I have just added a new one to the list; “<em><strong><a href="http://www.shopassouline.com/9782759404711.html">American Fashion Designers At Home</a></strong></em>.”  It’s written by Rima Suqi, a contributor to T and The New York Times and it also benefits the <a href="http://www.cfda.com/">CFDA</a> Foundation. The awesome thing about this <a href="http://www.shopassouline.com/9782759404711.html">book</a> is that it showcases the homes of 115 <a href="http://www.cfda.com/">CFDA</a> members, from infamous names like Diane von Furstenberg and Kate Spade to relative newcomers like Band of Outsiders’ Scott Sternberg. These fabulous interiors are just a sneak peek of what you’ll see in the book.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicbtR1ChsX1rN2YWB7yx-mHhjzJhuAkHyXnypVGLMoOnaokpIoBXnN6NXAdwsS2EJ9UQWirbrFaZUh6iszF4wy68g9Q3W_0jy-KQtTt9JPkzieHERUNSzTVrMxiJq-euNZ3f_pR975gQEE/s1600-h/NYT%5B6%5D.jpg"><img alt="NYT" border="0" height="639" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiops89Wvwkq04YhJ1zVVHsxFzAxn7omwJ-O-1rzTbhI1yu57rO4tUzLZNx_POpayG33oLm6uCO4AMIpcGF7txCglSIBvHlb8OgK-GCkz8fllZwjQDogv70_lTCmMbM-G_cp1vTG08FCvfJ/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="NYT" width="504" /></a> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Dining room of Betsey Johnson-Of course, the wall colour would be pink too!:-)</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1CtSECBYxPOQZRZxgPetFoXzHQUTxZtrFIPKHCBUcAOf-ZBFTiHcL1Vgbkfko6lInJpq0dnkWta0HmlD59rT9jh2K5p2rOICIphB-WMyCb_SR9Lm_j-D1U36lEp9a8cG0fnm7QEBwVHpQ/s1600-h/NYT3%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="NYT3" border="0" height="432" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFfpbu_s3La0ri398Uxlln0iATon-Jet1KqHgHSxI-C5BG1sZxUhzZ77Dq9AjwJ1Z7SaMk11WMyzGlwsEUraE6SRQJYbsEW97rQQJkHupzk_MGaXkM2RQMtVt7yLBJaD0jStTN_xcpjfMw/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="NYT3" width="644" /></a><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Kate Spade’s Park Avenue apartment</span> </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIFLpMMGaXCiHwcA2rsGQSu8pGp3YjLe0Oa0kZuDOd39muINJC4nmpaZbWR_9-8Y6sJ6tQ2Vhyphenhyphen0Ki1zz85EjSJp7RIyrmswLicuGyuiI7KfZgPP6YhTvWHvlDSO66EKPlbnlbJDrx8S8iO/s1600-h/NYT4%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="NYT4" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7FARxjCrXCP_m3c8Of5s1lxwqOFupsFx9jHx4vs-7RP6-e_0Y4vFGRCUX1luU_QNZ4vlN9aam4M-cPsVOAgQaf4jrdgh5hAzEjhnrBLcUmTeQjL0h0Z_aLlQVzn5L1BBaEz45rdA__ECM/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="NYT4" width="585" /></a><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Can you believe that this is actually a bedroom? it belongs to the wife(Annette) of Oscar de la Renta and was designed by architect, Ernesto Buch.</span> </div><div align="center"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiue5rgwNw4mFmu5DodbDUkeXDJLL-wGI7U4LwIegar9JO6LzdepinmPdDq8T3PYmSE2bJfEGvJjEYWaNWV8SG1p-C9GyxjRnMSRHhZnm6DRRqzEKyx9SxQCxuyf3iOhPABvRyC8p2h3vmQ/s1600-h/NYT5%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="NYT5" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxmzu4rkoau6ES1LLsLhQ6jBrQi1ONYLFVYmWqFS190f8MHGQb0uGMjD_mbX8m_mRWS-zgsZJ-s-44XSZyp6fwESPBrL0U5hjq-cvQPRAx7t3u2vmicaUCSP3AxkuKqWLoF6NTZKkwqfaR/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="NYT5" width="615" /></a> <br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Tory Burch’s Manhattan living room.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div align="center">There is no doubt that this book is filled with lots of  “design goodness”.
