My Ultimate Style Icon is obviously going to be Audrey Hepburn. Why? How much time do you have! Words to describe her style are elegant, chic, classic, iconic (LBD anyone?), sophisticated, elegant and elegant. She was able to pull most looks off because of her dancer's figure (which I envy) and I really dont think I've ever seen a picture of her where she doesn't look the embodiment of perfection, even when she was older! Perfect smile, amazing actress, amazing dancer, amazing singer AND endless supply of Givenchy. We live in a cruel world. I really wish I had her haircut but sadly I am not blessed with the bone-structure... Obviously I can't not mention Breakfast at Tiffanys, my all time absolute favourite film ever in which she plays Holly Golighty, a bubbly and painfully stylish woman living in New York with her cat, Cat. If you havnt seen it, you are mad. Go and see it immediately. Other amazing films with Audrey: Funny Face (With Fred Astaire- all singing, all dancing, all fashion), Roman Holiday (With Gregory Peck- Audrey naturally playing a princess) My Fair Lady....etc!
I could probably talk about her all day long but instead, I will let the pictures do the talking (I wouldn't want to bore you!)

I absolutely agree with you, audrey is pure perfection and an amazing style icon! love her to bits!
ReplyDeleteApropos your question at the end, when I put some effort into what I wear I tend to find myself influenced by the style of the 50s and early 60s; basically like Mad Men (cliche alert!).
ReplyDeleteParticularly because I have this huge messy neon-red hair and smudgy eyeliner, I dunno, I think I like the contrast since all the women of that era looked so immaculate.
I feel like such a twat talking about my ~style influence lol okay.
