Sharp Objects

I, like many others girls throughout the past year, read the book Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I'm typically a fan of thrillers, especially the ones that end every chapter with the realization that you're not moving from your couch for the next couple of hours because you have to turn to the next page. Such was the case with Gone Girl, but with Flynn's other book, Sharp Objects, the thrill just wasn't there.

However, the nightmares definitely were. I've never read a book that would affect my dreams so often. The plots reads as a typical suspense novel with a little bit of horror wrapped in: Journalist girl in a big city returns home to her small town to cover the murder of two little girls, but somehow gets wrapped up in solving the mystery and learning a few not-too-pleasant details about her family and childhood.

The ending was mostly predictable and I grew to hate the main character, as well as strongly question the sanity of Flynn herself (as if I didn't already from reading Gone Girl). All in all, I'd recommend Gone Girl any day, but Sharp Objects was definitely subpar.

Have any of you read this book?

The right fit

You know that problem everyone has with sizing, where you can be a size 4 in one store, size 8 in another and then realize you can magically squeeze into a zero in another store? Determining what size you are is sometimes easier said than done. 

This is where eShakti comes in. The company provides clothing in their online boutique as ready-to-wear apparel custom sized to fit you. From sizes 0 to 36, you can pick from their selection of dresses, skirts, tops and more, then customize it to your liking! eShakti sent me this black top embellished with scallops, and I was able to customize its length. I waited to wear it in Mexico so I could snap some great pics on the beach.

Checkout eShakti's website here, and hopefully you can find something you like, and make it something you will love by customizing it!
