For years, I’ve had a love for Audrey Hepburn. Her style, her grace, her humanitarian efforts, her movies…

Last night I decided to research Audrey Hepburn’s style. I found lots of lists of items to buy that are “so Audrey.” But I was surprised to also find lists of lifestyle tips that are essential to channeling Audrey Hepburn. Audrey Hepburn’s style isn’t based solely on looks.

Living the Audrey Hepburn Way:
- Be Yourself!
- Arrive on time
- Eat balanced meals
- Exercise (take walks, ride a bike)
- Dress comfortably!
- Wear minimal makeup
- Sit and stand with good posture
- Live with Simplicity!
- Don’t forget the finishing touches (perfume)
- Smile!

Shopping like Audrey Hepburn:
- Big sunglasses
- Little black dress
- Skinny black pants
- Ballet flats
- Black top (turtleneck or boat neck)
- Full Skirt
- White button down shirt
- Trench coat
- Pearls
- Headband

Who DOESN’T love Audrey?! I love her look, it’s still so classic. Today, I definitely admire Kate Winslet…she always looks so classy!

I think I live the Audrey way, except for #’s 7 and 10. I have bad posture and don’t smile enough. But I’m working on it!
I admire anyone who has better style than me, which is everyone. My cousin Erin has a really great sense of style and the girl can accessorize. I really wish I could pull off her cool style!

I adore Audrey Hepburn. We have a giant black and white photo of her from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” in our dining area. She definitely remains timeless and classic. Just look at those items in the “shopping” category – all of them can be worn today!
As for me, I also adore Carrie Bradshaw’s style in “Sex and the City.” She’s bold and fearless and I have pulled inspiration from her plenty of times, although there’s a lot that she wears that I could never pull off (tutu anyone?)
Have a great weekend lovely!

I’m a huge Audrey fan, too! I would love to fancy myself a Holly Golightly but I’m probably more of a Lucy Ricardo.
I really like Reese Witherspoon’s style. She always looks very classic and put together.

I am a Jackie O person myself though I love a lot of the Audrey tips and may have to remember them!

I love wearing black – goes with everything!
I also love being on time (although I am oftentimes not), and ballet flats!
Interesting post!

Haha I’m all about dressing comfortably so I can get on board with that- but I am totally not a big sunglasses girl. I look crazy with them on
Yay for BC!

I know this is random but I love Keri Russell’s style. I love that girl next door look but spiced with a little glam!
