Style icon #1 Audrey Hepburn

Hey everyone! This is my first ever 'real' post, and who better to dedicate it to than Miss Hepburn? 'Style icon' is also the first series on this blog, which you'll definitely be seeing more of.



For those who don't know her, Audrey Hepburn was a successful American actrice during the 20th century. She starred in a number of movies, which include Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Funny Face, My Fair Lady and Sabrina. Her class, timeless beauty and outstanding acting have enchanted and inspired an innumberable amount of people, including me.

I first heard of Audrey when I was watching Gossip Girl.One of the main characters, Blair, is a huge fan of hers. A few months later, I saw Breakfast at Tiffany's in a display rack, and being the curious gal I am, I bought it. I loved it and ever since, Audrey has become one of my main inspirations, not only in fashion, but also in lifestyle. I'll stop talking now and let the images speak for themselves.

These are only a few of many gorgeous and inspirational Audrey images, and I will probably post more of them in the future. For now, let's conclude this post with one of my favourite Audrey quotes:
