Love Of the Day: 12

Today I am loving: Jen Lancaster.
Any prep worth her salt worships Jen. She is the queen of the preppies, in my personal opinion, AND she is funny. She is who I would want my roommate in college to be. And right now I am reading Bitter is the New Black. OMG. Jen is as hilarious (or was hilarious, since its older?) as she is in My Fair Lazy (one of my fave reads of 2010, BTW). So, if you are a prep or love sarcasm pick up one of her books AND read her blog! You won't regret it, especially in this awfully cold weather!

Hugs & Best Wishes,
Lizzie

How Do YOU Feel About Chick-Lit???

I was reading past posts on one of my favorite blogs, Pink Lemonade Design, which is run by Isabelle Lafleche, whose debut book, J'Adore New York, is out in December( I can't WAIT!). I came across a post of hers that had a link to an article about how just because a book is all fluff & fun, doesn't mean it is stupid or should be looked down upon just because it is chick-lit. I wholeheartedly agree. Chick lit for women and teens is my favorite genre, and the style of the genre helps relax me at the end of the day. In my personal opinion, you can't hate something if you have never tried it, so I think every woman should try at least one chick-lit book in their lifetime. She might end up hating it, or she might, suprisingly, find a new obsession. What do you think? I would love to here comments! And here is the link to the article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/aug/05/chick-lit-debate-michele-gorman?CMP=twt_gu Enjoy!
