Christmas Wish List ~ Coffee Table Books

I adore beautiful coffee table books.
In fact they are one of the few things I collect.
This year I have four coffee table books on my Christmas list.
Any of these books make a perfect gift for anyone who enjoys fashion and style, as well as the perfect gift for yourself.



The Little Black Jacket, Chanel's Classic Revisited By Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld

I am pretty much obsessed with Carine Roitfeld and everything she does. My Christmas List is topped with this gorgeous book celebrating Chanel's little black jacket. Her partnership with Karl Lagerfeld always yields the spectacular, and this glorious tome will not disappoint.
Order it here: The Little Black Jacket

Oscar De La Renta, The Style, Inspiration And Life of Oscar De La Renta

Somewhat bittersweet with his recent passing, this updated version of the 2002 book celebrates Oscar de la Renta's milestones in the world of fashion and style.

“Oscar completely understands who he is and who he is dressing… He’s never tried to be avant-garde or difficult. He just does really good clothes, never overtly sexy but attractive, colorful, and feminine,”  Anna Wintour.

Over 160 images in a beautiful hard slipcase.

Celebrating the luxe lifestyle of the Last Emperor himself, At The Emporer's Table gives us a gorgeous glimpse into the lavish and stylish entertaining hosted by Valentino Garavani in his five beautiful homes (Gstaad, Paris, Rome, London and New York) and aboard his private yacht.
Showcasing his exhaustive collection of table settings and objets d'arte, with photography by Oberto Gili, the book is written by Andre Leon Talley and features recipes from Garavani's personal chefs.

Fabulous Quotes ~ Manolo Blahnik

I adore great quotes.
And I adore Manolo Blahnik.
In the September 2014 issue of Allure Magazine he listed 10 beautiful things a woman should own. Or maybe it was just a list of 10 beautiful things.
Anyway he had some glorious quotes in there.


Manolo-Blahnik-Summer-2014

The first was expected "A high heel transforms you. It changes the way you walk, the way you dress..."

But my favorite was when discussing Hermes bags.
He loves an Hermes Tote that I couldn't find online, but I liked the bag below, The Garden Party Bag $3450.00


Hermes-Garden-Party-Bag

And the quote?
"I like all things from Hermes, but the problem is that you have vile celebrities in America wearing a Birkin like it is a trophy. So I like this one that is very simple."

Haha!

The Covet List August 2014


This week on the covet list...


I'm just loving this Balenciaga Classic City Bleu Persan handbag.
You can carry it by the hand stitched handles, or use the shoulder strap. Made in Italy with soft, vintage lambskin.
I love this with jeans and a white T...

A particularly fabulous wardrobe stylist that I work with told me I should always have a pair of gold sandals, because they are timeless and go with everything. I want these ones!

Maison by La Perla Slip.
Silk satin slip embellished along the neckline with embroidery on tulle backing in the same color silk. Finished with hand-embroidered double "frastaglio" lace. You sleep better in beautiful nightwear...

One of my girlfriends has tons of David Yurman. I, on the other hand, have none. But I covet this gorgeous bracelet...

Lightly spiced citrus notes with a concentration of the whole tree, wood, leaves and fruit. I love my home to smell citrusy.
