Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 3:44PM Chic Giveaway: Travel à la TASCHEN
Style is as much about what you eat, what you listen to and what you read, as what you wear. Every stylista worth her salt should have in her possession a collection of impossible-to-lift-with-one-hand coffee table books about fashion capitals (read: Paris, New York, London). Whether you escape there regularly or are simply an urbanite at heart, TASCHEN books are tops at virtually transporting you straight to the heart of your fave city. Anytime I feel that pang of wanderlust, I open up one of these books and there I am, sitting in the Café Flore, listening to Edith Piaf as I sip my café crème. On my New York kinda days, I'll make a mental map of the cool stores & restaurants I have to hit up next time I'm in town. Somehow, as horribly homebound as I might be, a great book always makes me feel like I've had a little mini-break.
Coffee table books are one of the best kinds of luxuries but might not be something you often buy yourself. Luckily, Chapters/Indigo just sent me 4 of my favourite TASCHEN books to give away to you! One winner will receive two of the ultimate city guides, Taschen's New York and Taschen's Paris. The second winner will receive two super stylish photographic journeys: Paris: Portrait of a City and London: Portrait of a City.

My favorite stylish read from Chapters-Indigo is Kate Spade's New York.
These books are gorgeous! Thank you for the opportunity to enter!
"Influence" by Mary-Kate Olsen & Ashley Olsen. Nice read, lots of personal expressions of their fashion influences, cameos from lots of famous fashion designers!
I'm currently loving Kate Spade's new book -- so stylish!
