Bonjour, While scrolling through Tumblr recently, I discovered a clothing website called Dolls Kill. The website describes its clothes as "an active subversion of the fashion industries 'norm'", inspired by "the digital Tumblr girl world, bad acid trips, underground counterculture and stylized gutter punks". It's definitely what you might call a little 'out there', as the clothes have a seriously edgy feel and are often made...
Bonjour, After having intended to do so since the beginning of the summer holidays, I've spent much of today conducting research into how to write a personal statement for university applications. Applying to UK universities involves completing a UCAS application, which comprises several elements including roughly 600 words on why you want to go on to higher education, why you want to study...
Bonjour, I found these book-related questions on Tumblr the other day and decided I'd pick the best ones and answer them here on my blog. If you ever wanted to know anything about my favourite books, how much I read or my opinion on books becoming movies, I guarantee the answer will be somewhere in this post! 1. What was the last book...
Bonjour, A month or so ago I went to a secondhand book sale at my local British store, where they have a huge variety of books and every year I find something to interest me - this time was no exception. I am Rembrant's Daughter by Lynn Cullen I picked this up because I was (and still am) having a very much historical...

The result? I have another book review for you! Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan It's true - I am a...
Bonjour, I was in the UK last week, and I did just a teensy bit of shopping on the last day I was there. I mostly bought stuff in Primark (if you're been reading my blog for a while you'll know how crazy I can go in Primark, since we don't have it where I live) but I also got a couple of...
Bonjour, So I've decided to share some of the music I've been loving recently by making a playlist of YouTube videos. I tried to limit the number of Lana Del Rey songs included, but didn't really do a very good job, because I have been LOVING (and listening non stop to) her new album Ultraviolence ever since it came out. Le Playlist Sia...
Bonjour, I recently got back from a short-ish trip to the UK, with the primary aim to visit as many universities in the west country as was humanely possible in a short space of time. The whole process of figuring out what I want to do with my life is something that's crept up on me all too soon, and suddenly I'm being...
