TRAVEL BOOKS : GYPSET TRAVEL

Hello all! It's been 2 months to the day since I've been on the blog, but alas, here I am again, letting my fellow travel and design junkies know about a fantastic new book coming out next month. Following her best-selling 2009 title Gypset Style, which I raved about a while back, travel writer Julia Chaplin explores the little-known enclaves of gypsy jet-setters around the world. From the Aeolian Islands in Italy to Lamu, Kenya; North Goa, India; and José Ignacio, Uruguay—Gypset Travel delves into the glamorous yet casual lifestyle of these bohemian wanderers through intimate photography and first-person anecdotes. This book looks just as good as the first if not better with this gorgeous cover, can't wait to get my hands on it.

Pre-order Gypset Travel at almost half price (due Dec. 4), but take note! I don't think it will stay this cheap for long especially with the holidays coming and this making a great gift.

GYPSET STYLE : GYPSY + JETSET

Seems Gypset Style has been catching on since I last posted about the the fantastic coffee table book of the same name. I love these effortless, chic pieces... perfect for those jet setting gypsy jaunts. Isn't that electric blue on the clutch is phenomenal? Clutch / Necklace / Ring / Book

TRAVEL BOOKS : In the Spirit of St. Barths

Sundays are great for some reading inspiration so here is a coffee table book I've been eyeballing for weeks, In the Spirit of St. Barths. The author gives a personal look at this chic Caribbean island – think yachts, champagne, beautiful beaches and beautiful people. The last chapter contains hotel picks, villa rentals, restaurants, bars, clubs, and shops so it almost doubles as a nice guidebooks. The eye candy in this one made me want to get to St. Barth's sooner rather than later!

Gypset Style

A friend recently gave me a travel book of sorts called Gypset Style by Julia Chaplin who coined the term to describe "an international community of artists, designers, surfers, and bon vivants who live and work around the globe. The Gypset is about fusing the ease and carefree lifestyle of a Gypsy with the sophistication of the jet set." While it may simply look like a great coffee table book, it also serves as a remarkable reminder to live life freely, beautifully, and happily. You are the only person who can design your life to be what you want.

Pick up Gypset Style here.  You can also now pre-order Gypset Travel at almost half off.
