  8. Thank you so much for the award, daring CC! You are just too sweet for words :)
    I love that Melody Woodin is reading A Clockwork Orange! And people say models are dumb ;)
    I've read it a million times, but one of my favorite reads for any time really, is Pride and Prejudice or On the Road. So good :)
    Enjoy your weekend and the beautiful weather we're finally having!

  45. Many models seem to be great readers.

    Book is really treasure house of wisdom and humane, although reading needs much energy.

    Haruki Murakami is genius!
    My Jp favorite authors are Junichiro Tanizaki, Osamu Dazai and Banana Yshimoto, although.

    However, sometimes i want to get the books just because of the cover's drawings.
    Even if i can't read the languages in contents;D

  46. CC - I checked out those Jacquard shorts FAB! I'm also eying the wallpaper jacquard dress ;) But I purchased a jacket instead, only because it was on sale.

    ReplyDelete
  47. CC, love this post so much!
    And Myf Shepherd is a delight, love her to bits. Helps that she's reading such a great book.

    As Macaron Treats shared the book she's reading, here's mine: Falling Man by Don DeLillo. What a fabulous book!

    Hope you are having a wonderful weekend (and I totally understand the jeans moratorium ;)

    p.s. thank you for your sweet comment on my last post dearie :D

  54. I looooove reading. And I looooooove models. But my favorite models are those with a good head on their shoulders. Not like some who I see in interviews, and they sound like complete bimbos!
