Breakfast at Tiffany's

Roman Holiday

At the start of a new year, and thus a new beginning, simplicity in life is key. Lets start with the basics and learn from a woman who knew them well.

There are some pieces that are just about as timeless as Audrey herself . Through her example, she helped every woman discover the beauty to be found in understated elegance and the wardrobe items that exude it.

Here's my list of basics every woman needs to start off fresh in the New Year with Audrey-worthy glamour:

1. a black cashmere turtleneck
2. skinny black trouser pants
3. black and white striped 3/4 length t-shirt
4. khaki double-breasted, knee-length trench
5. black shift dress with simple detailing
6. a classic white cotton button-up blouse
7. well-fitted blue jeans
8. neutral coloured fitted button-up cardigan
9. classic black pumps with shapely high heel
10. black ballerina flats

Why not change your hairstyle while your at it?

Go for an Audrey-inspired pixie cut or bold bangs for something a little more subtle.

All the best for your new beginning!
