Book Style: The Hobbit

The Hobbit


For one of my favorite books, The Hobbit, by J. R. R. Tolkien I thought a camping-friendly outfit would be in order. Or, you know, a bed and breakfast in the mountains outfit... The whole vibe is in honor of the trek that Bilbo and the dwarves make from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain. That was a lot of nights sleeping rough. I love the dwarven shield on the belt buckle and the lovely Tolkien-inspired pendant. And the dwarves shirt is something that needs to be in my closet now.

Book Style: A Tale Of Two Cities

A Tale Of Two Cities


A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is quite honestly the only (non-modern) Classic I ever remember liking. Probably because it sated my high school Francophilia and had some legit history going on with the whole French Revolution thing. I remember being oddly invested in the story which never happened (or happens still) with Dickens. I chose lots of nods to Paris and London with this weekend-chic outfit. Who says you have to look like a schlub to run Saturday errands? Also, those of you who have read the book will get the earrings' reference to the blue eyes.
