Fashion Book

Shopping is usually so much fun, but when it comes time for shopping for the holidays, it can be stressful. This Christmas, be sure to check out Barnes & Nobel and pick up the perfect book for everyone on your shopping list! I understand not everyone out there worships fashion as much as we do... but if they did, then they would surely love all of these fabulous books!

The Inspiration Book:
100 Years of Fashion Illustrations, Cally Blackman

Over 400 stunning fashion illustrations and is full of beauty. Truly Magnificent.

The Coffee Table Book:
American Style, Kelly Killoren Bensimon

I received this book as a gift from a fashion editor, believe me, its good. This book does a superb job of showing the history of style in America. It is filled with wonderful photographs and captions. A coffee table would be lucky to display such a great book.

The How-To Book:
How to Walk in High Heels: The Girl's Guide to Everything, Camilla Morton

This book is as good as it sounds. I've read it multiple times. Trust me, you'll wonder how you got through life without it.

The Interview Book:
Influence, Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen

This book is full of inspiring fashion interviews. If you have an interest in fashion, photography, and the surrounding culture, you will fully enjoy these interviews. Look forward to interviews with Karl Lagerfeld and many more!

The Fictional Book:
Confessions of a Shopaholic, Sophie Kinsella

I read this book in 2001 the year it originally came out. The instant I turned the page to the last chapter, I knew this book would make a great movie. Granted, I was only 15 years old at the time, but still. The movie looks amazing, but trust me, so was the novel!

The Stylist in a Book:
The One Hundred: The Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own, Nina Garcia

Just like having your own personal stylist to help you clean out & fill up your closet! Garcia helps women of all ages edit their own personal style voice. This book also has a wonderful collection of illustrations as well.

The BFF Book:
Barbie, Assouline

This one is a bit of a splurge, but we couldn't help but fall in love with it. Published in honor of Barbie's 50th anniversary, it is filled with pages covered in photographs of Barbie being dressed in endless designers and quotes from various fashion icons. A great gift for the young at heart.
