There are many women who have inspired me style-wise, several of whom I've featured. Women with fabulous hair, monstrous Hermes collections, killer shoes... they've absolutely influenced my own personal style. Audrey Hepburn's love of black attire and flowy dresses are definitely staples of my own style, as well as strong brows and dramatic lips. However, I think Audrey stands out amongst all of these style icons, as she possessed an inner grace and happiness that radiated in everything that she did. Audrey is absolutely an example of having it all; enjoying all things girly, finding joy in each and every moment, and having a purpose to do something greater than oneself. Audrey's work with UNICEF and her compassion for children is what set her apart from every other pretty face. She left a legacy of kindness and humility, something that should define and inspire beauty.
"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides."
-Audrey Hepburn
