Roman Holiday Reads – The Audrey Hepburn Books We Love

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

- Audrey Hepburn

 

One of our top style crushes of all-time, is there a woman alive who does not adore Audrey Hepburn?

The stunning movie star, who once famously called her style ‘attainable’, still inspires women across the world when it comes to looking timelessly elegant and fashionable.

Countless books have been written about the ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ actress, but here are three Hepburn books that get the Her.ie stamp of approval; one personal, one pictorial, and one on the life philosophies of the star.
