book review {the well-dressed home}

The Well-Dressed Home by Annette Tatum has been on my wishlist since it's release earlier this year. My grandmother bought me the book for Christmas (you can buy it here) and it's everything that I had hoped it would be. The inspiration boards and mix of fashion and interiors images are really beautiful and inspiring. I like how Tatum introduces 11 'looks' (romantic, couture, classic, casual, bohemian, retro, resort, modern, eclectic, vintage and eco) in the design style guide (part II) and then applies a mix of these styles and the fashion influences behind them to the interiors shown in part III. The result is a book that flows well, has great info and provides tons of inspiration through it's gorgeous imagery. As someone who is equally inspired by fashion and interiors - and how they complement one another - it's a great addition. Photography by Karyn Millet.
