Happy Birthday Audrey Hepburn!!

Audrey Hepburn was born on this day (May 4th) in 1929.
In her honour I thought I would share some of her words, some of her adorable and amazing fashion sense as well as a few items which may help you take on the look of Audrey yourself...Enjoy!!

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

"As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one fore helping yourself, the other for helping others."

 "Everything I learned I learned from the movies."


      


Get the look:
Audrey's simple, elegant, classic style was always stunning...

Happy Birthday Elizabeth Taylor


Such a beautiful woman. Violet Eyes. Amazing sense of fashion. Married 8 times, to 7 husbands (she remarried Richard Burton 16 months after divorcing). An icon, both in style and humanitarianism.

Today would mark her 80th Birthday...a woman who will never be forgotten.
(Feb. 27,1932-March 23,2011)
