FASHION FLASHBACK: FASHION/LIFESTYLE BOOKS ADDED TO MY LIBRARY THIS YEAR

Everyone who reads my blog knows my book obsession, especially fashion and lifestyle books…Here are the ones I added to my library this year (I use Library Thing to catalog all my fashion books, it is brilliant!).  I have reviewed some of them in nenasnotes will do more in 2017.

In addition, it will be the first book for my upcoming Fashion Book Club!     http://www.StephanieLakeDesign.com                                                                                  https://www.amazon.com/Bonnie-Cashin-Chic-Where-:Find/dp/0847848051)

imageAnother birthday gift mostly pictures and purchased at the Randolph Street Market, a fun glimpse into the world of millinery!

imageA gift to myself also purchased at the Randolph Street Market, not read as yet

imageA new, actually a vintage book,  received as a gift for Christmas.  I love all of Fleur Cowles work including her Flair yearbook as well as her Flair magazines.  The cover of this book features Tiger Flower, I actually did a needlepoint pillow with this image.  I worked with her when she came to Saks on a book tour.

I think there are a couple more, rather a short grouping this year…I’ll have to make up for it in 2017!
