The 1950's stole my heart

We are inspired by many things one point or another in our lives. My inspiration started as a little girl, when two women encaptivated my heart and have been the very inspiration through every stage of my life. Needless to say, I adore everything classic which is why I adore the 1950's. The 50's was a time of romance, innocence, laughter, chivalry, and fashion. I tend to think a lot of things were better in the 50's to early 60's, the cars, music, parties, the respectable women and men, and who could forget the dancing! I would have loved to go back into time and embrace those moments of passion and beauty.

One of my two my favorite idols is the sweet and lovely Audrey Hepburn; who's best remembered in, Breakfast at Tiffany's. She was a true woman of courage, innocence, and realistic love for herself and the world; and by the world, I mean Harry Winston and his dashing fashion. 

 "I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles" - Audrey Hepburn

My second idol, who had taken my womanhood by the reins and led me into the woman I am today, is no one other than Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn was a a real woman who was courageous and wasn't afraid to express herself. Her sex appeal was a combination of wild and sophistication, the sweet "dumb blonde" persona and a personality that was so bold, not even the president could out weigh her fame -- remember her dedication to JFK? "Happy Birthday Mr. President" ;).

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” 

- Marilyn Monroe
