Whether lounging at home or covering those shoulders for a night on the town, a fur stole is a must for channeling Audrey's beguiling style. A vintage mink will do just fine, especially one like this beautiful pocketed version.

These gems may be from the 80s, but they possess the same elegance as the pair Audrey is so gracefully wearing. Not too big, not too small, and with a nautical touch - sold.

A strong woman keeps a strong brow, and Ms. Hepburn's certainly meant business. An expert consultation could be beneficial to get the right color for you, but Clé de Peau Beauté Eyebrow & Eyeliner Compact is our favorite by far.

Audrey rarely had a blood red lip - if you look closely in colored photos, her pout almost always had a tint of coral or orange. Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick in stiletto is the perfect orange-red that will have you channeling her in no time.

Sweeping your hair into a perfect undo doesn't have to be a difficult task. The key is to get your strands to stay put without weighing them down. Oscar Blandi Lacca Hairspray adds volume, controls frizz and adds shine, all in a few sprays.

Take your hair to new heights - A bombshell doesn’t have flat, limp, lifeless hair sprouting from her pretty little head. Take a tip from Bridget Bardot and add some sexy volume to your coif. Get higher with a teasing comb and Oribe Volumista Mist, which swells each hair shaft to remarkable lushness, brilliant luster and incredible volume.

Manashe has put $4 million into the transformation that is already well underway. He’s hired the former buyer of Boogies in Aspen to restock his store, and has gutted the main lobby.

Here is what it looked like just a few short months ago. It was essentially a valley of kiosks. BEFORE:

And NOW:

Here, let me take you on a brief tour of its three levels. There are nooks and crannies at every turn to get lost in, places I haven’t discovered yet. And as of this moment, rooms that are vacant from all of the retailers that were forced to evacuate.

Okay, catch your breath.

Out of the whole place, one that will certainly stay is Old Hollywood. With another location in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, this shop is one of the main draws for The Limelight Marketplace, and thus is one of the lucky few shops to remain through the turnover. Storeowner Tiffany Porter began her store by selling mostly vintage pieces, but now she features a whole host of new designers. Her most popular jewelry designer is Kaoru, a meticulous Japanese designer. Among dozens of the other designers she carries, Pendleton has been flying off her shelves. The old world quality of her display and the pieces within bring a sense of timeless rusticity to the space. She is very relieved that there is longer a giant winged statue from the former candy store below, blocking her 2nd story shop from eyeshot. (see below)

A history lesson on the Church of Fashion:

It opened as a Catholic Church in 1853 to much architectural acclaim, but then was decommissioned when the neighborhood died by the start of the 1970s. It then became a much-needed mid-seventies drug rehab center. Turns out, those people didn’t need or want the rehab, because it was bought by club owner Peter Gatien and christened The Limelight in 1983. Then 1996, a party promoter allegedly brutally murdered a drug dealer, which spawned the 2003 Macaulay Culkin/Seth Green movie The Party Monster. After opening and closing at the police mandate, the club officially closed and reopened in 2003 under the name Avalon. That party ended in 2007 and the space became home to random sample sales, and probably homeless people. Then in May of 2010, it was converted into The Limelight Marketplace. And it changes shapes again.

Best of luck to Jack Manashe. He’s got a 20 year lease on the place, and quite a house to clean.

Beautiful, stylish and always at the ready with a fresh cocktail or a witty remark (often both) Nora  is married to retired detective/functioning alcoholic Nick Charles (the brilliant William Powell).

In town for the holidays, Nick and Nora are ensnared in a murder mystery after the mistress of one of Nick’s old client’s turns up dead. Nick is then beseeched by said client’s willful daughter to help clear her father’s name.

Based on Dashiell Hammett‘s novel of the same name, what follows is a twisty-turny whodunit sharper than anything Hollywood has turned out in decades. In fact, Powell and Loy’s chemistry proved so dynamic they were reunited for five more sequels (they eventually starred in 14 films together), but this was far and away their best outing.

Costume designer Dolly Tree keeps Nora looking every inch the socialite, but for a film almost 80 years old, her wardrobe is surprisingly modern. Nora is prone to fur and dramatic sleeves, but she also sports a silk jumpsuit, a bowtie and an evening gown that passes for revealing even by today’s lax standards.

It’s hard to pick Nora’s best look — she’s in the film for maybe 35 minutes in total but like any lady worth her salt she has no less than 8 wardrobe changes — however the dress she dons for the Charles’ Christmas party ranks high on the list. Asymmetrical…tiers…a study in stripes….it’s like she’s a gorgeous candy cane:

Then there’s this subtle nightgown:

I mean, if you’re going to go to bed, why not throw on a silk negligee with floor-sweeping sleeves and fur trim? It beats a Snuggie any day of the week.

Though originally intended as a B picture and shot in only two weeks, The Thin Man went on to earn four Oscar nominations and remains one of the best — and certainly one of the most stylish — comedies of Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Anne looked stunning and statuesque in a purple Armani Privé Spring 2011 Couture gown. I love the glamorous air she radiates in this dress that literally shines.

For her absolutely smashing singing performance that should put her immediately on Broadway, Anne wore a custom Lanvin tuxedo with custom Swarovski crystal-encrusted Brian Atwood satin pumps. She looks like a classic beauty performing in an old Hollywood movie. Can’t get enough!

Anne is truly a modern day movie star. She obviously stole the show even though I love James Franco and thought he looked smashing as well. Sigh.

Hollywood glam meets New York City party girl glam is one way to describe Jenny Packham’s Fall 2011 collection. This line is filled with chiffon silk dresses bedazzled in beautiful black, gold and silver sequins. Her amazing bead work was on full display with lots of small details, like the floral sequin designs, that can be found on each piece. She played with the idea of building sequin over sequin, but kept the fabric from being weighed down to keep it moving with the body. Her staple silk gowns in champagne and blush tones also made a guest appearance. Floor length dresses with thigh-high slits were reminiscent of old Hollywood glam. This line doesn’t have your typical staple pieces but has nothing but head-turning garments.
