Bazaar Books: Sophie Kinsella Twenties Girl

Ever since I can remember, I have associated every Summer with a particular fragrance, song and book. For 2012, I have found my Summer book. That book that leaves you feeling happy and thinking about the characters long after you have finished the last page. Sophie Kinsella has a way of creating characters that every girl can relate to. Whether you're a teenager, in your 20's or a mother in your 50's, a part of you will always feel connected to her characters. 

Twenties girl is an unpredictable, laugh out loud, summer read filled with all the right ingredients to make a truly fabulous read. When Lara Lington, a 23 year old Londoner, with a failing HR business and a broken heart is haunted by her great-aunt Sadie, you would expect a tale that is somewhat cheesy and hard to grip. Instead, I was met with a heart warming, sweet, quirky and comical novel with an absolutely amazing ending that will leave you buzzing for weeks.

Very excited to finally get my hands on Lauren Conrad's (Star of MTV reality show The Hills') first book 'LA Candy'. As it was on the best seller list and prompted LC to continue the book's series, I figured it must be a good read and from the first few chapters I was right. It's a good light-hearted read and for anyone who was a fan of The Hill's, it gives you an insight into what really went on even though LC has changed all the characters, you can still tell which character represents the cast. The story follows 2 girls who have just moved to LA and due to start Uni/internship when they are approached to do a reality star. Yes. Just like The Hills. Cue the drama.

LC has launched her new clothing line Paper Crown and even though I was a big fan of her style on the show (she was an intern at Teen Vogue and at DVF), I'm not sure how I feel about the collection. I expected a bit more glitz and glamour with some sequins, shoulder pads and heavy embellishments. Instead, we get a collection which is lovely, but almost too safe. I love the soft colours but a few jewels may have added that bit of sparkle to convince me to 'add to cart'. Anyhoo, the book is worth a read so definitely worth a buy.
