Follow a Star

Imitation may be the highest form of admiration, this applies to all kinds of imitation, and you don't necessarily have to be a copy-cat. Some people disguise their imitation/admiration with the word inspiration  and there is really nothing wrong that, as long as you don't lose yourself and become a bad and annoying copy of someone else. As the great Oscar Wilde said: "Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions. Thei lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation"

If  I were to make a list of people/characters who inspire me, dear reader, you will be get really bored, so instead I will make a series of entries dedicated to these people. The first one, the one and only: Audrey Hepburn.

I could write a book about why Audrey Hepburn is an icon and person to look up to. Style wise aside, she was a great person. She had style, grace, simplicity, humour, wits, looks... all! And still she was really humble about it. But lets get to her look.

This set I made in Polyvore is a simple way of taking Audrey's signature look to an everyday and casual situation. It is very easy to accomplish as there isn't any specific brand or piece. 

Riding around town in a pretty bicycle is also a good idea (as well as healthy and ecologic) and you can really get into the Audrey mood.
