FRIENDS WITH STYLE {CARVER}

Kate Spade earrings // Ralph Lauren sweater // West Avenue monogram necklace

Paige Denim jeans // Cartier watch // J.Crew ballet flats

I've loved Carver's style as long as I've known her, which takes us back a solid 15 years to elementary school in Connecticut. She now lives in SoHo (soon to be West Village) and works at Ralph Lauren (just like Emily!). How cute is her very Design Darling color combo? Monogram, stripes, pop of color — check, check, check. She might have the most unique monogram of all time given that her last name starts with Q. And I love that she's not afraid to rock white jeans before Memorial Day... Rules were made to be broken, friends!

COLLECTING COFFEE TABLE BOOKS

Ask and you shall receive! A bunch of you asked about my favorite design and fashion books after I took this picture of my bookshelves on Instagram (and the second here) and I'm more than happy to share. I posted about a few favorites back in this post but my collection has grown leaps and bounds since then and I'm constantly finding new titles that need to find their way to my doorstep. (Take note, gift givers! There are few things I love to receive more than a good book. Unless it's something monogrammed... But you already knew that.) Without further ado, a few current favorites and a few I'm eager to  add to my shelves:

The New York Times 36 Hours // Impact // The Trench Book

Vintage Cocktails // Condé Nast Traveler Photographs // Things We Love

Fashion and Art Collusion // I Love Your Style // Grace

Gypset Travel // The Elements of Style // The Big Book of Chic

Do you collect coffee table books? I'm dying to hear your favorites!
