Everything’s Better With Feathers

I admit, I am quite the feather enthusiast (it even says so on my Tumblr…so you know it’s the truth). How I haven’t posted about my favorite feather finds yet is beyond me. So, today on ChiCityfashion…it’s all about feathers!

Fashion Books For Your Holiday Wish List

I’ve never been a big reader but I absolutely love fashion books (probably because they’re mostly made up of large, visually appealing images). I’ve been collecting them for the last few years but there’s always more to add to my wishlist. I compiled some that I already own along with a few that are currently on my mind, but regardless…there’s a fashion book for everyone and these books would make any fashion enthusiast quite the happy camper this holiday season.

PhotobucketFashion for beginners: The Little Dictionary of Fashion

PhotobucketFor those who don’t mind a little bit of nudity: Kate Moss by Mario Testino

PhotobucketA lot of pretty pictures: Harper’s Bazaar Greatest Hits

**I just bought this over the weekend and met Glenda Bailey herself…such an inspirational woman! This book is awesome.

PhotobucketTop of the list (Carine can do no wrong): Carine Roitfelt Irreverent

Photobucket Fashion foodies rejoice: American Fashion Cookbook
