It (Hardback)
Alexa Chung (author)Published: 05/09/2013
**NOW A TOP TEN BESTSELLER**
A truly one-off collection of Alexa's writing, doodles and photographs, It combines stories of early style inspirations such as her grandpa and the Spice Girls with discussion of figures of obsession like Jane Birkin and Annie Hall, and reflects on heartbreak, how to get dressed in the morning, the challenges of taking a good selfie, and more. Interspersed with pages from Alexa's notebooks and many a photo of a good night out, It appears in real cloth with hand-crafted marbled endpages covered in polkadots, stripy head & tail bands and luxuriously creamy paper. Witty, charming and with a refreshingly down-to-earth attitude, It is a must-have for anyone who loves fashion, worries about growing up, or loves just about everything Alexa Chung.
Alexa Chung is a model and the co-host of the daily music television programme Fuse News, airing in the US. She is also a contributing editor to British Vogue. The recipient of numerous style awards, Alexa has won the prestigious British Style Award (voted for by the public) three years in a row. She currently lives in New York City.

It's a teenage girl's dream come true - an honest insight into one of the world's most copied style ambassadors * Vogue *
Alexa Chung's debut book has got us hooked * Marie Claire *
Very sweet, at times dryly funny ... It will enchant those who get her appeal -- Hadley Freeman * Guardian *
Alexa is a fashion trailblazer of our times. Whether working a mannish tux or demure pinafore, everything she wears inspires legions of copycats. So who wouldn't want the inside track on her style? -- Katherine Ormerod, senior fashion news and features editor. * Grazia *
a charming combination of honesty and humour ... her tongue in cheek commentary is what makes It so relatable * National Student *
It does feel like it's been a very long time coming * Metro *
we like Alexa Chung. We really like her. We think she's good at what she does, which is essentially being a wo-man-about-town, wearing cool stuff and saying cool things and giving really good breakup advice. And she's funny on Twitter, which is always a plus. Her book, It, seems to reflect that * Racked.com *
