Influence

It's no secret that I love a beautiful big fashion coffee table book .

I love to display them like artwork throughout my room by standing them either on shelves or window sills. My favourite though, would have to be Influence by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; where the two sit down and conduct interviews with some of the most respected, inspirational and influential people around them.

Did Karl Lagerfeld talk about his weight loss? (Yes.) Did Terry Richardson allow MK and Ashley to leave his studio without posing for his notorious lens? (No.) Is Diane von Furstenberg a feminine yet powerful force of nature? (Absolutely.)

Their stories, bodies of work, and lives are like open vaults of creativity for me. I turn to the people on these pages, in one way or another, to keep me afloat. And at just $39.95 - everyone can afford to be influenced.
