It's probably the only time of the year when we really have time to loose ourselves in a good story. Of course, my favorite books are about fashion. Get inspired by beautiful pictures in a stylish coffee-table book or read a really good fashion story. At the beach, in the hammock, on the airplane - you can bring the book everywhere (if it's a small book though, coffee-table books are more suitable at home) and it will definitely be both fun and relaxing. Enjoy a good reading experience with these books. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Translate: Semestern är det perfekta tillfället för att läsa en bra bok. Det är förmodligen den enda gången på året då man verkligen har tiden att förlora sig själv i en bra berättelse. Självklart handlar mina favoritböcker om mode. Inspireras av fina bilder i en moderiktig coffee-table bok eller läs en riktigt bra moderoman. På stranden, i hängmattan, på flygplanet - du kan ta med dig boken överallt (om det är en liten bok vill säga, coffee-table böcker är mer passande hemma) och det blir definitivt både roligt och avslappnande. Njut av en riktigt bra läsupplevelse med dessa böcker.
