One of my favorite gifts to give or to get is a coffee table book. Sometimes I don’t even wait to be gifted the ones I’m eyeing (Lauren Conrad’s Celebrate is on Amazon Prime, y’all!). But now that I know how to prep for a pink balloon party à la Mrs. Tell, I’m looking to freshen up my countertops with a few more summer-ready covers penned or photographed by Dallas creatives.
Beaches by Gray Malin / $40
Don’t have the wall space but still want a colorful work from the photographer of the moment? Dallas-bred Malin’s first book makes the perfect tabletop accessory for summer.
Available at Forty Five Ten
Wanderlust by Michelle Nussbaumer / $50 (pre-order)
Designer Michelle Nussbaumer created her own textile line, designed a Goop pop-up for Gwyneth Paltrow, owns the magical Ceylon et Cie in the Design District, and recently penned a travel-inspired interior design book for Rizzoli that’s bound to be brilliant.
Will be available at Ceylon et Cie in the Design District
Soupelina Soup Cleanse / $15.62
This soup-tastic book featuring (quite possibly) the first cleanse we could ever get behind was photographed by Dallas-based Pär Bengtsson. Look for more of Bengtsson’s fantastic work in our upcoming July/August issue.
