A black turtleneck looks great on anyone.

It’s always alright to be a lady, even in the toughest of businesses and during the toughest of times.

Help others.

Have a favourite poem to inspire you.

Pour everything you have into your work.

True style is in it’s simplicity.

Fall madly in love.

Laugh often.

Travel everywhere.

Dancing is the best way to stay fit.

Always wear lipstick.

Don’t let a difficult childhood prevent you from having a charmed life.

Pick the day. Enjoy it – to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come… The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present – and I don’t want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.

These are great! Every year, my birthday present to myself is to memorize a poem. I’ve been doing it since the 3rd grade and it’s such a great little ritual. Audrey Hepburn was a wise woman.
