One of the things I’ve been really trying to do as of late is build out my “library.” Honestly, I have a serious problem when I go into bookstores… but it’s normally just books I want to read. Now, I’ve been gravitating towards beautiful coffee table books.
I just can’t get enough. I had to stop myself from walking out of Barnes and Noble the other week with three books on pictures of Central Park. Not okay. (But also kind of exactly okay?)
I’ve had my eye on the Kate Spade Things We Love book for a while. And I finally pulled the trigger. Oh oh oh! I love it.
One of my friends has it so I’ve flipped through it a bunch of times. I always find something new within the pages. The cover is really cute, but when you take off the dust jacket, it is NEON pink. It certainly pops.
(And ‘pops of color’ just happens to be one of the Things We Love.)
I made an Instagram video of a couple of my favorite parts of the book– and it made the popular page!
Do you have a coffee table book collection? What’s your favorite one?
"As a young girl, Louis Vuitooooon…" Instead of coffee table books, I just keep all my issues of The New Yorker and TIME on the table. I guess I'm a hoarder in that respect. Not that great. Your Friend, Jess
I loooove coffee table books too! I had to return a birthday gift to Kate Spade and after I picked out earrings and checked out, I noticed the book on my way out of the store and immediately turned around to re-exchange! The girl probably hated me haha.
I also order coffee table books used from Amazon. Just make sure it's marked "Very Good" or "Excellent" condition! I've gotten $40 books for $6 plus $3.99 shipping.
I just bought this book and can't wait to read it! I'm also trying to expand my coffee table book collection and recently added the Vogue boxset to my collection as well. I love that it comes with all three Vogue books!

When your toothbrush (@shoptrask!) is so cute you ALMOST don’t want to use it! I considered “saving” it (for what? I don’t know) and decided to ignore my instinct and enjoy it every day! I often have to remind myself about the number of stickers I didn’t use as a kid because I was “saving” them… or stationery collecting dust in a drawer because I was “saving” them… or candles that went unlit because I was “saving” them… or even a cute outfit I was “saving” for a special occasion. Trying to be better about using the things I have and love without guilt!!
I’ve been loving wearing my scarf collection and I’ve been getting questions about how I tie them! This is probably the way I wear it most- it’s super easy and the trick is to not be overly fussy with it. Go for it and zhuzh it up a little but don’t make it too perfect! Goal is effortless!
Fold the silk scarf across the middle to create a long triangle. Holding the two corners, twist the triangle back *towards* you a few times. While holding the corners, wrap behind your neck crossing behind you and pulling the corners back to the front of your neck. Tie once, then again to secure. I like to tuck mine into a button down!
PS I got this Hermes scarf as a souvenir while in Paris!
A wild Saturday night around here… and I wouldn’t want it any other way! A relaxing shower, clean hair, cozy bedtime routine, sourdough, laundry, a clean playroom, mahjong, (a little sweet treat… or two), needlepoint, skincare, and a good book! What could be better???
An evening routine as a mom of two with timestamps!
@mackenziechilds has done it again! Say hello to Mocha Check, the latest pattern in the MacKenzie-Childs family. I am loving how the neutral but warm tones brighten up my office space! Swipe to see how I’ve incorporated the pieces throughout my office. #MCPartner #MCMochaCheck
Getting ready for the day and need help picking out which shoe to wear! My whole outfit is head to toe @amazon! Are we feeling the sneakers or the kitten heel mules?

This book looks amazing! Your Instagram video is so cool – you should definitely do a blog post on how you made that with the music!! So cool.
Love that you're venturing into Instagram videos– they are so fun! Great coffee table book choice.
