I'm author ELLE STRAUSS and welcome to my website!

I write fun, lower Young Adult (teen) fiction to do with whimsical things like time-travel, fairies and merfolk.

When my serious side peeks out, she's called LEE STRAUSS. She likes to write upper YA about real things that have happened in the past, or made up things that could quite possibly happen in the future.

This blog is about books, mine and other fab authors', but occasionally I'll share about other topics.

Thanks for dropping by!

Spring Break (without the Spring)

I don't know about where you live, but the weather here has been Wacky! Yesterday was Spring--sit in the sun and tan your face warm, and today it's winter again--snow falling like it's mid December instead of mid March.

Despite the weather it's Spring break, and my body/soul/mind is telling me I need to take one. So Spring-like temperatures or not, I'm taking a blog break. You'll probably still find me peeking into Twitter and Facebook here and there, but for the most part I need to sign out until the end of the month.

Hopefully by then Spring will have stuck its stubborn heels in, and waved winter a final good-bye.

  1. We're having our typical Spring weather here, which is terribly windy, chilly, a bit of rain, a bit of snow. Pretty much chaos, but that's normal for us. I kind of hate our Spring. *sigh*

  3. Oh, what a gorgeous picture!! Spring arrived here in Ohio early but I'm not complaining. We had the BEST winter ever in the snowbelt and I'm overjoyed to hear birds singing again.

  4. Funny - around here (Boston) we've had SUPERB weather! 85 degrees and sunshine. Today I even got ice cream on a cone - it was hot enough for that. We also didn't have a winter-it barely snowed. Good luck with taking a break - hey sometimes, you need it. :-)

    There’s something incredibly assured about Isabel Marant and her aesthetic that you can close your eyes and see the girl with her just-rolled-out-of-bed hair and minimal make-up with hands in the pockets of skinny trousers, strutting about nonchalantly. That’s the attitude that has given way to a fervent Marant fanbase.
    She also seems to have a knack for turning the naff into new, or at the very least refreshed as she honed in on a Western frontier theme that resulted in embroidered yoked shirts, skinny trousers with gaucho curl patterns and cowboy boots. She worked elements of Little House on the Prairie into Edwardian lace dresses and casual shirts. Laser-cut leather and studded mini dresses created the harder and more decorative pieces in the collection.
    Still, the silhouette hardly wavered from her tried and tested cropped skinny trouser, the tucked in shirt and pointy pumps as well as a sprinkling of those quilted jackets and satin bombers. Marant gets away with simply changing up the motif because she’s well aware of what her girl wants from an Isabel Marant piece of clothing. Everything has to look like there was minimal effort involved in an ensemble, which is why Marant didn’t try to fix something that clearly wasn’t broken.
