Darling Audrey...

The world's sweetheart, and my personal hero, Audrey Hepburn, just got sweeter. Her life has been turned into a children's book! It is the most darling written and illustrated thing I have ever seen.

Entitled "Just Being Audrey," it tells her story from ballet shoes to UNICEF ambassador. Not only does it educate the reader on Audrey's influence on fashion, film, and humanitarianism, but also of the greater message of her life: never be afraid of who you are.

This story was put together by two super talented women. It was written by Margaret Cardillo and illustrated by Julia Denos. Both have been touched and influenced by Audrey in different ways and you can see the love they have for her come through in their work. And if you've fallen in love with Julia's illustrations like I have then you need to check out her blog and website for more.
These ladies have truly captured the essence of Audrey and I am so glad to have gotten a sneak peek at the book. It's official release date is January 25th but Anthropologie is selling this book and we got some copies earlier this week. So mark your calendars and get this book!

Big Success!

Big news here at little yellow apple. I exist on my very own website: http://www.littleyellowapple.com/ !

My sweetheart of a boyfriend surprised me with this gift for Christmas. It was just a little piece of paper wrapped up with the web address written on it. I cried I was so touched. Isn't it nice to have such passionate cheerleaders in your life? I am so grateful to him and his sweet gesture. So save the new link in your Google reader or your bookmarks and continue on with the fun!

Anthropologie's Roadtrip

Anthropologie – Roadtrip Video

This video is making my morning! I totally love the new direction Anthro has taken lately with the advertisement of their clothing. Such a smart idea. They premiered the idea in October when they showed video vignettes of women out and about in the streets of New York. But this new "Let's Get Lost" video really turns up the "I need to have that outfit right now" screams to an 11! The vintage montage of sunshine, light breezes, and playfulness of the girl leave me wanting printed dresses, easy jackets, and flowy cardigans.

Here are some of the outfits I'm drooling over:
