read.

Inspired by Sex and the City.

Yes, they made it into a real book.

Loveliness starts with happiness. Happiness in a relationship starts with trust and passion; then becomes love. Neither trust or passion could leave a relationship and it remain a success. 

This was one of my favorite books to read. It is full of the most beautiful and heartfelt letters from great men to the ones they loved. There's romance and heartbreak. There's struggle and passion. Not many men show their true feelings like this anymore, let alone write love letters. They are incredible to read.

Here is part of a letter:

Robert Browning to Elizabeth Barrett (on the morning of their wedding day), 

  ...Words can never tell you...how perfectly dear you are to me - perfectly dear to my heart and soul. I look back and in every one point, every word and gesture, every letter, every silence - you have been entirely perfect to me - I would not change one word, one look...

Doesn't it just melt your heart?

A Lovely Read.

 

I finally found the lifestyles and secrets of the French! Lets face it, who knows style, elegance, and class better than them anyway?

I absolutely loved reading both of these books. Not only do they give you an inside they also give you fabulous recipes with all sorts of dinner and dessert ideas to help keep you slim and trim. Both books are adorable and informative; filled with style and elegance. A must read for every classy lady or those wanting a chic change.
