Booking It

Great find today on Melrose Place - a store called LEAD APRON, they deal with rare and out of print fashion, photography and art books. The space they are in is so gorgeous, between that and all the fantastic books I wanted to get my hands on, I could have just moved in!

If you are in Los Angeles its a must!

 

We also checked out the new ASSOULINE   store down the street which was a major source of fashion book inspiration - the Chanel set of books was spectacular. It's interesting as it's located inside the restaurant BASTIDE. Strange concept I know, but somehow it works. Director Joe Pytka owns it and it's his unique vision that made it happen. We didn't get a chance to eat at Bastide, but I did see the menu and I am going back next time we are up there.

British Invasion

Received my copy of TWIN Magazine from the UK and I love it. More like a book (its hardcover) with so many fabulous pictures. Craving the next "issue".

Heidilicious

New photo book by Rankin featuring Heidi Klum. Makes me look at Heidi in a whole new way - love it!

Color Makes Me Happy

Kelly Wearstler's new book, HUE. She is a design genius. If you are ever in Palm Springs or Santa Monica - the Vice Roy Hotels are done by her. I could live in the Palm Springs Vice Roy, it makes me happy just looking at it....

A Visual Fashion Feast

Three of my new favorite fashion books....
