I wish I spent my teenage years in the 90s, partied in the 50s, was a model in the 40s and was a career woman in the 80s. I also wish I was Audrey Hepburn’s BFF back when she was having her movie “moment,” and knew Brittany Murphy during her Clueless days. 

I say all this because lately I have been obsessed with all things older than I am. For instance, I am currently collecting old album art, (Debbie Harry mostly), and various black and white photos to create wall art with, am enthralled with all of Audrey’s movies and am reading a 1962 revision of Dale Carnegie’s “Effective Speaking.” I plan to be able to speak like the President in a matter of 258 pages. Here are some photos I took today whilst wishing I were on a Roman Holiday just like Audrey…

IMG_0086I’m flying away! To Rome to have my own Roman holiday! In my head…

Clothing: Grey cropped top from Forever 21, hot pink Party Skirt, rose gold Fossil watch, Stuart Weitzman shoes and vintage Raybans. 

IMG_0069What StyleStruck reads: I found this gem in a thrift shop off Denman St. $1.50 gets me a new life skill. I just so happen to be taking an “Effective Public Speaking” course this semester at BCIT, wonder if the prof will accept this book as my version of the text? 

IMG_0073If you have not seen this movie, I highly recommend it! I think it was her first big movie, and she is just adorable. Speaking of adorable, you gotta see her leading man in all his grey-suit glory in this sweet love story, he’s a bit of a hunk. (The cover does not do him justice.) 

Byee for now!
