The salesman at Barnes & Noble asked me if I needed a U-Haul. It's an exciting day for design book lovers; so many fabulous releases. The most highly anticipated probably being Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People.
For me it did not disappoint. I'll need hours to really pour over it, but I can say that the mix of recent and archive photos from Vogue is just lovely. If you are drawn to stately Old World homes, I think you will love this volume.Afterthought: India Hicks' island home is not included but a few to-die-for residences shown are Janet de Botton's in Provence and Marella Agnelli's in Marrakech. Elliott Puckette's home and Tory Burch's luxe apartment also made this edition.
Last week, The Peak of Chic shared a helpful link to Annie Kelly’s book review for 1stdibs.

Show off! I'm pea green with envy. Can't be the last kid on my block.
You just reminded to go shopping! I can't wait to read them!
You have excellent reading tastes...I knew I recognized the cover of that "Tartan" book...Linda Evangelista did an editorial with famed photog Steven Meisel back in 1991. Here's the link, I thought you might enjoy some of the pictures.

Lalla Lydia,
Thanks on both counts!
I got mine too!! Yay! I've been through a bit of it- I do love de Botton's home too- that really stood out to me. Looks like I've got some reading to do tonight!
Quick question for you - what is the aqua (?) fabric used for your pillows on your couch? I spied the pillows next to the two books and thought the fabric looked like it had an interesting texture to it. Thanks!
Hi Louisa,
It's Shingu Suiting from the Silk Trading Co.
Courtney- lucky girl! I love this picture. Where is mine? It was supposed to BE here, drats! I'm waiting, Mr. Amazon man. Have a great night tonight!
