This week I watched Funny Face, the classic movie with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. I can think of no other woman that embodies both fashion, style, grace and poise. And so she is the perfect woman to mention in our opening blog.

The film follows Jo Stockton (Hepburn) as she is immersed in the wonderful world of fashion - travelling to Paris and (insert cliche here) getting a make-over along the way. Perhaps one of Hepburn's most stylish movies, the costumes all created, of course, by Givenchy. After watching I had no choice but to decide to go as Hepburn for Halloween. Not the typical choice no, but who wants to dress as a witch? Matted hair? No thanks!

Little black dresses? Diamond Tiaras? Skirt suits? Knee length gloves? Ked trainers, even? Oooh everyone loves a little bit of Audrey!
