Flappers

This is my last day at work! My internship has been both rewarding and sien (mostly due to waking up early zzz) at the same time so I'm having mixed feeling about leaving. But whatever, with two more weeks or so til CNY, I shall take a well-deserved break and spend the last moments of my summer holiday rejuvenating B-)

So anyway, I just finished reading Twenties Girl by Sophia Kinsella (of the Shopaholic fame). Its about this 21st century lonely, fresh-from-being-dumped girl called Lara who gets visited by the ghost of her really glamorous great-aunt Sadie, who lived her peak years in the 1920s. This ghost comes in the form of her great-aunt at 23 years old, and she sort of guides Lara like a guardian angel, teaching her how to live like a headstrong, classy girl from the 1920s. Albeit chick lit, there were some really insightful lessons I got off the novel. Plus it got me really interested in 20s fashion. Go google it. It is damn glam.




Women back then were really...... women. Femenine but wise, strong but soft-spoken, fashionable but dignified.

Or maybe I'm just thinking of Coco Chanel.
Haha.
