Ballet Flats: a love story

Decisions, decisions,  I can't seem to find the perfect pair ballet flats. I've been shopping around for over a month now, but I can't seem to narrow it down to just one pair. When it comes to shoes, I tend to shy away from the trendy styles and almost always try to stay with the classic styles, you can never go wrong this way.
I love all kinds of shoes, including heels, boots, loafers, but I've always been a ballerina flat shoe kinda girl.
Maybe I watched Funny Face way too many times as a young girl. Who can ever forget Audrey's "beatnik" costume? I definitely can't, I loved the black skinny pants and ballet flats that she wore in this film. I became so charmed with her look, which then lead to my "Audrey Hepburn Complex", just like the song. Her style was simple, but yet so chic. And of course, you can't complete a look without the perfect pair of shoes.


And so far, these are some of my favorite ballet flats. I wonder which ones Audrey would wear if she was here today.

1.  "Vamante" by Belle
2. "Vegasss" by Steve Madden
3. "Classic Leopard" by J Crew

It's a Audrey Hepburn kinda day

One of my favorite posters for Roman Holiday. Updated version.  
Italian poster for Sabrina. It looks like a fashion magazine cover.
Gotta love this Spanish poster for Funny Face. Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn were so good together. I can watch this film over and over again.


This morning I woke up feeling sick. It must be the crazy weather in Santa Monica. First it's super hot, then it starts to rain. I don't get it. I decided to stay in this morning and watch some classic Audrey Hepburn films. I hate to sound cliche, but these are some of my favorite films. They never fail to put a smile on my face on days like today. All I need now is a box of macarons from Bottega Louie and a cup of jasmine tea.
