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…

I’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. 

What 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? 

If 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!
