COOL TOO

You can of course see my love for all things beauty in that I use my Estée Lauder packaging for bookmarks! I can't bear to give away this amazing colored paper with the gold sticker, even to recycling. Anyway, it's been some time since we did a book review, so I thought I could talk about A Girl for All Seasons by Camilla Morton!

I bought this lovely hardback edition, in gold paper jacket, years ago from Exeter. I even got the gift that Waterstones would give with the book - a pretty Lily (or is it Lulu) Guiness bag charm which I still have somewhere (you know that the state of my drawers is far from exemplary).

I like A Girl for All Seasons, which is the sister book to How to Walk in High Heels. In fact, A Girl... came out also under the title A Year in High Heels.

Indeed, the book is written like a calendar, going from month to month with beauty and fashion advice. There is a lot on lifestyle too, from new year's resolutions to traveling and going to Glastonbury. There are inserts from Morton's famous friends like Manolo Blanik and Sophie Dahl. Sometimes the book can get too obsessive, as when there are endless pages on starting a book club (not all of us may be interested). But all in all it's a good book, witty and full of great lifestyle tips.

The illustrations are cool too.

Bye for now, and keep beauty always with you!
