With all of the pictures floating around from NYFW, I made a point to track down some of the uber stylish stylist June Ambrose. She's a New York fixture and one of my favorite "women of style." As evidenced by picture two, her daughter is a "fashion star" in her own right! Although the last picture is not from fashion week, I just couldn't leave it out.....love that Burberry trench coat!

This eighty-six year old lady is the epitome of style. She wears big, bold jewelry and beautiful ornate clothing. So popular is she, that a book was written about her titled: THE IRREVERENT IRIS APFEL: RARE BIRD OF FASHION. The book contains clothing and jewelry that is absolutely breathtaking. I like the fact that she has and revels in her "individual style". She does not follow the "fashion path"....she has created her own.
I think that she will always be remembered most for her role in Breakfast At Tiffany's, but from what I have read about her, she was a beautiful person inside and out. Here is a quote that was spoken by her
that I think sums up the type of person that she was...."never let yourself grow up believing that anybody if different from anybody else.....love each other and do what you can for your neighbor".
Billie Holiday gave new meaning to singing a song.
Another "lady of style"
