Review
andldquo;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 Burchandlsquo;s new (and first) book, Tory Burch: In Color, which has just skyrocketed to the top of our must-buy listandmdash;and itandrsquo;s not just because we love the designer.andrdquo;
