The Quotable Lingerista: Audrey Hepburn ~ Style Icon Extraordinaire

Audrey Hepburn, one of my favorite fashion icons who exudes class and elegance has a few things to say about life, love and living:


"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people." ~ Audrey Hepburn

“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” ~ Audrey Hepburn


“Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.” ~ Audrey Hepburn



“My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses.” ~ Audrey Hepburn


“If I get married, I want to be very married.” ~ Audrey Hepburn


“I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.” ~ Audrey Hepburn



“Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.” ~ Audrey Hepburn


“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.” ~ Audrey Hepburn


[about her "comeback" in 1976] "Whatever happens, the most important thing is growing old gracefully. And you can`t do that on the cover of a fan magazine." ~ Audrey Hepburn


"My own life has been much more than a fairy tale. I`ve had my share of difficult moments, but whatever difficulties I`ve gone through, I`ve always gotten a prize at the end." ~ Audrey Hepburn


"For me, the only things of interest are those linked to the heart." ~ Audrey Hepburn


"I know I have more sex appeal on the tip of my nose than many women in their entire bodies. It doesn`t stand out a mile, but it`s there." ~ Audrey Hepburn


"I never thought I`d land in pictures with a face like mine." ~ Audrey Hepburn

The Quotable Lingerista ~ Coco Chanel

If I were to live by one person's views, based upon the Coco Chanel's quotes below, I may just want to slip into her life to see the world the way that she saw it.

Below are what make Coco Chanel not only a modern day fashionist, but also a Lingerista. Here are her "Cocoisms:"

• “How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone "
• "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous”
• The best color in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you!”
• Fashion fades, only style remains the same"
• “Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it’s not luxury”
• "I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin" (quote thanks to Faire Frou Frou)
  

Coco Chanel, born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, is an icon in the fashion world. From humble beginnings and tempting a career as a singer, she would face many struggles before becoming one of the most inspirational fashion designers of all time. By the age of 21, she had opened her own boutique in Paris and the rest is history. Coco designs and views are still relevant today, inspiring furture generations of fashionistas and lingeristas!Thanks to Decolish Decolish for the caricature image (above).
