Hopefully by now you will have seen my Rome travel diary by now, though I didn’t get much time to extensively shop we did manage to get to visit the main shopping district in the city by the Spanish Steps and there were plenty of little boutiques near our hotel too.

Travel | Rome (through rose tinted lenses)
Ciao my lovelies! I’m back and functioning (only just) from my holiday in Rome just over a week ago. The weather was blistering hot, the food was great and the sights were breathtaking! Here’s a little photo diary from my trip.

Beautiful Books #2 | Favourite Book Covers
It’s been a while since my first Beautiful Books post and I’ve – obviously – added a few more stunning books to my collection. Here are more of my current favourites.
How To Be A Heroine by Samantha Ellis | Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll | Remix by Non Pratt
First up! Colour! So much colour! I’ve been wanting to read How To Be A Heroine for ages and the cover sums up the entire premise of the book in such a bold way. I’ve already waxed poetic about the various Alice In Wonderland covers for Alice’s Day, but it only hit me that fateful Alice’s Day morning I didn’t actually own a copy of the book myself! I spent a truly embarrassing amount of time in Waterstones comparing editions but I eventually settled on the 2012 Penguin English Library edition. It feels a bit different with it’s little flamingos from the croquet match in the book, I also love the contrast between the yellow/hot pink and the grey. Remix is close to being one of the most fun YA books covers I’ve seen in a long time. Again, it was the bright and bold colours that caught my eye as well as the festival inspired theme to the typography, illustrations and blurb.
