D-R-A-M-A!!! The book Gucci Wars promises to be rather a scandalous read but I'm more excited to learn about the story behind the legendary brand! "How I survived murder and intrigue at the heart of the world's biggest fashion house" reads the headlines.

Darlings, I am pleased to publicly annouce for the first time that Linnea Page will be moving to London, England this coming autumn! Upon my exciting acceptance to Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design I will be relocating and leaving my home in Beijing, China. In preparation I have studied the satirical comic of Miss Remarkable and Her Career. The hilarious strip, by Joanna Rubin Dranger, follows the fabulous protagonist Miss Remarkable as she pursues a career in the competitive design industry. Initially cocky and ready to take on the world, she finds that reinventing the wheel can be a difficult task and instead becomes stuck in a design rut in which she is unable to produce inspired work. I can't help but feel for her struggles as I am about to embark on the same journey. Both exciting and nerve wrecking!

I love books! But more specifically, gorgeous, big, coffee table books! It's hard to resist the urge to buy them when there are just sooo many wonderful ones out there. During Christmas break in Thailand, I found several new ones to add to my collection. I can't wait to read them all!



The books included: 'The Next Generation: Japanese Women Designers, Photographers, and Illustrators', 'Fashion Drawing in Vogue', and 'Avedon 1944-2000 Fashion'.



My pile is growing! Best part, these aren't even all!
