The Time-Traveling Fashionista on Board the Titanic by Bianca Turetsky

I'm giving it my 'pick me' rating, and I think you should pick it too! I just really really really liked this book. I also loved the inclusion of quotations from noted fashion personalities. I LOVED going back over and over and over the illustrations. It's illustrated with the most fantastic fashion designs ever. The book itself is literally one of the most beautiful books I've ever laid my hands on. Now let's talk about the physical book: it's GORGEOUS. Besides that, she tries her hardest to rewrite history (which, granted, she didn't know much about because she has the worst stereotype of a history teacher EVER) by saving the Titanic. She was well-developed, had a killer fashion sense (she recognized Lucile!! LUCILE!! I would almost literally kill for a Lucile piece, not that I could ever afford one), and is just plain fun. Even though our heroine is a mere twelve years old, I adored her (not to say that I don't like 12-year olds in general, but I usually steer clear of young characters like that in literature). It was one of those books that I finished in a couple of hours because I couldn't put it down. Hello, books! Anyway, this was one of them, and a total treasure! Luckily, a blogger friend of mine had some books that she wasn't able to get to for reviews and asked me to take them on, which of course, I was happy to do.

I was terribly bummed, because seriously, this book was written for me. When I saw a giveaway on Goodreads for this one, I just knew I was destined to have it. Let me just start by saying that I adore books where fashion (and especially high fashion) is incorporated.
