Colin Cowie Chic, The Guide To Life As It Should Be, by Colin Cowie, is a pretty little book. Small in size, the texturized dust jacket paper is embossed in a rich brown croc print. The pages are filled with bright fuchsia and avocado blocks of text and color. The photos inside stay true to the color scheme throughout. Even the black and white images are actually brown and white.

The content is just as easy to peruse. Colin Cowie is a professional stylish who presents a lifestyle that is indulgent, carefree and above all, glamorous. The first three chapters are dedicated to organizing the home with a heavy emphasis around entertaining. Later chapters cover travel, office politics, identity theft, exercise, fashion and even how to avoid a hangover.

My home is my refuge, my playground, my base of operations, my pride and joy. I use my living room sofa, my dining room table, my very best china. My crystal stemware, and every single one of my favorite things as often as possible– and I do so with pleasure and gratitude that they’re mine.

Couldn’t agree with that more.
