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!
What is better than a classic shift dress in the summer? This one is so cute– it’s constructed beautifully with lining and pockets and a sweet button closure at the neckline. Comment “shift dress” and I’ll send you a link with all the details of my outfit!
A follower DMed me this weekend inviting me to her mom’s house to cut some peonies from her garden. Garden is an understatement. It’s an exquisite path of peonies as far as the eye can see. I came a little past peak (and after a heavy rain storm)…. even still it was so magical it took my breath away. Oh and the scent? HEAVENLY. I cut a few stems to bring home and my whole car was filled with a pure peony fragrance. (Thank you, thank you!!!)

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.
