12 things we can learn from Audrey Hepburn
Why is it that Audrey Hepburn looks so elegantly timeless? Most of her ‘off screen’ photos when you google search her look they could have been taken today. I was intrigued so I read up about her and loved reading many of her famous quotes. Here are my modern interpretations of 12 things we can learn form Audrey Hepburn today.
“Believe in Pink” – Audrey Hepburn
1. Trust in this colour, it will give you instant femininity.
“Know how to laugh. Laughing in the most important thing in a person” – Audrey Hepburn
2. Be happy. People who are happy are popular.
“I’ve been to Paris a million times!” vs “Yes, I try to go there often because
its one of my favourite vacation spots” – Audrey Hepburn
3. Don’t brag! Exaggeration is not pretty.
“Pick an area of interest and develop on it. Take classes, read, write about it.
Become an elite” – Audrey Hepburn
4. Find your passion.
“Always display impeccable posture. Never slouch” – Audrey Hepburn
5. Remember what your mother taught you girl!
“Quality is essential to elegance. Aim for quality over quantity. Good quality is not an extravagance, it’s the basic. Develop a shopping habit to only buying things of the highest quality that you can afford.” – Audrey Hepburn
6. Less is more. Be a minimalist.
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry” – Audrey Hepburn
7. Don’t be bitchy. Be kind and generous.
“Think positive things so that you’ll wear a warm expression on your face”
– Audrey Hepburn
8. Wear a smile and people will warm to you. No one likes a sour face.
“Refrain from speaking vulgarities. Be gracious when you encounter someone rude.
When insulted, hold your head up in self respect and walk away.”
– Audrey Hepburn
9. Refrain from being a dirty slapper at all times
“Greet, say hello, please and thank you.”
– Audrey Hepburn
10. Don’t forget your manners
“Be positive. Nothing is impossible. The word even says I’m possible.”
– Audrey Hepburn
11. Be ambitious
“Stay active and be happy. Happy girls are the most prettiest!”
– Audrey Hepburn
12. Skinny equals happy. Don’t let yourself go!
So lovely!
She’s my icon, there are countless things to learn from her! The number 4 (Find your passion) truly inspired me!
Number 4 is the strongest of them all. It taught me we still have to work hard at our passions. Even with natural skill there’s always room for improvement!
I love Audrey H! You’ve got some photos I’d not seen before, thanks for sharing!
Yes, I had not seen some of these before too so that’s why I put them in. I quite like the candid one of her sipping tea and laughing. It’s very natural.
