My own little library


That's the right side of my bookcase. Or as I'd like to call it: my own little library. Sure, a handful of books and a few magazines aren't exactly a fully functioning library.. But I like the idea of owning one!
This place is literally a case filled with inspiration. I love going through these magazines. Visually stunning, a true feast for the eyes!

A detail of my bookcase. On the right side the Vogue section.


Some of my favorites include V Magazine (the Asian issue), the Love Magazine (No.6 Super Natural), Vogue Octobre 2011 and Noi.Se Magazine (number 26). I also own two Vogue Collections, which I love!


This pile of books and magazines is the newest additions to the library.
The Selby Is In Your Place by Todd Selby (bought at De Slegte in Amsterdam), Numéro, L'Officiel, Vogue Paris, Citizen K International, Jalouse (these were those magazines from Amiens I told about in my previous blog post), Lula (bought at Selexyz Scheltema in Amsterdam), Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty (bought online at the official Alexander McQueen store, with thanks to Catherine Day!).

The wait for the Alexander McQueen book was dreadful, it took over two weeks to get here (may I throw a fist or two at the British Royal Mail?) but when it finally got here... It sounds cliché, but honstly no words can express how beautiful it is. This book bible exceeded all my expectations.

I read a lot about The Selby Is In Your Place on the internet, so when I saw it at De Slegte I bought it without hesitation. It's an amazing book indeed and while going through it, I found my soulmate... It's Karl Lagerfeld!

Karl Lagerfeld's uhm... Library.

Maybe he started like me as well, with an old bookcase and only a handful of books and a few magazines. :)

  1. My uncle and his wife have a "home library". Their entire apartment is filled with books. I'm super jealous, it looks great.

    I'm glad you got that book finally!
