The Mid Century Fashion of Laura Petrie

When I think of fashionable TV icons Mary Tyler Moore on The Dick Van Dyke show always pops first into my mind. In the show, which ran from 1961 -1966, Mary plays Dick's onscreen wife, Laura Petrie, and her wardrobe perfectly exemplifies the transition of the matriarch, always primed and proper 50's housewife to a hip, fresh and younger version of the 60's American wife. Laura Petrie's wardrobe was an array of beautiful, now classic mid century fashion and often more mod than anything else seen at TV at the time. Her ensemble's could easily transition into today's modern times without looking matronly, outdated or in any way stuffy.

Happy day of birth Audrey Hepburn!

One of my upmost favorite style icons, Audrey Hepburn, would have celebrated her 85th birthday today. She is a symbol of all that is chic, classic, elegant and feminine. One could only imagine that if Ms. Hepburn were still alive what would she wear? I bet she would look as timeless at 85 as she ever did.

And if ever in doubt when getting dressed, a good rule of thumb is always What Would Audrey Wear. <3

Vogue Italia Beauty edition

I've always believed that hair is one of the most important fashion accessories a girl could have. The creativity and imagination that go into the cut, color, styling and formation of a good hair style is worth its weight in gold and holds the same level of artistic value as perfectly tailor blouse or an amazingly flattering dress in which you feel beautiful, confident and sexy in.

The hair styles featured in Vogue Italia's fashion issue are pitch perfect examples of cool coiffure. These styles are very inspired by the 1960's beehive, sharp angled bobs and androgynously adorable pixie cuts that are the perfect balance of rude boy tough and coquettish gamine. It is safe to say I would play with any of the hairstyles.
