My local library just got this book and I had to snatch it up. I didn't know much about it other than I love Emily's blog and it was an all in one life style book.
When I got this book home I finished it one sitting and a few hours. It's such a beautiful book with a lot of great information! I am considering purchasing it for my first coffee table book at the new place!
This book was broken into seasons and for each season there is a fashion section, beauty section, home section and entertaining section. The information for each section is quite useful and the photography is just so beautiful!
Here are some of my favorite tips by season!
Spring
For each season Emily includes a closet checklist, a must have wardrobe list for each season! I definitely took notes on this section!
One of my favorite sections from spring is tips and tricks on how to shop at flea markets. Flea markets seems to be all the trend in Brooklyn lately, so I may have to head on down to shop with my new arsenal of shopping tips.
There's also a great article on organizing your closet. I love watching closet organization videos on Youtube and this is another great resource.
Summer
My favorite idea from the summer section was this Summer Nostalgia Party. Get some friends together and serve kool-aid and push pops and bring out the skip-its. I don't have a lot of friends who have outdoor space, but you better believe I will find one and have this little party!
The summer section had a beautifully photographed article on organizing your bookshelf. As a book nerd I love a beautifully style bookshelf and this article had some great tips to keep it from looking like a library.
Fall
I've always loved the look of tights or of patterned tights and the fall section had a beautiful article on how to pick the right pair of tights for the right outfit.
Fall also had a great article on how to take a good photograph. I always hate the way that I photograph so I will be putting some of these tips into effect!
Finally, winter
With a foot of snow heading my way, this article on layering was of great help! So often my layered outfits come out bulky instead of sleek.
There was a great article on how to find art on the cheap. As I have to buy EVERYTHING for my new place, cheap art is definitely going to be helpful!
All in all, I LOVED this book! If you have ever read Cupcakes and Cashmere or really just enjoy a beautifully photographed book, I highly recommend this!
