Book Style: Jane Eyre

Today is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Can I just say that I want to wear this outfit everyday for the rest of the Fall. EVERY DAY. All very proper and polished without being too fancy, much like our titular heroine. And isn't this cape/jacket thingy just too perfect? I chose this necklace, not only to bring in the touch of red on the cover, but because it reminded my of the flames that are a constant threat (and eventual salvation) in the novel.

Book Style: Animal Farm

I've been working up the courage to tackle this cover for George Orwell's Animal Farm for a while now; it seems so easy but it was really difficult. Mostly because, despite the satirical nature, the plot isn't all that fun and vibrant like this color palette. I went with some military inspiration since the book addresses some militaristic tendencies inherent in the Russian Communist revolution. I also tossed in that vintage Russian wedding band to pay homage to the subject material. A cute little piggy necklace is a nod to Orwell's talking animal leads.
