Reading List

I don't tend to buy a lot of fashion or style books. Mainly because I get a lot of my style tips from magazines and blogs and don't feel like I need a book to really tell me how to style myself. However, I recently got these two that I had to share as I thought that they were great books.

I don't think either of these books need an introduction. I'm sure everyone who reads my blogs knows The Sartorialist and Nina Garcia.

The Little Black Book of Style

I held off on buying her books for awhile but after looking through it at Barnes and Noble one day, I decided to bring it home with me. I love that each chapter covers a very basic topic that she would expand on. Her tips all pretty much align with my own style philosophy so I didn't learn anything new but I still loved reading through it. It was really easy to read, I read it in like 10 minutes.

The neat touch was all the illustrations by Ruben Toldeo sprinkled throughout the book.

My favorite quote in the book.

My favorite topic "The upmost importance of shoes".
I love that she starts out with "You can never have enough high heels"

I liked this book a lot just for how well it was written (easy to read) and the illustrations. I think I might get her other books just to have the collection.

The Sartorialist

The Sartorialist book is a compilation of the pictures he's taken for his blog with only just a little bit of writing. The book is really thick which I love, so many pages of inspiration!

If you love his blog, you have to get this book! Plus I love that it's only $20 (on Barnes & Noble). Most books with a ton of images like this cost a lot more.

Lula Magazine

I've had this magazine for awhile but wanted to mention it too. I had never heard of it until I was in a boutique and saw it on their table and flipped through it. This magazine is so full of beautiful images that I had to go and buy it myself. It's not only the images, but the styling and even the writing that's gorgeous. It's not just a flimsy magazine either, the paper they use is really thick, it's more like a fashion book than a magazine.

I believe it's a UK magazine, I got my issue at Barnes & Noble (the store, not online) and it was about $15.

Here's our collection of coffee table books currently on our table. All the sneaker ones are obviously my husband's. :) The one that's turned around where you can't see the book title is a sneaker book as well.

Yup, that us, fashion, sneakers and dogs!
