I love beautiful books which look really nice on show either on your coffee table or on shelves.

I have recently added to my collection so wanted to share some of my older ones with you as well as some of my more recent purchases.

This is Unseen Vogue. I have had this book for years but I absolutely love it. It’s a huge book full of beautiful fashion photography through the years from 1920 to 2001. The photos are actually ones that Vogue didn’t actually publish. It features amazing fashion and its great to see who its changed over the years. It features some of the biggest models and some of the best photographers.

Some of my favourite photographs include this classic Kate Moss from 1993 –

The beautiful Sophie Dahl in 2000 –

Talisa Soto in 1982 –

Claudia Schiffer in 1995 –

I love Fleur De Force and her Luxe Life book is crammed full of great tips and ideas for being your best self. It has make-up tips, DIY ideas, recipes and Hair style ideas. It has a stunning white and rose gold cover so makes a perfect coffee table book.

Another great blogger is Estee Lalonde and her book Bloom is all about becoming who you are meant to be and importantly, makes you think about what you want from life and what makes you happy.

I have Lydia Elise Millen to thank for this next book. I saw her interview Maria Hatzistefanis who is the founder of Rodial and I just loved her attitude, style and I was intrigued about how she became so successful. This book is her story about how she got to where she is now. I haven’t read this one yet but can’t wait to get started on it.

Can anyone suggest any more coffee table books to add to my collection?

Thanks for reading

Louise
