books!

after receiving my copy of advanced style yesterday (amazing and hilarious)...

 i was inspired to do a little post about some of my favorite books.

since i cannot afford to purchase every high end clothing item i want or buy expensive art, i buy books. 

lots of books! i really cannot get enough of them. 

these are a few of my favorites that i own:

face of fashion this was the companion book for the national portrait gallery show

juergen teller go-sees

misshapes

rebel youth

parisian chic
