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!

Wearing vs styling an outfit with a bump! I feel so much better when I’m wearing something cute (dress well to feel well maybe?)… I’ve been fighting the temptation to wear comfy clothes while pregnant though! So far I have found blazers and cardigans an easy way to dress up my second trimester bump, especially as we enter fall.
Apple picking throughout the years 🍎 I can’t wait to go this year. It’s one of my favorite fall activities to do… I don’t even care that it’s usually expensive and crowded and basic, I live for it!
Fall for me means tailored blazers, touches of corduroy, and cozy sweaters… @jcrew, as always, has us covered with all the classics! Shop my head to toe look with @shop.ltk #liketkit https://liketk.it/4iOR7 #injcrew #ad
When @beaconhillbooksandcafe lives up to the hype and THEN SOME 🐿️ ✨ I got a little tour of this special bookstore from the owner herself and I couldn’t be more grateful. There is something magical about any bookshop, but when one is this thoughtful it’s hard not to fall in love with reading all over again. @sisterparishdesign textiles, @farrowandball coordinating paint, bestsellers & classics commingled on curated shelves. A little squirrel mascot named Paige, with her own story and her own entrance and her own little Boston-inspired house hidden away in the bottom of a shelf. Every detail is perfect, especially those on the children’s floor, where little ones can enter through a tiny door and press a big red button to activate a model train that circles the space.
I am really excited to get the Humans of New York coffee table book when it comes out! It is going to be so interesting 🙂

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.
