Hello Fabulistas! I've been working on updating my library, and looking for fab design books to have on hand. Books are a great source of inspiration for me, especially design books. What do you do when you have an inspiration block? I turn to books that show fabulous settings and sometimes tell me how to achieve those looks. There are so many design books I'm looking to invest in, but right now, here are my top 10. American Fashion Designers At Home What better inspiration that fashion? Fashion designers tend to think outside of the box, and their homes are usually FAB, so of course I love to look at their spaces. What amazing eye-candy! This book features over 100 members of the Council of Fashion, including Carolina Herrera, Betsey Johnson and Bob Mackie.

We like homes to feel personal and lived in. Undecorate showcases 20 homes throughout the country, which are all decorated very well, but all a bit imperfect.

Home by The Novogratz I was blown away by this book the first time I flipped through it. I'm a fan of The Novogratz because of their style and because they can turn nothing into fabulous very quickly. They have great vision! Their new book, Home, showcases many of their projects, but what's interesting is that for each home, they teach us a little DIY! With this book you can get a little Novogratz style for yourself.
