a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers. With only two days until the start of Summer, I decided to write a Spring Alphabet. This post is basically going to me doing a small summary of my Spring. I will pick one word for each letter of the alphabet and write a bit about it. I did something similar a few years back when I wrote my  Summer alphabet  and it's been fun reflecting on that post. My Spring was really eventful, so I can't complain. In this post, I'll also share a few of my Spring outfits that I haven't had the chance to share before. Scroll down to see and read more!

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! If you're a regular reader of my blog, then you'd have been acquainted with my fascination with Joseph Conrad. I've read most of his works and I always keep coming back for more. In this post, I'll review one of his novels  The Secret Agent. A novel  somewhat different than other Conard's works I've read so far. For one, it's neither set on a boat nor does it talk about the sea. Indeed, seafaring plays no part in this one. Published in 1907, The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale is a novel that focuses on topics of politics, terrorism and espionage. Some might call it a political piece of writing, I would describe it more as a psychological triller. However, the role of politics in this novel is certainly very important, as the protagonist Verloc works for a political organization. Moreover, I've got an outfit to go with it. This   purple vintage blazer is giving me Victorian vibes. It's not that old, though. I pai...

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall review The Time of Indifference , a novel by Alberto Moravia.  You can read this novel in English for free here . Published in 1929,  The Time of Indifference  is a beautifully complex psychological novel that explores human emotions and relationships. The novel focuses on one dysfunctional family specifically and is spread over a very short span of time (a few days). Rather than on events, this novel focuses on inner lives of its bourgeoise protagonists.  It could perhaps be best described as a work of psychological realism with elements of existentialism.  Besides reviewing this novel, I'll  also show you a spring outfit I wore fairy recently. Spring is nearing its end and Summer is almost here. Spring's been filled with work and family events but I found time to do some blogging and reading. Yes, I managed to find some time on my blog to publish a quite few book reviews. Now , the time has co...
