If you're in search of a new coffee table book (of epic proportions), then you're in luck. The highly-anticipated book, The Essential Marilyn Monroe, will officially be available for purchase come Sunday, and in it's pages, you'll find over 250 stunning (sometimes never before seen) photographs of one of Hollywood's most iconic stars—Marilyn Monroe.

The book provides an intimate look into the her life, in large part because the man behind the lens, Milton H. Greene, was a close friend of the actress. From film-sets to the privacy of her own home, the images shine light on the many facets of Marilyn's life. 

One photograph, in particular, is considered to be the rarest of them all. Marilyn, set against a black backdrop and clothed in what appears to be a black robe, seemingly disappears into the background, only her legs, hands, and face visible. And after it was published in Look Magazine, it was never seen again—until now.

While the photographs were taken by Milton H. Greene, they were actually restored and catalogued by his son, Joshua Greene. Through his efforts, Joshua has created a lasting tribute (20 years in the making) to the work of his father, as well as his father's greatest muse—Marilyn. 

Scroll down to get a sneak peak at some of the stunning photographs featured in this book, and then add it to your collection when it officially becomes available for purchase on Sunday.

There has been no shortage of head-turning looks from Bella Hadid both on and off the runways this fashion month. Fantastical designer confections aside, we've paid close attention to her off-duty staples—and one that's remained steadfast is a particular pair of ankle boots.

With a sock-like silhouette and trend-right pointed toes, her Sol Sana boots fit the bill as a worthy investment this fall. Even better? The under-$200 price tag—with a slew of options upward of $500 this season—feels like a more pragmatic choice, without sacrificing any of the excitement. Bella has already been spotted twice in the style, and we doubt she'll stop there. (We, too, have envisioned a handful of outfits to wear them with, and we don't even own them… yet.)
