Bringing Home the Birkin

Some of you may have already heard about Bringing Home the Birkin. I read this book over the weekend I have to say that is funny, light and keeps you interested from start to end. Michael’s adventurous and lucky move to Barcelona opened a whole new fabulous career no one had ever considered before; country hopping around the world in pursuit of the rich and famous “it” bag. This book is entertaining; after reading it I’m almost certain that the so famous waiting list for a Hermes Birkin does not exist, or does it?

“The summer’s most adorable chick-lit book…smart, fizzy, and amusingly snarky, with attitude to burn” -NEW YORK TIMES”The prose is vivid, the tone lighthearted. Mr. Tonello comes off as…sassy, plucky, optimistic-oh, and he can get you a Birkin.” -WALL STREET JOURNAL

And you may be asking what’s the point of this post, well this book was so much fun that I wanted to share it with you by giving it away to one of my lovely readers. All you need to do is, if you are a blogger go into your dashboard to the left lower corner and add this humble blog to your followers, I may even be already following yours. If you are a reader leave me a comment and the lucky winner will be announced on Monday the 24th.

domino, The Book of Decorating is the result of the very and still mourning magazine’s philosophy;  Making living with style more approachable to those who love living beautiful within a budget.  Anything I say wouldn’t be enough to describe my disappointment when I found out that one of my favorite magazines was closing.  Lucky for many and me they left behind a fantastic book with all of their greatest rooms ever featured.   It explains how to decorate your home and which pieces to select depending on the look you are going for. Because I love this book so much I was so happy when the generous people at Simon & Schuster decided to giveaway two copies to two lucky Belle Vivir readers.  The winner will be selected on April 10th, Friday.  To enter, all you have to do is e-mail me at bellevivir@gmail.com describing how you would decorate a room using the gorgeous green Chinoiserie wallpaper on the book cover.  The two entries with the most original use of the wallpaper will win. Good Luck!
