Fashion Icon-Brigitte Bardot

Hello!
So I figured it was time for another Fashion Icon Piece. The last two had such great results, Thanks for that Folks. This posts Fashion Icon Is Brigitte Bardot "A sex Symbol through the Ages" according to Time magazine. And I would personally have to agree. This woman is the reason woman aren't hitting the beaches in huge one pieces. Brigitte is the reason the Bikini became popular and has become the staple it is today. She starred in the film "the Girl in the Bikini" and made this radical new swim suit an instant success. She was gorgeous! The only other woman in history who has even come close as far as being a sex symbol would have to be Marilyn Monroe.
What I loved most about her was her Curves! She wasn't a twig she had healthy curves that drove men mad. I respect her for that and really wish we could get back to that type of mentality again. Curves are GOOD!
Other Signature Bardot Features.....
HAIR, BIG HAIR! 
Thick, Dark, And sexy Lashes. Falsies will be required to get that look. 
Thick Black eye liner.
A big Pouty mouth doesn't hurt also. I'd use a Lip Plumping gloss with a light tint. 
Other then Mascara and Liner she tends to keep the face make up simple and Natural another thing I love.  She was proud of her body and happy to show it off but always strategically covered.

Now for the fun stuff these are just a few photos I found that I loved. But there were plenty. I would recommend Time Magazines Page dedicated to Brigitte Bardot.It's very informative.

Fashion Icons-Audrey Hepburn

So My little Sister is getting Married!!!! Yeah!! and she wants to have a the bridesmaids dressed like Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffany's. So we've been on the search for the right dress, the right pearls, we're still not sure about tiara's and possibly Wayfarer sunglasses. but with all this time and research into the look of Audrey I thought it was time to post another Fashion icon post.
I had always planned on posting about Audrey, but I kept staling since it seemed like such a give away. Of course she's a fashion Icon. No writer in the world would dare make a list and not have her in the top ten of all time. The woman is a MAJOR factor in Ray Ban's huge success and the return of the Wayfarer sunglasses which every other company is currently knocking off! Aside from her timeless films she had a timeless look. A woman today could wear any of her outfits and look chic and perfect. Her style was simple and classic.
So what should everyone every woman take from Audrey's Style?

• Keep it simple!! Nothing wrong with a simple top and cropped pants. Who says you have to have four layers of clothing and a scarf to top it off?!
• Every woman needs a LBD-Little Black Dress! I have three great go to LBDs. 
• Embrace your Natural features!!! She had thick Eyebrows and a a short forehead, and she looked FABULOUS!!!
• Be Kind, it make you even more beautiful! Not many folks know of Audrey's philanthropic work throughout her life but in Her later years she did a great deal of work with UNICEF and was even awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 

So there it is the few fashion rules I've gained thanks to Audrey Hepburn. Hope you use them as well. 

Girl Crush

Found a great sneak peak on Fashion Gone Rouge today. It was of one of My favorite Screen Gems Anne Hathaway. She will be donning the cover of Harper's Bazaar in August and the photos, shot in London by Alexi Lubomirski, were posted today. It's a MOD theme and she looks stellar. Then again I think she always looks stellar. I've always loved her, I even loved the Princess Diaries. No Judging! Her fashion along with her Roles have simply gotten better and better with every passing year, Like fine wine! I thought she was one of the best Academy Award hosts ever, I thought she held up the entire show. James Franco seemed bored the whole time. Her wardrobe changes that night were great as well. OK so the truth comes out, I may have a girl crush on Anne Hathaway. Anyway enjoy the Photos.

Love that Dress!!!

My Favorite by Far!

Fashion Icons!-Greta Garbo

In my attempts to better educate myself in Fashion I thought today I would study the Fashion Elite. I've always loved Audrey Hepburn, CoCo Chanel, and Vivienne Westwood. And all though I knew of Twiggy, Bridgette Bardot, and Edie Sedgewick I was in need of true study! Once I jumped into this topic though I saw that the list could be extremely long. So where to start? There was enough for hundreds of posts thus was born my first Series posts. Here we go!

My First Icon Profile is Greta Garbo. Greta made it possible for woman to be both assertive and Feminine. The queen of method acting had a presence that stopped men it their tracks and made women want to be her. She set fashion trends galore but it's the social change she started that makes her a fashion icon. She redefined the role of woman in film, she was the highest paid woman in America in the 1930's.  Although never stated, she exuded the mentality of, "Yes I'm a woman. Yes I'm beautiful, But don't be fooled I could kick your ass if I wanted to". And that's what I love best about her.

So what sort of fashion trends are quintessentially Greta?

• Perfect Pout- Lip liner is a must
• Work the hair!
• Lashes!!! Falsies are a must.
• No matter what the outfit is, Be Confident!

That last point was particularly helpful to me today. I just wasn't feeling anything I put on but I sucked it up picked out a LBD and owned it!!  Thank You Greta!

I wish every photo of me looked this good.

There's that perfect pout.

Working the Hair.
