An Ode To Audrey Hepburn on her Birthday!



"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles.Audrey Hepburn 





Today would have been Audrey Hepburn's 84th birthday. Though she has been dead for many years I think we can all agree that her legacy on film, her charity work and her amazing and iconic style is still very much alive today. 





Though many have tried, the world will never have another Audrey Hepburn (though I do enjoy when some celebrities dress up as her in pictures.) 
Oh God, Do you remember when Jennifer Love Hewitt played her in the TV movie? I am still trying to forget. 


Blair Waldorf has always been obsessed with Audrey
She would



But there a few things you can always be doing to live life more like Audrey Hepburn. Most of them have to do with style but she also had a genuine pleasant outlook on life. 

1) Get an adorable yorkie: 





Um check! Audrey was obsessed with her yorkie Mr. Famous. She was a lover of all animals, She had a pet fawn! After Mr.Famous was unfortunately killed she got another Yorkie named  Assam of Assam. Well, you can't say she didn't come up with original names. 

2) Sleeping is no excuse to look shabby




Okay, so this was Holly Golightly, but still. Love the ear plugs and the sleeping mask and the tuxedo shirt. This may have to be my next Halloween costume.

3) Embrace the stripes


Just do it. It always looks good. 

4) Never underestimate the power of a good coat:





 "The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair."

5) If you are going to smoke, look this cool while you do it:






Same goes for when you are sitting around playing guitar



Or cooking
Or drinking tea

6) Do rock a little black dress and heck, add a hat

Or a little pink one


7) Never underestimate the sexiness of a turtleneck
This is Audrey in the wonderful film Two for the Road in which she seduces the gorgeous Albert Finney with a tucked in turtleneck and

a trench coat



8) Do rock totally different hair sometimes



Including pigtails








9) Do be a glamour queen






10) "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."

The Best Thing About "The Holiday" is Cameron Diaz's Wardrobe!!


It's early December which means it is absolutely acceptable by society to watch a Christmas movie, whether it be a classic or the Mistle Tones on ABC Family starring Tori Spelling and one of the Mowry twins. But one of the movies that I plan to watch at least 10 minutes of everyday when it plays in TBS is The Holiday.






The 2006 romantic Christmas comedy starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black, one of the most random groups of actors you could ever imagine. Director and writer Nancy Meyers actually wrote the film with those four actors in mind believe it or not. I mean it made sense for Cameron Diaz to be there but I find it's always weird when Kate Winslet is in a movie where she doesn't have to wear a corset or sits in a bath tub for hours. I feel like she probably did this because she was so sick of being nominated for the Oscar at this point and losing so she thought I'm gonna do a simple romcom where I get to go hang out at a pool in LA instead of filming in freezing water or you know, pretending to be a Nazi sympathizer.)




 I mean he was sweet in the movie but it was kind of hard to take him seriously. Jude Law looks good anywhere (except for in the new Anna Karenina where he looks like a pedophile.)

Anyway, the movie, in the grand scheme of things is not wonderful, especially because Cameron Diaz's character, Amanda, is just annoying. But her wardrobe is friggin' fantastic! We don't know how she fit in all those sweaters and jackets in her suitcase, but that is the magic of the cinema.

Let's take a look at some of her best looks in the movie.
