When it comes to jewellery, I find the best way to find balance is to pick one statement piece. For me that either means bracelets or earrings. Seeing how I like to keep things simple, more often than not, I end up matching colours. For example, if I’m wearing a green dress, I prefer to wear a green-toned bracelet or will rummage for green earrings. Once in a while when the mood strikes me, I go with contrasting colours that make everything look bolder.
Preserving Paperbacks — Preventing Cracked Spines
Given a choice between a hardcover and paperback book with the same cover design, I will almost always pick the paperback. Paperbacks take up less space in my bags and bookshelves, are much lighter and are much handier when reading. The one drawback they have measured against hardcovers is that their spines crack very easily. Still, I am very determined at preventing cracked spines. At the same time, I don’t like squinting into the shadows of a book that is hardly open.
LO-FI PHOTO FUN by Adam Bronkhorst
First and foremost Lo-Fi Photo Fun is about getting creative with film photography. While Brinkhorst did state in the introduction that many techniques can be applied to digital photography as well, most of these results would have to be achieved in post-processing or through digital photo manipulation.
Preview: Nimona
I have no idea what Nimona is about. The sole reason I picked it up at the library is that one of the Popsugar Reading Challenge prompts is “A graphic novel” and Nimona is one. Of course, I didn’t pick it all that randomly. I’ve seen a whole lot of people I follow on Instagram and Twitter gush about it. Seeing how I have no idea where to even start with graphic novels, I figured I might as well start here.
Mise-en-scène: Maps
Maps are such great inclusions in books that bring their stories to life. I like being able to trace the sequence of events according to their locations. One map which I particularly was delighted about was the map of London from circa 1909 that was included in A Mad, Wicked Folly by Sharon Biggs Waller.
