My Collection

I guess i didn't realize this but i collect coffee table books - especially fun fashion/designer books. I've always loved browsing bookstores - but i never actually thought of myself as being a book collector.

Anyway, my new book for my collection is Lauren Conrad's new book, "Style." It was a gift from my favorite stylist, Alba Nela - she's so good to me. Lauren has great tips on Fashion, Beauty, and Lifestyle. I hold it high up there with Nina Garcia's "Little Black Book."

Right on the nail

I'm infatuated with bright nailpolish colors for the spring and summer. I love the look of short, manicured nails with a pop of color, whether its Olivia Palermo's cherry red color, Whitney Port's currently popular Coral color, or even Lauren Conrad's hot fuschia color. Just picture them holding their cup of coffee from Starbucks or flipping through the pages of a magazine with their fab nails.

Now, I'm a matchy, matchy girl and i always match my fingers and my toes. So picture those hot colors will pretty sandals :) Not sure how many more mani/pedi's I can get done before baby comes so not sure yet what color i want to decide on. But here's some pics to look at for fun from http://www.weheartit.com/ :) Granted i probably wouldn't rock a lot of these looks, but they're fun to look at

Book Worm

I've been itching to get some new books, but just wasn't sure if it was worth it for me to get. Things have been so busy and I already feel like there's not enough time for anything, except getting this house ready for baby. But then I decided, no, i need to make time for me time, so i went to Amazon and went a little book happy.

It started by me looking up Kelly Cutrone. Since I've been catching up on "The City," I've been seeing her and as bitchy as she is, she got to where she is now for a reason. She must have been doing something right. She's one of the movers and shakers that i love to read about so i googled her to see if she had a book, and of course, voila! She has one. And of course when you go on Amazon, they have a list below that says, other's who bought this book also bought.....and surprise, surprise, i got suckered into buying more. Plus its free shipping if you spend over $25.

So, here's a list of the 3 books i decided to get:

"If you have to cry, go outside." By Kelly Cutrone

"La Candy" by Lauren Conrad

'The Gospel accordinging to Coco Chanel" by Karen Karbo

Now don't get me wrong, none of these books are meant to help me save the world. I just wanted light reading for what's peaking my passion right now. And right now, that passion is FASHION. Not that it ever changes.....

These next 2 books are next on my list to order. They're not out yet so i just figured I'd wait to order them. I don't want them sitting in my bookcase collecting dust next to my "What to expect" series incase I'm too tired being a mommy to read anymore books.

"The Carrie Diaries" By Candace Bushnell - author of Sex in the City

"Heart of the Matter" by Emily Giffin - one of my favorite authors who's book launch happens to be here in Atlanta on May 11, 2010 - wish i had someone to go with!!!!

So that's my book update for now. No more, "Your pregnancy, week by week" for now, i want a real book!!!!
