IT

Upon hearing mixed reviews of my favourite IT girl's debut publication I decided it was time to decide for myself whether it was in fact over-indulgence at its finest or whether it was indeed a thing of post-adolescent beauty. Alexa Chung's 'It' was a pleasant surprise, a fluent read with a heart of pure goofy, awkward gold. If this book was personified it would be Bambi, wobbly and gangly with a fascinating elegance. Alexa gives insights into her world, from her own personal style icons (Spice Girls et al) to her stinging heart ache courtesy of the glassy eyed crooner, Mr Alex Turner, all conveyed with such a cool tone; nothing that life throws out can ruin this androgynous beauty. Miss Chung reminds us that girl power is crucial in times of sorrow, even if girl power does mean crawling home at ridiculous hours in the morning, broken by excessive hours dancing in 90's bars.
