Book Review: The House At Riverton by Kate Morton!

I recently finished The house at Riverton and it was definitely one of those books that you can't put down. I loved it and it has by far become my favourite. Would I rate it 5 stars? YES!!!!

Summer 1924
On the eve of a glittering society party, by the lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life. The only witnesses, sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, will never speak to each other again.

Winter 1999
Grace Bradley, ninety-eight, one time housemaid at Riverton Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the poet's suicide. Ghosts awaken and old memories - begin to sneak back through the cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge, something history has forgotten but grace never could.

Set in the war-shattered Edwardian summer surrenders to the decadent twenties.

Kate Morton

Kate grew up in the mountains in south-east Queensland in Australia. She attended the university of Queensland, and got degrees in dramatic art and English Literature. Kate lives in Brisbane, Australia with her husband and son. Her website is KATE MORTON WEBSITE

Selena's top is by UNIF and is called the 6 eyes tank top and costs $64, but it's cheaper from there official website UNIF by $4.

So more about the top; It was made in the U.S.A, the colour is faded black with the yellow smiley face. It is 17" in length at the front and 22" in the back so it's a bit like a high-low top. It's made from 52% Modal and 48% cotton. It runs true to size and also has little holes in the top. It is available from TOBI

Christian Louboutin Ulona 140 Dupe?

Who doesn't love the HUGE brand Christian Louboutin. What celebrity doesn't have a pair? Well... I found a pair that looks extremely similar for only a fraction of the price. As you can see from the title the Christian Louboutin shoes I am talking about are the Ulona 140 Platform Multi-color that cost a whopping $1695 from Net-a-porter (They are not available anymore on Net-a-porter.com but i'm sure you could find them elsewhere) 
The Ulona 140 Platform Multi-color shoes have a 5.5 inch heel with a 1 inch platform. The sizing also runs smaller so i'd advise to get the next size up from your original size. The multi-coloured part of the shoe is made of Suede and leather. The gold straps are metallic. The shoes are also peep toe and have a zip fastening at the back of the heel and of course those signature red soles. More information and pictures are on the Net-a-porter website which if you are interested in then just click HERE

Now for the dupe... The website that sells them are Sheinside and funnily enough they have called their Christian Louboutin lookalikes the 'Ulona 140 platform sandal' They have also priced their shoes at just $85 which is a fraction of the originals. The heel is 14cm and the platform is 4cm. The material is just leather with the outsoles being rubber, they are also peeptoes. They also do free shipping. 

The website itself has many dupes of Christian Louboutin shoes which you'll see if you browse there shoes. 

Forever 21 dupe?

I was browsing the net earlier in the day before I sat my very last exam this school term... I have officially finished college until September where I start a new college in which i'll be there for two years until I go to University. Whilst browsing I found a top that looked very similar to each other and thought i'd post about it.

As from the title you can see this is about the possible dupe of a forever 21 top called the Metallic Striped Top(I was browsing the US store, i'm not sure whether this top is available in the UK) and is $13.80. The material used is 94% Rayon and 6% Spandex. It also comes in various sizes; 2-12US/CAN, 4-14UK and 32-42EU. It also ONLY comes in the one colour which is Black with Silver sequins.

The possible dupe is from a UK store called Matalan, which was founded in 1985 by a man named John Hargreaves and is now worth over £1Million. The store specialises in Fashion and Homewear. There are currently over 200 stores in the UK.
The dupe top is called the Short Sleeve Chiffon Blouse Sequin Stripe Top and costs just £14 originally but is currently half price and is currently selling for £7. It is currently only available in sizes 8, 10 and 12UK (Last time I checked, if you are sizes 14, 16, and 18UK and are interested in this top please do check there website as they may have some more in stock in the near future) and come in two colours; Black with Gold sequins & White with Gold sequins. The White with Gold Sequins have more sizes available, they are size 8-20UK and currently the size 10UK is out of stock. The tops are made from 100% Polyester and can be washed by a washing machine. It also has a 3.8/5 star review. 

As you can see from the pictures above the tops are very similar but NOT identical.

My favourite item from the website is:

This is a Mint multi strand necklace which as you should know mint is on trend during the summer season. This could spice up a boring and neutral outfit and look stylish and on trend. Team this with a white tank top or tee and a pair of black shorts or leggings with a pair of neutral flats or flip-flops, or with a black or white plain dress with heels. If I was to wear this I would wear it with a white lace skater dress, my hair up in a classic bun, neutral make-up, black heels and a mint envelope clutch bag, I would not wear any other jewellery except maybe a dainty ring. This necklace only costs $18.50 so your not breaking the bank also. If you are interested in this necklace you can go straight to it on the website by clicking HERE!
