Book of the Day

When I was younger I wanted to be a fashion designer. But then I came to realize that I am awful at sewing. The worst. It's just not for me. But I know a ton of you out there are super crafty so I thought you'd love this book, Make Your Own Clothes. This book contains great photographs and easy-to-follow instructions, as well as CD of software that generates a pattern, based on one of the twenty featured in the book's pages, to fit your body exactly. All you have to do is type in your measurements and you get your very own custom pattern. Pretty amazing right?

Right now it is available on ModCloth...so make sure you stop on by before it sells out.

Today when I was browsing the new items on Mod Cloth I came across this book, Chanel: Collections and Creations by Daniele Bott. This book is a brilliant, visually stunning collection of all-things Chanel. It explores five central themes of Chanel - the suit, the camellia, jewelry, fragrances, and make-up. This really is a fabulous book for every fashionista to have in her collection.

Book of the Day

We are absolutely loving The Little Guide to Vintage Shopping by Melody Fortier. This book, which is available for purchase at ModCloth, is a great item to have if you are new to vintage shopping...or even if you are a thrift shopping diva. There is something for everyone in this book. It is full of useful information including where to locate flea markets full of overlooked treasures, spotting authentic pieces, tips on how to remove spots and stains from retro fabrics, and so much more.
