Do you like style guide books??

Today I took a break and went for a walk and to my favourite book store..After I got myself U.Eco's new novel I took a look at the fashion section and i saw soo many style guides,books about fashion etc.. Do you read them or you think we should have our own style and not copy looks..
I like having some style&fashion books on my desk,shelf as coffeetable books and as a decorative touch...but i certainly not read and follow them in my personal style..
**We chose a dress with different colours and  circles with white as a base colour.just to keep it simple with no accessories,it is too hot for anything else..sorry about the weird face expressions it was so sunny and had no glasses with us ..

Books from Public store at Pireaus..

dress :Zara TRF
bag:Longchamp
belt :pull n bear
flip flops :monastiraki local store

  2. I love my fashion magazines and websites but im not a splurger when it comes to style books. I feel like i read too much for school at the moment so i dont pick up style books for that reason...lol

  6. i adore style books. although sometimes i find it hard for me to justify buying them at full price. i'm always glad when i can find one at second-hand stores that is still in excellent quality!

  15. I can't recall ever reading a guide to style book, generally because I never agree with what stylists say most the time (like Gok for example ><) but I can see how they might be useful references when studying a fashion related subject to gain a more diverse perspective.
    & the stripe dress is adorable.

    ps. Thank you for your post comment! :)

  16. Όταν λες εμείς να φανταστώ εσύ και η αδερφή σου? Πολύ όμορφο το φόρεμα... :) Προσωπικά δεν μου αρέσουν τα coffee table books, θέλω το βιβλίο που θα διαβάσω να είναι μυθιστόρημα ή κάτι τέτοιο, να έχει καμιά 500αριά σελίδες (διαβάζω πολύ γρήγορα), δεν θέλω να αγοράσω δηλαδή ένα βιβλίο για να κοιτάζω τις εικόνες... Εξάλλου παρακολουθώ τόσα blogs, νομίζω είμαι καλυμμένη :D

  17. It's not really style books that I like to buy...but I do have many, many books on fashion, designers, photographers...I'm very proud of my library I have collected over the years and still love looking at them all...it's really a collection of the history of fashion...my daughter loves them too!

  21. I have few (including Fashion Illustration in your post), but it's kinda funny like each one of them says that the most imporant is your OWN, personal style. ;) X



    P.S. Don’t forget about my new giveaway!

  23. i like your cute sundress! and i think just like books on any other topic, it's good to read about style and get other perspectives or tips. since style is so personal though, we should definitely make our own decisions, but the style guides can sometimes help with inspiration. but i had no idea there were so many!

  24. i've never really cared about style books, but then lauren conrad published one, so i'm considering buying it!
    you look great in this dress! so colorful!
