Where do your book shelves end and your closet begin? With book style, I take the colors, textures, and mood of book covers and transform them into outfits. Sometimes, I take elements from the story itself. Sometimes, I will come up with outfits that I will never dare wear (the ones with shoe heels that reach the sky, mostly). And perhaps, one day, we will find a way to make style resonate as loudly as the written word.

A sweet Book Style post by the Boheme and “magical-moment-capturer” Aiz. Check out her beautiful blog HERE. You can’t help but fall in love with it!
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
“And people laugh at me because I use big words. But if you have big ideas you have to use big words to express them, haven’t you?” – Anne Shirley
Anne Shirley, the witty redhead of L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables is my fictional kindred spirit. Though we do not share the same fiery hair color, nor do I have the same amount of her overwhelming audacity for life, I must say we both have the love for the beauty of words. She has a certain hopeless romantic feel about her and a tireless courage to speak out in an evocative, and sometimes overly dramatic manner by which consequences is of no importance. To celebrate such a free-spirited character, I find it fitting to give her an ensemble that bespeaks such candor.
A light tunic paired with an organic Raffia hat while taking leisurely walk on a grassy field, where a single light step sends hundreds of wild dandelion rosettes into frenzy, filling up the breezy air like the garden of Hesperides. I imagine the tip of my toes, in this lovely blue sandals feeling the early morning dew. My blue feather earrings seems bouyant as it dances with zephyr, lightly touching my sunkissed cheeks. The plush clouds against the friendly skies serve as my parasols following my every step. The sun makes an occasional peek, its rays glistening against the jewels in my hobo bag. I reach out for my paper and pen, my eyes transfixed on the beauty and the seemingly endless possibilities. It is indeed a good day to write!

Seriously, how beautiful is this post? I have realized that these Book Style posts from other bloggers have shown just how weak I am when it comes to writing and styling. *sigh*
I am not jealous; I am inspired! Because isn’t it better to live life with your “eyes transfixed on the beauty and the seemingly endless possibilities” than on wishing that you have someone else’s skills or creativity or taste?
Thank you, Aiz. You made my day when you emailed this to me and I’m sure many of my lovely readers will love this post as much as I do.
