While I learned quite a few bits of trivia about Audrey Hepburn from this book, What Would Audrey Do? is as much about the author’s personal sense of style as it is about Audrey Hepburn’s legacy. But then, who would want to read What Would Pamela Keogh Do? Precious few. Skip reading this book and spend the time re-watching Audrey Hepburn’s classic films. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
From the New York Times bestselling author of Audrey Style comes a charming guide to Audrey Hepburn'inspired living for the modern woman Audrey Hepburn epitomized grace and style, not only in her appearance but in her very essence. Whether in fashion, relationships, her work on the screen, or for UNICEF and her home life, there is no one more worthy of imitation. How did she do it? What Would Audrey Do? is the answer: a complete Audrey primer, with rich anecdotes and insight from the people who knew her best, and Audrey-inspired lessons in loveliness, including: · Dating advice from the woman who enjoyed romances with John F. Kennedy, William Holden, and Albert Finney · What made her an icon, and how to apply her style choices to twenty-first-century clothes, makeup, and accessories · Raising children, trying to raise husbands, and making home life balanced in every way · How to travel, what to pack, and maintaining your cool on the road · Using renown (long before Angelina and Bono got all the press) to help others around the world · Insight into her rich interior life and the discipline, intelligence, and generosity that made her so compelling In an era fraught with selfishness, flamboyance, and sensational headlines, Audrey as a role model is precisely what the world needs.

What I liked about it: This book is adorably pretty, if unashamedly girly (but it is aimed squarely at women); it’s about Audrey, who is so adored by many, including myself; there is quite a lot of biographical info in here; some of the tips are do-able.
What I didn’t like about it: You need money (lots) to do some of the things suggested, although by no means all of them; the book encourages people to find their own style while also telling readers how to adopt Audrey’s style (!?); there is quite a lot of ‘filler’ – for example, a list on how to tell the differences between Audrey and that other great actress named Hepburn, Kate. It’s a fair bet that anyone reading this already knows which one is which, after all; it assumes a lot about what Audrey would have liked or things she would have done, were she still with us.
Overall, it’s a nice book for fans, if for no other reason than it will look lovely on a bookshelf. However, I think the time spent reading it would be better spent on reading a good biography of Miss Hepburn, or watching some of her films. ( )
