What I've Been Loving Quarterly

As many of you know, I used to do monthly favourites posts showing the products I was reaching for each month but I have been finding that a little too much.

I don't generally buy a lot of products and if I do, I save them for more in depth reviews so it was getting harder and harder to pick which products I was loving each month.

I have decided that I would now do favourites post 4 times a year (every 3 months). That way I will have more to show you.

Style Icon Saturdays By Meg: Featuring Emma Watson

Emma Watson is only 23, but she is very fashion forward. If I were to describe her style in a few words I would say it is: fresh, daring, and young. Although I wouldn't quite describe my personal style that way, I find that eyeing Emma's sharp clothing makes me more of a daredevil with my own fashion- it's always good to try new things!

Emma is a fashion risk taker with an eye for style. 
I absolutely adored her in this Custom Burberry gold dress paired with those high, high heels. This dress choice actually prompted me to buy a sequin-ny, purple dress in a similar vein for a New Years party; a dress I still bring out for special occasions.

Room - Book Review


I have wanted to read Room by Emma Donoghue since Cate and I's university Sociology professor first mentioned how wonderfully the novel showcased the sociological concepts we were learning: how our development and  perspectives are profoundly shaped by the sociological structures that govern our childhoods.

Room is the story of Jack, a five year old boy, and his mother who are imprisoned in an impenetrable shack. I found this book to be a powerful example of how people can adapt and survive even the most horrible of circumstances. Jack and his mother find joy in each other, something that gets them through the most terrible of times. It was an absorbing read that I just couldn't put down; I finished it in days flat.
