life, there is no one more worthy of imitation.
How did she do it? "What Would Audrey Do?" is the answer: a

people who knew her best, and Audrey-inspired lessons in
loveliness, including:
- Dating advice from the woman who enjoyed romances with John F.
Kennedy, William Holden, and Albert Finney
- What made her an icon, and how to apply her style choices to
twenty-first-century clothes, makeup, and accessories
- Raising children, trying to raise husbands, and making home life
balanced in every way
- How to travel, what to pack, and maintaining your cool on the
road
- Using renown (long before Angelina and Bono got all the press)
to help others around the world
- Insight into her rich interior life and the discipline,
intelligence, and generosity that made her so compelling
In an era fraught with selfishness, flamboyance, and sensational
headlines, Audrey as a role model is precisely what the world
needs.
