Bateau, Bateau, Pick!

There's something very classic and elegant about a "bateau" or "boat" neckline.

One reason behind this is because of Audrey Hepburn. She's always been the epitome of class and elegance, and she would wear this neckline a lot - both in films and in real life.

Who can forget her LBD with the bateau neckline that she wore in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." In "Sabrina," she also wore this type of dress almost throughout the entire film. Guess that's why it's also known as the "Sabrina" neckline.

It then comes as no surprise that I'm also on the constant look-out for dresses and tops with this neckline type.

And yes, Kashieca had it!

This pretty dress is great for lounging around at home. It's made of cotton fabric with a classic heather grey and white stripe. The neckline is bateau, and it has extended sleeves. The design and print is so classic and chic, it's easy to wear it anywhere.

Now, if you're going out on an errand or a quick mall run, it's easy to dress it up with this jacket. Yes, it's the same Kashieca jacket that I wrote about a few days ago.

This combination is so fashionable, it's no wonder I picked it!

FMM: The river runs through it

Still on that Audrey Hepburn high.

So, today's Friday Magic Madness song is an homage to her. Particularly, her rendition of "Moon River" from the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's."



Just like Audrey, this is definitely a classic.

And Audrey Hepburn get her very own google search icon in celebration of her 85th birthday! How cool is that?

She totally deserves it. After all, if you search timeless style and elegance on google, chances are, you'll be directed to her.

Holiday on a bus

Since I take the bus on my way to work, I get to see a wide variety of "bus films."

Most often, they're pirated DVD versions of films that are currently showing. For example, the bus I took last week from Ortigas to Cubao was showing "After Earth."

There are the perennial B-movies. These are straight-to-DVD American films that star no-name actors in films with ridiculous plots and bad special effects.

Then, there are the Pinoy classics. Or old Filipino films - the ages of which vary from the 80s (Chiquito films) and the 90s (some Ronnie Ricketts action flicks) to some films from the mid to late 2000s.

Just when I thought I've seen it all, today's bus ride from Cubao to Ortigas had a surprising choice for a bus film.

Yup, they were showing the Audrey Hepburn classic, "Roman Holiday." Needless to say, most of the passengers were oblivious to it, but I was transfixed on the screen.

Heck, I even thought of going all the way to Makati just so I could finish the film. Harhar.
