One of the things I’ve been really trying to do as of late is build out my “library.” Honestly, I have a serious problem when I go into bookstores… but it’s normally just books I want to read. Now, I’ve been gravitating towards beautiful coffee table books.
I just can’t get enough. I had to stop myself from walking out of Barnes and Noble the other week with three books on pictures of Central Park. Not okay. (But also kind of exactly okay?)
I’ve had my eye on the Kate Spade Things We Love book for a while. And I finally pulled the trigger. Oh oh oh! I love it.
One of my friends has it so I’ve flipped through it a bunch of times. I always find something new within the pages. The cover is really cute, but when you take off the dust jacket, it is NEON pink. It certainly pops.
(And ‘pops of color’ just happens to be one of the Things We Love.)
I made an Instagram video of a couple of my favorite parts of the book– and it made the popular page!
Do you have a coffee table book collection? What’s your favorite one?
"As a young girl, Louis Vuitooooon…" Instead of coffee table books, I just keep all my issues of The New Yorker and TIME on the table. I guess I'm a hoarder in that respect. Not that great. Your Friend, Jess
I loooove coffee table books too! I had to return a birthday gift to Kate Spade and after I picked out earrings and checked out, I noticed the book on my way out of the store and immediately turned around to re-exchange! The girl probably hated me haha.
I also order coffee table books used from Amazon. Just make sure it's marked "Very Good" or "Excellent" condition! I've gotten $40 books for $6 plus $3.99 shipping.
I just bought this book and can't wait to read it! I'm also trying to expand my coffee table book collection and recently added the Vogue boxset to my collection as well. I love that it comes with all three Vogue books!
Tonight we achieved the impossible! @wishbonekitchen’s swamp soup received a “no notes” stamp of approval from Mike 🙌🏻 it’s filling, healing, and so fresh! Highly recommend!!! 💚🌿🪀♻️🦖
If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL. Right now, eligible new subscribers can sign up to get your first 3 months of #Audible for $0.99/month! #AudiblePartner #amazoninfluencer @amazoninfluencerprogram
Can we bring this kind of outfit of the day video over to this app 👀 tell me if you like it or hate it- in light of everything, trying to experiment! If you want links to what I’m wearing, leave a comment with “OUTFIT” and I’ll send it over!
Sorry for the jump scare… but go ahead and add “great at multitasking” to my resume 😆 is it habit stacking or just survival mode? Every morning, I’ve been doing a red light session with my @omniluxled face mask, while listening to an audiobook, and I spend the 10 minutes tidying up. I make the beds, put laundry away, straighten up the boys’ toys… I always feel on top of the world and like I can do anything 😆
I’ve been hesitant to add new skincare products to my daily routine because I don’t want to disrupt my healthy skin… I tested @oakessentials skincare line though and it’s now a staple in my weekly routine. I’m using these three 2-3x a week (the night before hair wash days!) and my skin is SO moisturized and hydrated!!
(Why has no one been using this song for this trend? Literally all that I hear whenever I see another “ins and outs” trend 😆)
My 2025 Ins & Outs:
IN More freedom, firmer boundaries Silver Red as a neutral Spontaneous lunch dates Photography Redefining perfection Silk scarves Going to the movies Trying new hobbies Luxurious showers
OUT Sticking with a book I’m not enjoying Letting my car be a mess Guilt around sweet treats Unnecessary people pleasing The comparison game Staying up too late Over complicating things Holding in emotions
I am really excited to get the Humans of New York coffee table book when it comes out! It is going to be so interesting 🙂

This book looks amazing! Your Instagram video is so cool – you should definitely do a blog post on how you made that with the music!! So cool.
Love that you're venturing into Instagram videos– they are so fun! Great coffee table book choice.
