M O R E - B O O K S

Adding to my pile of books that I want to read this year/soon is not something that I really needed to do but if you see a book you fancy then you should buy it. Books are a sensible use of the dolla. That's my story and I am sticking to it! And if I'm being fair to myself, one book was bought for me so really I only bought three...

Trousers & Books

 I haven't done an outfit post in what feels like forever basically I haven't really been wearing anything interesting or that I don't normally wear ... fallen into a bit of a rut I guess but New Year out of rut & all that....

I just wanted to check in, say hello & share 2 probably not interesting pictures with you. First up, H&M sale get there it is amazing. I am considering going back again to pick up some grey jeans I saw & really wish I had bought but don't fear I did not leave empty handed. I left with these gorgeous black & white patterned trousers which were a bargain at £10!! I was umming & ahhing over whether to keep them or not but I figured i might as well sure I will find things to wear with them. The feature I like the best has to be the black strip down the side of the legs, it just adds a nice little touch to the trouser.

This is my Christmas holiday reading material, British Vogue & The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald which I am so very close to finishing & have loved every page. I am a big reader particularly of older books - for want a of a better way to say that -  I am not a fan of chick-lit modern books, I guess I like the escapism of going to another time. Everything was so much more glamorous. *Sigh*

Happy Wednesday!

Reading

I like to think that my blog is a good & honest representation of me, this said I thought I would include a few posts about books. Reading is a massive hobby for me, sitting down & getting completely lost in a book is one of my favourite things to do so I want to try to incorporate this into Erratic Glamour.

I read anything, if it sparks an interest in me; romance, crime, autobiographical, classic, fiction, non-fiction... My love from reading comes from my dad, he is the smartest person I know & has so much knowledge across such a range of topics I guess, I sort of aspire to this quality. He always told me 'If you don't know something (and want to to know more) look it up!' This has led to quite a new flicks through encyclopedias & Googles of the strangest nature but I found the answer to my ponder!

Some of my favourite read:
'Pride & Prejudice' by Jane Austen
Simply for Elizabeth Bennet as a character, Mr Darcy *Swoon* & the love story!

'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee If you have not read this book, go & do it. It is such a wonderful story. The best book I read in all my school exams. Truly wonderful.

Sherlock Holmes Collection of Short Stories by Arthur Conan Doyle His image of Victorian London is so beautifully & accurately portrayed along with the search for the criminal, the character of Sherlock Holmes & his relationship with Dr Watson. Quite a heavy read but if you like this genre definitely check them out!

I am currently reading Ernest Hemingway 'A Moveable Feast' which is making me crave a Parisian life & 'The Constant Princess' By Phillipa Gregory, this is about Katherine of Aragon. I read 'The Other Boleyn Girl' first which was probably a mistake but I know what happens in the end of all the tudor series book so no big surprises really...

What are you reading? x

It's not the end of the world.

 What I am wearing: Crop top - Cut up Ressi freebie, Kristen Topshop Jeans, New Look wedges, Tesco bag, Thumb ring Boutique, Bracelets Random mix

I was planning on heading down to Princes Street today to get some leggings for the new as I noticed that my current ones are ever so slightly see thru pretty much all over - so happy that this fact was brought to my attention while I was at the gym - but if i am honest I really cannot be bothered so I think a day of chilling in my rocking chair in the sunny patch at my window reading 'The Other Boleyn Girl' by Pilippa Gregory is a much better plan. Might as well be dressed up for such occasion!   I find when I read often I can write a lot more, I love reading but sometimes fall into not reading stages currently I can't get enough of reading. I am trying to get through as many books in my pile of to-reads as possible before 4th year university starts...

This mint green top was a freebie in a magazine Elle possibly but it was just too small for me so I chopped it up into a crop top. The rough edge is what I like most about it. It comes in pretty handy now considering without some chopping it would have met the bin! Anyway have a lovely Saturday whatever you may be doing!
