When it comes to fashion, trends fade and style is eternal. But how do we assure our style is everlasting? Well, a good place to start is to follow some advise from these powerful icons of the past and present. These strong women had the fashion and confidence thing down to a science and are still iconic today. Lets see what advise they have:

Another who shall need no introduction, Audrey Hepburn was catapulted into the fashion limelight after her iconic role in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Though many say she was a true introvert, she has some great advice on how to make your style shine
Jackie O
The first lady of fashion. Jackie O exuded the simplistic, sophisticated look. She loved to "dress it up with diamonds," and believed that the simplest of looks and palettes could take you anywhere. Oh, and she was most known for her pearls, scarves and of course, big, bold sunglasses.
