Fall Fashion Inspiration: From Audrey Hepburn to Elizabeth Taylor

Recently  I have combing through thrift stores, library book sales, and my grandma's bookshelf for books about the fabulous Audrey Hepburn. It has kind of become a hobby for me. I love finding them...it literally brings me so much joy. Her style was iconic and I love mirroring it!

It seems these days that people are modeling the styles of today after those of the 50's and 60's. It is shown in magazines like Vogue and Elle the drastic comparisons to these styles of the past!

Dressing like your favorite icon from the past is so simple, you just have to know what to look for! For example, let's take a look at Audrey's style. Through pictures you can really tell that she loved stripes!

Audrey also had a thing for the classic pea-coat!

Perfect Peplum

The Peplum Waist...everyone is talking about and you see it on every runway. It's the flared waist on a skirt or dress that adds the perfect charm to any outfit! It seems these days that all of the celebrity's are wearing it and designers like Ruffian and Jason Wu are adding it to their fall lines. Check it out!

Have A Laugh

Hey Guys! 

Normally I blog about some kind of review...fashion, books, movies ect., but today I thought I would change it up a little and blog about everything funny. So here we go!

First off though I would like to tell you all about a conversation I had at the dinner table last night with my mom, dad and I. I told them all about my plans for this blog post and I asked their opinion. My mom replied with the normal,"Grace, whatever you do will be great." I expected the same response from my dad...but no.. He just told me to blog about my face..because that was the funnest thing out their. Thanks dad..So here is my face! 

To be completely fair..this was at Halloween so I have an excuse for wearing mouse ears and weird glasses :)

Okay...if you have a Facebook/Pinterest you have probably seen these super funny little ecards floating around. Here are some of my favorites! 

Okay now on to some cheesy jokes. Here are the cheesiest of them all...that sounded better in my head.. 

• What do you eat when you're about to die? A life saver!
• Why did Cinderella get kicked off of the softball team? Because she ran away from the ball!
• What did zero say to eight? Nice belt!
• What did the big bucket say to the little bucket? You look a little pail! 
• How does and octopus go to war? Well-armed! 
• Why couldn't Dracula's wife go to sleep? Because of his coffin! 

Now here are some funny pictures posted by a girl on Tumblr (follow me at Everythinglovelyandvintage.tumblr.com) called Teenager Posts. She writes all about what teens are really thinking. :D

 

Here are some pictures I just couldn't resist posting..;)

I hope you all enjoyed this post and got a laugh! Comment and tell me what you thought! Love, Grace Elizabeth Nickols..xoxo
