I am not the first or the last to love Audrey Hepburn. She is one of the most iconic women of all time, up there with Jackie O and Grace Kelly. She defined style effortlessly, making a black dress with gorgeous jewelry appear as nonchalant as jeans and a t. Her style was timeless and will continue to inspire fashionistas of the present and future for years to come.My current Audrey fascination is with the Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses that she wears in Breakfast at Tiffany's. The bubbly Holly Go-Lightly wears these in the opening scene in which she strolls along the windows of uptown New York City, sipping coffee and eating a pastry as she peeks into the sparkling windows of Tiffany & Co.
How often is there something that both fashionistas and rock stars can agree on? Well the Wayfarer for one. These just speak thrown-together glamour with street-cred edge. On a girly-girl they take on low-key-chic look, while on a rocker or wannabe-rocker they look hipster with a slight nerdy-cool factor.
I have had my eye on these for quite some time and can't wait to save up enough baby-sitting money to buy them. My friends know me as the girl who always wears her big, bug-eyed sunglasses whenever I go outside (and on my head when I'm inside.) It's time for a change, and these are just the refreshing pair of sunnies I have been looking for.
And then I can stroll along Tiffany's and drink my Chai Tea Latte while humming "Moon River" like nobody's business.
