Style Icon: Audrey Hepburn

Style Icon:  Audrey Hepburn
“I never think of myself as an icon, I just do my thing.” – Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn is the ultimate model of class, sophistication and style. With her sleek up-do’s, kitten heels and cat-like sunglasses she’s an icon with timeless class. The opening scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s it all. This is a look that every woman should keep in her closet. The little black dress, pearls and a great pair of sunglasses!
She was more than an actress and style Icon. Hepburn was a humanitarian and loved to do good by others.
Today, the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund supports many organizations around the world dedicated to helping improve the lives of children through various programs and initiatives. www.audreyhepburn.com
We should all remember the Icons who came before us, and why they are honored so highly. One should always be classy, look out for others and look amazing while doing so.

Emulate her look with a pair of Black Dior Bagetelle Sunglasses. www.diorcouture.com  (1950’s inspired butterfly shape)
The kitten Heel is coming back!  This is a great height for those who don’t want to wear sky high platforms but still want a feminine heel. Check out Christian Loubatin and Manolo Blahnik  ( Foot Candy Boutique in St. Helena, Walnut Creek and Sonoma).
For the perfect Little Black dress I like Trina Turk, BCBG and DVF.
Let’s not forget the pearls! If you don’t want to splurge, You can find great accessories at Target that will do the trick!
Pearls are an investment piece and are timeless, classy and chic Just like Audrey Hepburn.
