I think, for me, it's always like this – each year is either a 'film year' or a 'books year', and 2021 is undoubtedly a 'film year.' <br /><br />anyway, this post got me interested in French Rococo and Audrey Hepburn books. I've never read any fashion history-related books as I'm not huge on fashion knowledge (I'm more into beauty than fashion, I think; although I do have a few fashion styles or items that I fancy) but, considering how I love to read about fashion in old era and period setting, I'll be sure to check them out on goodreads later.<br /><br />speaking of goodreads, I just sent a friend request there *winkwink*<br /><br />–<br /><br />Élise / hailcyon.spaceÉlisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032151379571080883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780016528181244242.post-30544507834271770812021-06-20T14:57:28.350-07:002021-06-20T14:57:28.350-07:00Sean Ferrer's bio of his mother is really touc...Sean Ferrer's bio of his mother is really touching.

But AFTER? Now I'm completely in love! Cora did an incredible job outlining how integral lingerie is in fashion. I highly recommend it and I hope you love the book as much as I did! <3Kaileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990687698671008351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780016528181244242.post-39763847221063454092021-04-11T08:34:36.859-07:002021-04-11T08:34:36.859-07:00I've been meaning to read In Intimate Detail a...I've been meaning to read In Intimate Detail and I'll definitely pick it up soon with your rec.

I had remembered reading about her humanitarian work, but reading the book really made a lot about her click into place for me, especially about her experiences during WWII. I also watched the new Audrey documentary! I really enjoyed it as well, and I appreciated they had ballerinas portray Audrey at different points in her life. Omg it's so cool you have a Sisi postcard from your travels! And indeed, her hair routine was out of this world - the biography I read touches upon it and it was QUITE the process! Thank you for stopping by, I always so appreciate your thoughtful comments Audrey <3Kaileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990687698671008351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780016528181244242.post-67928595532407943162021-04-09T13:31:39.033-07:002021-04-09T13:31:39.033-07:00Omg Zelly my love...

My first reaction to seeing it in the gift shop was what beautiful hair she had.

I was struck by how her professionalism and humility came from a place of insecurity, and how her humanitarian work came from a place of sadness rooted in her experience during WWII. Last month I watched the Audrey documentary on Netflix! Nothing new but still lovely to watch :) I liked hearing from her granddaughter. -Audrey | <a href="http://brunchataudreys.com" rel="nofollow">Brunch at Audrey's</a>Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14049606390899743914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780016528181244242.post-17418959907757449802021-04-06T11:04:02.039-07:002021-04-06T11:04:02.039-07:00This was so fun to read and very well written!^^ I...This was so fun to read and very well written!^^ I will definitely be checking out some of these books♡Eunicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266509914803948861noreply@blogger.com
