Little Miss Honey: MY ULTIMATE GIRL CRUSH

May is will be ending soon but before it do, let me pay tribute to my ultimate icon, my fave girl-crush of all whose birthday happens to fall in May: Miss Audrey Hepburn. May 2, 1929 to be exact. Belated Happy Birthday, Miss Audrey Hepburn. Idol!

It is kind of weird that I look up to an actress that is way before my time. But I have discovered Audrey Hepburn when my brother told me to watch the TV because there is a story about nuns. Those were the days I thought I have a calling to be a nun, hehe. I love the movie and I got particularly curious of the actress playing the lead role. My started enjoying watching the TNT back & white movies. I later saw her other movies: Breakfast in Tiffany, Roman Holiday, Funny Face, Sabrina and The Unforgiven. I also learned about her involvement with UNICEF as well as her timeless simply elegant and classy style. I couldn't help but admire this woman. I think she is amazing! Peg for Life! It is important the girls especially during the awkward stages of pre-teens, we need role-models, someone we look up to. Because who we look up to determines what we want to be come. And I see Audrey Hepburn as a perfect role model not just because of her admirable body of work in films but her as a person. Of course, you and me are far from what Audrey has done or is and we all have our own stone to carve in our unique way but it is good to have someone to inspire you.

Here is my humble collection of Audrey Hepburn memorabilia and more to come:

I leave you with the favorite poem of Audrey Hepburn that she read in one UNICEF programs. You can see that her life principles are simple and more internal-driven rather than external frivolousness. In her son's book about her, she was quoted saying, "Boil it down to what count the most: What is the essence of what you are trying to do, what is the most important thing? Things only get complicated when you address too many issues." Oh, Miss Audrey, I love you....
