Sometimes it can feel like designer coffee table books are a dime a dozen. Yes, the photos are gorgeous and the clothes to-die-for, but they somehow all seem to leave a bit to be desired. Not so with Tory Burch‘s new (and first) book, Tory Burch In Color, which has just skyrocketed to the top of our must-buy list—and it’s not just because we love the designer.
Tory Burch In Color ($50; amazon.com) is filled with vibrant images of everything from pets to pottery spanning from the earlier half of the 20th century to the present and they’re all organized by color. Needless to say, you don’t have to be into fashion to be into this book (although there’s tons of it if you are).
Read on for three reasons why you should buy Tory Burch In Color, even if you’re not obsessed with fashion.RELATED: Runway Looks We Love: Tory Burch

2. Gorgeous Travel Photos

And on the subject of vintage photos, the book is also chock full of glamorous retro shots of Burch’s mom and dad, Reva (below, left) and Buddy, which Burch notes offer her copious amounts of design inspiration.
