which I ABSOLUTELY ADORE! Eventhough I already know Audrey Hepburn's stories by heart, but this is my first time seeing photos of La Paisible, Audrey's estate in Switzerland. Her favorite place to be with her family and the place where she took her last breath. 

Beautiful post. Great job, { this is glamorous } ! Giving link to this post is not enough, I simply have to repost because it's about Audrey Hepburn!!!

Companion : /kəmˈpanjən/ one that is closely connected with another

A waifish figure and large, brown, doe-like eyes; a tiny, cinched in waist and sweet, elfin features; a willowy dancer's body, slight but strong from years of ballet training—always graceful and ever ladylike—it is difficult to believe that this beautiful woman, both inside and out, would wait almost her entire life to find true love but—when she did find it, it was truly great .

Audrey Hepburn and Natalie Portman

George Chamoun is a genius! He chose to work with movie icons from two different eras for his project about ideals, patterns and anatomy. 

He's certainly has good eyes and great taste because he paired my two favorite women: Audrey Hepburn and Natalie Portman. Brilliant!

Do you see Audrey or do you see Natalie?

Once a week I shift through the millions of Etsy listings to find unique/artsy/vintage items. Etsy is a craft website and not a commercial, mass-market dealer, items are almost always one-of-a-kind or in very limited availability. So when I see something I like, buying them is a must (in my mind - heart - and soul). Because those items may not be there the next time I surf round. (Yes, it’s a very dangerous site for my credit card.) Also, since most items are created individually, many sellers are willing to customize something specifically to suit my needs... and of course, some pretty things that I really want but just don't need. *sigh*

Want examples?

• This beautiful beyond words engagement ring. I want one!!! This is my kind of engagement ring. 
• These cute iPad and iPhone covers, would go perfectly with my iPad and iPhone. 

One more confession to make, I'm a sucker for online stores. So here are my other dream items that I found on 

• French Bull : Aaacckk supercute nylon handbag, Harlequin Lady Jane.  
• Madewell : Chic tote bag, by the quality mending co. and cute pair of silverlake sandal!
• Nood : Hoot vase! 
• Anthropologie : These Henry Dining Chairs are just perfect! 

Okay enough with online stores... made my heart ache! Instead, let's go travel to some beautiful place;

just chill and enjoy the view while staying at this lovely villa in Mykonos. Then we could go to Santorini just to find this boat book shop and take pictures! 

While at the beach, what's your favorite beach accessory? Mine: Chic Floppy hats are elegant and protect my face from sun damage. 

and oh, Switzerland is always a great idea! The alps so gorgeous! We could pretend to be Heidi for a while (; 

or we could go to London to see The Audrey Hepburn Collection by Bob Willoughby exhibit at  Proud's Chelsea gallery, 161 King's Road, London from 12th May – 26th June 2011 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. 

Eventhough the Royal Wedding is way over, I'm happy that I stumbled upon this article. Billy and Baby? Willy and Hazza? (': Good to know that they were having a blast at the private party!

Lastly, I hope my brother get to see this and would want his wedding reception to look like this, because I can and I will make it happen for him and future bride! Simply beautiful, romantic and magical. What do you think, adek? 

'til next time! Toodles! (;

RIP Dame Elizabeth Taylor

The beauty legend passed away yesterday (March 23rd 2011 at the age of 79). My Idol, Audrey Hepburn, may be the legendary fashion icon, yet Dame Elizabeth Taylor beyond any doubt, the legendary beauty icon. Her face was flawlessly symmetrical; she had no bad angle, and her eyes were of the deepest violet. Rest in peace, one of the most beautiful women ever graced Hollywood. 

I will honor her by watching A Place In The Sun and Cleopatra soon!!! (:

Give. Remember always to give. That is the thing that will make you grow. - Elizabeth Taylor

You are who you are. All you can do in this world is help others to be who they are and better themselves and those around them. - Elizabeth Taylor

I've had many tragedies in my life, but I guess they have all taught me something. I have to look at it that way. I give love and I'm surrounded by love...and I thank God for that. - Elizabeth Taylor

Audrey Hepburn Tulip Dedication Ceremony

A new hybrid tulip was created and named after actress Audrey Hepburn. An official dedication ceremony took place at her family's former mansion Huis Doorn in Doorn, Holland. Watch it if you want to see Audrey speaks Dutch. :)

Hearing her speaking in Dutch, reminds me of my dearest grandmother *sobs*

A Poem by Rabindranath Tagore

I love good poems, especially beautiful poem like "Unending Love" by Rabindranath Tagore. This is actually Audrey Hepburn's favorite poem, shortly after her death, Greggory Peck (co-star in Roman Holiday) went on camera and tearfully recited this poem, for Audrey.

Unending Love

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man's days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.

Roman Holiday

L'Interdit

Source: Wikipedia

L'Interdit was a perfume created in 1957 by Hubert de Givenchy for his friend, Audrey Hepburn. Its name means "forbidden". It has a soft, floral, powdery aroma. It contains notes of rose, jasmine, violet and, at the heart, a blend of woods and grasses. First created privately for Miss Hepburn by Givenchy. She wore it for a matter of years until finally releasing it to the public in the 1960's. Her photoshoot for the frangrance became legendary. Some claim it showed another side of Audrey.
