interesting book: lessons from madame chic

book

Happy weekend! Sorry for missing in action lately. Besides occupied with work, I have started reading again and I have finished reading this book a while ago. There are some great advices, tips and insight of French lifestyle or culture. Interesting book, I would say. It covers diet and exercise, style and beauty, and lastly how to live well, the French way. I indeed would try some of the advices or tips. I guess when I was in my 20's it was time to focus on studies and work. In 30's it is about to find the real purpose of life and to live it passionately and fully...And this is the reason why I bought and read this book.

If you need a good read and looking for a change, this maybe the book for you.... Have a great weekend.

sew and save

sew n save cover

Whilst I have loads of vintage or contemporary clothes but I have little book collection. Ashamedly, I have to admit that I am not avid reader or perhaps I have not got the right book to read. Recently I am reading Sew and Save by Joanne Chase which I picked up from a book sale last year. It has been on the shelf since then and finally I thought I should give it a go. I have enjoyed reading it so far and learning the tricks or tips of dressmaking during war time that I have not known of. Truly an enlightenment. Although I have not finished the book, I think it is a good for anyone interested in sewing or dressmaking.  

Are you reading any book lately? Which book is it?
