Book Review: 700 Nimes Road

Okay, it is not really a book you would read, but it is one you should browse. Or buy (I bought). I was ever a huge Elizabeth Taylor fan, but Catherine Opie gained access to Taylor and her famous home (and jewels) in order to make this gorgeous collection of photographs. Perfect to place on a coffee table, it allows you to indulge in her lifestyle. Other coffee table books I own (like Graff, or Tiffany ones) are merely like a catalogue. This is history, a story...included are some pics I snapped this morning of the book.




Most homes/apartments have books (or should). Mine are not curated. They range from Plum or Lucy Sykes to Victor Hugo. My coffee table books also include a vintage Gray's Anatomy to GRAFF to this very book above...something for everyone (though clearly the Gray's Anatomy is for guests of my husband, not mine).

Even Anna Wintour seems to have a stylish collection in her chic Long Island home. And Zac Posen's use of vibrant colours seems to also dictate his choice of books...
