Info Post
Call me a geek - but on Christmas Day one of my favorite things to do (besides beginning the day with Bailey's, coffee and many a pressie) is curling up on the couch in front of the tree with a great book. My book wish list is always a mile long, but this is what made the short list for Christmas...

1. Kelly Wearstler - the Queen of Hollywood decor. She changed the face of decorating with the likes of her fabulous hotels:
Hard Rock Vegas Rockstar Suite, The Viceroy Palm Springs and The Avalon. With this book I would hope to channel some of that fabulousity into my own pad...

Domicilium Decoratus: Hillcrest Estate, Beverly Hills, California (Hardcover)
by Kelly Wearstler (Author)


2. Nuff said - this one drawn up by the King Pins of the fashion world - pretty much required reading.

In Vogue: the Illustrated History of the World's Most Famous Fashion Magazine (Hardcover)
by Alberto Oliva (Author), Norberto Angeletti (Author), Anna Wintour (Author), Steven Klein (Author), Grace Coddington (Author)


3. Perfect projects for the holiday season...make a chandelier...knit a scarf...if only it came with time??

Craftivity: 40 Projects for the DIY Lifestyle (Paperback)
by Tsia Carson (Author)


4. With this one I just want to know exactly what a NY socialite knows about the world of burlesque...

Pretty Things: The Last Generation of American Burlesque Queens, by Liz Goldwyn.


5. The autobiograhy of Lucky editor Jean Godfrey-June...definitely Christmas reading...
Free Gift With Purchase: My Improbable Career in Magazines and Makeup (Hardcover)
by Jean Godfrey-June (Author)


6. I can't even begin to imagine what would be behind the covers of this one...I should've put it at the top!
Karl Lagerfeld: Room Service, by Devendra Banhart, Johan Renck, and Karl Lagerfeld


7. Classic...
Audrey Style (Hardcover)
by Pamela Clark Keogh (Author), Hubert De Givenchy (Introduction)


All that being said...what I really need for Christmas is a new book shelf...seriously.
