It is interesting because she ages in the movie and you can see her evolving style. If I had enough photos of me in my early 20s, I'd quite like to be able to see my style evolve and try to predict what I will dress like in my 40s or 50s.
Also, what I love about this film, and what made me think about it today, is her choice of travel outfits. A bit Jane Birkin, very Audrey Hepburn (obviously), practical, stylish without ever being over the top. A hard thing to achieve in my opinion, especially when it is time to hit the road!
What is your favourite travel outfit?

No bags at all if I can help it, and not heavy coats! I find traveling by plane exceedingly boring anyway and hate to carry any weight around.
ReplyDeleteI have a terrible / fabulous fleece brown cape that's fantastic as it doubles as a pillow and a blanket, so I tend to use that. Also, very large sunglasses. I can't do glamorous when feeling bored and cramped (and sleep deprived, usually, ugh)
Its more of a running away look than a going on holiday look but ideally I try to channel Wanda:

In reality I generally have so many bags I have to be fairly practical and wear layers so I don't get too hot and frazzled, but when I can travel light with one bag I can be much more glamourous with a big winter coat, or puffy dresses and less sensible shoes. Of course ... I like best when I have my handy beau to carry my luggage and I can just swan about looking after the tickets.
Bizarre that I had never heard of this movie! Thanks for blogging it, I'll see if I can rent it as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to travel light and by train across Europe. To me, it seems more interesting and stylish people travel by train and planes are over run by boring people.
❤ Vanda - I like multifunction items to travel. I always bring a big scarf with me that can be used as a headpiece, a scarf or even a sun shade if necessary!
ReplyDelete❤ Bunny - Wanda has the right attitude! Especially for the size of her luggage...
❤ Quail - You absolutely HAVE to see this movie, it is wonderful. You are so right about travelling by train... Planes are a bit gross most of the time. I also like road trips on little country roads!
My biggest travel thing is to always travel with just a carry-on, so you breeze past all the tourists waiting for luggage and onto your final destination.
ReplyDeleteOff the point -- and I hope you forgive me because I know it's law that we all must worship Audrey -- but Hepburn looked anorexic to me when I first saw her movies as a kid, long before I knew what "anorexic" was. All I knew was that the pretty lady was skeletal.
