I Am Charlotte Simmons

 I recently finished reading Tom Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons, which was nothing less than fantastic. I've read a few of his books, and they never fail to disappoint. Set at the fictional Dupont University, it follows Charlotte Simmons, a naive girl from small-town North Carolina, through her first year of college, and all the chaos that encompasses that defining year. Check it out if you're looking for an enthralling summer read!

Giant

 I read Edna Ferber's Giant about a year ago, exploring the sprawling, oil rich lands of Texas with eyes as naive as those of the protagonist, Leslie. Other than the airport in Houston, I haven't actually been to the state. However, based on the oppressive heat permeating throughout the book, this outfit seems like the perfect thing to wear there in the summer. And if you're in the mood for a good summer read, check it out here.
