Covetable Coffee Table Books

The quickest way to freshen up a living space, a corner of a room, or a bedside table is to pick up a new coffee table book. Coffee table books complete any and every living space and are, in my opinion, one of the most interesting collections to have. My collection is complete with coffee table books about fashion, photography, art, interior design, architecture, cooking, travel, and iconic figures. I am always growing my collection (I just snatched up Great Houses of the South & 100 Unforgettable Dresses) and expanding it to flow along with my evolving taste. Below are a few of the coffee table books I'm currently coveting... I must complete my Gypset set (I already have Gypset Style)!

P.S. a coffee table book hunting hint: if you see a book in a store you must have, first check the Amazon price because it is usually cheaper!

Gypset Travel:

In The Spirit Of The Hamptons:

Style Me Pretty Weddings:

A Perfect Day For A Picnic:

The Little Black Jacket:

Odds And Ends

Many times it's the details and tiny tidbits that make life so sweet. Right now I'm caught up with...

{My sister's travel blog about her semester abroad in Barcelona - I'm already thinking about packing for my visit}

{The beginning of a blooming spring}

{Happy hour before seeing Jerry Seinfeld in Santa Barbara last weekend}

{My first attempt at spring cleaning}

{Finishing my days with a new book - The Aviator's Wife}

Vogue Weddings

Two weekends ago I went to Boulder, CO for my best friend's engagement party. It was such a beautiful weekend and as such I have been buzzing with wedding excitement ever since. What better thing to deepen my excitement than Vogue's new book Vogue Weddings: Brides, Dresses, Designers. Say hello to the new bridal bible as it features almost 400 photographs of weddings that have appeared in Vogue throughout the ages! I'm literally dying (& adding this to my Christmas list immediately)!

Book Worm

All I want to do today is listen to the rain fall outside my window and snuggle up in my cozy bed with my book (The Paris Wife). I am a firm believer that everyone needs to take a "me" day every once in a while on a rainy day like today!
