She

How to: Confidence

Hold your head high

Look others in the eye

Laugh at yourself but not at others

Smile

Stop apologizing

Good manners (please and thank you)

Dress in a way that shows you have self worth

Expect others to believe you

Expect others to like you

"Real confidence is walking into a room and assuming everyone likes you."

Fake it till you make it. Before you know it, it's no longer fake.

The feminine urge to mess up your whole sleep cycle to read books.

I dream and I dream and I dream.

Do you have any favourite / suggestions for indipendent bookshops or second-hand books markets/shops in London? :)

YES

1. Daunt Books, Marylebone ⇢ my favorite in the world. Must see. 

2. Foyles ⇢ it’s huge, beautifully organized, and has everything you could need. Also great cafe upstairs. 

3. Persephone Books ⇢ all lady authors, a great way to find new things.

4. Southbank Book Market ⇢ in between waterloo and the eye (east edge of the southbank center under the bridge). Interesting selection (heavy on old orange penguin classics) with a can’t beat view. 

5. Charring Cross Road ⇢ there’s a string of independent, rare, and 2nd hand bookstore here (same road Foyles is on). Start down by Great Newport Street, head up towards Foyles. There’s a whole range of bookstores down there – I particularly like Koenig (emphasis on art and fashion). Don’t be intimidated by the antique booksellers; no, you probably can’t afford anything but as long as you’re quiet and careful they don’t mind you poking around.

Happy Hunting!
