Coffee Table Chick Lit, Fashion Week Edition (via Amazon)

Hey loves

An Amazon email blast hit my inbox this morning with some fashion reads they wanted to make me aware of. Amazon knows I have a “coffee table chick lit” spending habit and scrounged up some reads for me (and for you!) post- fashion week edition. Here are the leads:

Glamour: A History

The Standard reviews, “This book captures the tantalizing appeal of glamour while exposing its sleazy underside.” If this glossy read must grace your coffee table, then you must act fast because there are only two copies left before restock…

The Sartorialist

We’ve been following the blog for ages. Now, you can finger-flip through pages of Scott Schuman’s streetwear photography and bookmark your faves the old-fashioned way.

Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion, and Architecture

Monogram your coffee table with this bound book of the Louis Vuitton brand patronages and creative associations.

Underneath It All

Besides looking chic on your coffee table, Underneath It All will teach you how to build a lingerie wardrobe with the perfect pieces for every occasion, from bare essentials to sultry extras.

Entertainment Review: How to Walk in High Heels (book) by Camilla Morton

Among great their great clothing, accessories, and housewares selection, Urban Outfitters also showcases an ecclectic mix of books and other knick knacks. A flip through a few pages of this book, How to Walk in High Heels by Camilla Morton, and I was hooked. Sure, it doesn’t have any ‘real’ substance or content but what all-frills girl doesn’t enjoy a dose of all-frills wisdom and how-to’s such as How to cope With a chipped nail, How to shape your eyebrows, and even How to surf the web unnoticed in the office? Well maybe it’s not completely all-frills, but every girl should know these sorts of things.

This is similar to another book on my shelf by Jane Buckingham: The Modern Girl’s Guide To Life. They’re both high-maintenance essentials, the latter being more for the mature diva, also with more content. I recommend both books.

This is my adaptation of the smoky eye from the video below. Alternatively, I used a coppery orange on the inner eyes. This look as a day look would be pushing the envelope, however if you’re daring you could transition this from day to night by adding false lashes for extra oomph. Thanks for the inspiration, Precious! (The last picture is for good measure, as J insists that I never smile).

Toodles!
