Helena Glazer || Brooklyn Blonde

This month's blogger pick is the lovely Helena of Brooklyn Blonde.

First featured in my post Blogger Picks | May #2, I can't actually remember how I found out about her, I think it may have been either an image I saw on pinterest or maybe while I was browsing on BlogLovin.
Anyway I'm glad I found her, I love her style and much like Kayla Seah, Helena is another blogger who gives me what I like to call 'jean envy', and I have now discovered something called 'coat envy'. Yes my friends they are definitely real things.

| Denim Love |
I love all white looks and I love this one even more with the addition of the pink coat.

| Glamour |

| Island Blues |

| Laid Back Weekend |
I love this look. Now that I have my own sleeveless trench (Outfit | Camel//White) this is definitely a look I want to recreate. Without the mules though, I'm not a big fan of mules.

| On & Off |
Grey, grey and more grey and it looks yummy and that sleeveless coat is to die for.

Goodreads 2015 Reading Challenge | August

So we're another month in and we're almost there!!
I didn't actually read that many books this month as things have been a bit all over the place recently. I started an new job at the end of last month (more on that good news later) and then two days after I started I went on holiday, where it turns out that I didn't have much as much time for reading as I thought I would. But still I guess I was living the life eh?

This month I managed to read 8 books bringing my total to 91 which leaves my 8 books before I reach my 100 and I've read over 25,009 pages.

Daughter (2*) (Jane Shemilt) - A friend at work left this book for me to read after she had read it saying it was amazing. I had heard a few good things about this book and I'd seen countless posters of it on the underground. But unfortunately I didn't like it. I think it was a good book, it's well written, it starts off well and the middle is good, the majority of the book is really good, but I hated the ending. I don't want to say why I hated it because I think it would spoil the book for everybody else. Because I hated the ending so much it brought down my overall opinion of the book. Don't think I'll be reading that one again. (Let me know what you think!)

Coming Home (5*) (Annabel Kantaria) - I loved this book, so full of secrets, lies, love, hate... ooo just so much. I wasn't expecting most of what happened at all, the first major twist got me but it was definitely the final twist on the last few pages that had me shocked. A really great read, kept me captivated throughout.

The Tapestry of Us (2*) (Lily Pickard) - I really liked this book, I know what you're thinking, "but you only gave it a 2!". The book starts off really well but I was confused with the jump between times, for me it wasn't made clear which parts were in the past and what was in the present. Despite all that I still enjoyed the book but what had me disappointed was the ending, this time it just felt like there were a few pages missing, or that there is a sequel where the story continues.

A Single Breath (5*) (Lucy Clarke) - I started this book late last night and despite having to go to work the next morning , I stayed up to finish reading it. After doing that I can say that this book got to me and that certain parts had me crying like a baby. I seem to have a thing for books about grief, love and betrayal. Definitely going to give this book another read.
