Audrey Hepburn

"Elegance is the only beauty that never fades".

"You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you".

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone".
(Audrey Hepburn)

Edda Kathleen van Heemstra Hepburn-Rusto, is the name of a girl born in 1929, with a passion for acting and dance, better known as Audrey Hepburn.
Today we're going to talk of the eternal 50s Diva, a modern beauty and sour, a little melancholy doe-eyed girl.
The words to describe the elegance and style that sets it apart is not easy to find, but I'll try.
Audrey was the bearing, the freshness, spontaneity, charisma.
Proclaimed in 1999 the third biggest actress of all time by the American Film Institute and earned its star on Hollywood a Walk of Fame (at 1652 Vine Street), this young beauty has created a style imitated by topical and fashion lovers and inspiration for designers.
With her, the ideal of beauty was partly re-invented.
In a world where sensuality was incarnated in bodies, buttery and full of curves like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey was imposed on the scene, sporting a new style, characterized by thinness, sophisticated and full of grace.
A new fashion icon was born.
Elegance, class, luxury, all in one word: simplicity.
In a femininity where "less is more," you may well see in "Breakfast at Tiffany's", Audrey was much more than an actress.
Today,she lies the small cemetery of Morges in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland where she had a house since the '60s.

This is a glamour video I found for you to see the fresh and soft make up of Audrey...





That's all darlin'!
Hope you enjoy this jump in Audrey style...

My Pin Up Heart!

Hy boys & girls!
I must confess, I have started to appreciate a different style, in which I feel really good!
My new love is the style of Pin Ups!
Yes, I'm talking about Varga's girls, 1940' and 50' Divas, and so and so forth.
There's something very attractive in those make up and hair!
I consider Pin Up girls like serious sexy icons, because their style is an explosive mix of qualities.
First of all, they're SO SEXY!
They're sexy but gentle, at the same time.
There isn't anything vulgar, rude or dirty in their pose!
Now a days obscenity seem the main word to be popular and admired...
Specially in Tv!
It's a shame.
However, Pin Up girl's sense of humor is another point in their favour!
Varga has been one of the best in capturing this aspect.
No one can wink better than a Pin Up girl!
Always without exaggeration, of course.
Another thing I really love is their ability to be sensual, to be strong women, loud and proud, but always with a hint of sweetness!
A pillar of fashion.
And a good example of woman.
