My inspiration



Who wouldn't recognize her?
Audrey Hepburn, the legendary style icon, that is for most people, but for me, she is a lot more than that. She is an inspiration.

Beyond her iconic beauty and style, she was a humble, caring, kind, and charming person. Living during the World War II was one of her life-changing experience. She was able to live through it and learned the lessons that made her the great person that she was. She had this huge affection for children, especially unfortunate ones, and that was why she joined and dedicated the remainder of life working to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).

I have only watched few of her movies, namely Funny Face, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sabrina, My Fair Lady, and i love all of them. I'm looking forward to watch other movies of hers, hope i can find them. =)

Her first movie that i watched was Funny Face. It was a musical, funny, cute, romantic movie, but on top of that i am very fond of the message in the movie, that is about empathy. 

Empathy is to project your imagination so that you actually feel what the other person is feeling.You put yourself in the other person's place. - Audrey Hepburn, Funny Face

I'm a firm believer of empathy, so you know where it goes. =)

In the movie there is also a famous scene where Audrey danced. It is one of my most favorite scene. =D


You can really see how well she can dance, to the fact that she used to do ballet. Besides acting and dancing, she was also a good singer. She sang in few of her movies, one of the most popular scene is when she sang Moon River in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Besides her lovely, full of spirit, yet innocent look and classic style, I  also love her unique British-like accent ( i don't exactly know where it came from), it sounds really classic, the signature of Audrey. In My Fair Lady, where she played as Eliza Doolittle, a flower seller, she spoke with a strong Cockney, or "Lisson Grove lingo" as it is called, and she did marvellous job of playing two exact opposite character.

There is still a lot of things we can learn from her. I couldn't share all of them. You can click here to read her biography and get ready to be inspired. =)

I guess that's all that i can share right now. I really adore her in every aspects.
~ Audrey Hepburn is an icon legend, a  woman with grace, elegance and innocence, yet beyond all that she was a mother, a humanitarian, a woman with a heart of gold.
