Rumours are aswirling

That it was uber fan Victoria Beckham that purchased the couture Givenchy LBD at yesterday's Audrey Hepburn auction for the bargain price of £60,000. The Chantilly lace cocktail dress was worn by Audrey in How To Steal A Million in 1966.

Personally, my fingers are crossed that it was Victoria that bought the dress. It will suit her to a tee and you know it will be properly stored and cared for. People do not realize the responsibility that comes along with truly great pieces. They have to be stored and cared for and respected. Victoria has the means and the sense to look after it properly. Although if I where her I would be a little annoyed the mask was not part of the deal.
Wouldn't you be?

Inspiration - Starlets

Vogue ran these photos taken by the great Terry O'Neill this morning and I could not help but re-post them for you. These are some of the most beautiful women in the work and Terry had a way of capturing them in a moment that let you see them a tad unguarded, just to the left of their public persona's. Which will you use as your inspiration today?
