The RR Christmas Guide - FOR HER

Today's gift pick is for the fashionista slash bookworm in your family and/or circle of friends.

Who: Girlfriend, Cousin, BFF

Category: Book

You know the one, she opts for the tangible copy of a book inside of the electronic read, not just because she loves to collect books but also because it will look oh-so chic on the coffee table next to the vase of peony roses in bloom.

The picks in this category are endless but I wanted to include two favourites of mine and one newish release.

1. Grace: a memoir by Grace Coddington - it was the it present last Christmas, but if your fashionista is fashionably late to the party, this should swiftly move to the top of your shopping list. A beautifully put together book, all about the life of one of the world's top fashion and publishing icons, with juicy anecdotes along the way, this will be a much loved edition to her book collection.

2. Irreverent by Carine Roitfeld - this is the definition of a perfect coffee table book in my opinion - heavy, meaty and filled with endless pages of beauty. I was lucky enough to receive this as present myself last year and I was blown away, so I can safely say your gal pal will be too. 

3. IT by Alexa Chung - a new release for 2013 and though smaller than the previous two options, this book can still hold its own on the coffee table. Filled with pages of photos and drawings from Alexa's own collection, this book gives a great insight into a fashion it-girl that rarely shares such personal details. And it's also damn pretty to hold and look at.

My tip, add a little merry Christmas message on the inside cover - it's something she can look back on in years to come.

If you have a fashionista in your life, she will unquestionably love these three picks!
