It.

I've always thought that Alexa Chung comes across as being one of those downtown cool kind of gals so when I noticed this book in the library I threw it into my book bag to peruse.

It's a collection of photos and Alexa's musings on her life - her goals, her style icons and favourite things, fashion shows, karaoke etc. It also contains a sprinkling of style and make up hints and a section on heartbreak. (She still seems pretty angry about the heartbreak stuff...)

Overall, I'm a little confused by who this book is supposed to appeal to. If I was 16 and found this in my Xmas stocking I'm sure I would have thought it was cool, but I'm not sure that 16 year olds do books anymore. Don't they just do every thing on line?. 

It's really one of those books that you pick up, flick through and fling onto the done pile. Why, it's a hardback magazine!!. It's not glossy enough to be a coffe table book either with mostly black and white photos on matt paper.

Having said that it's not all bad. I wouldn't recommend buying it but if you find yorself in Anthropologie or somewhwere with 20 mins or so to kill, pick it up and have a browse.
