iris apfel

i’ve always admired style icon iris apfel, but it wasn’t until watching her today show interview yesterday that i fell in love with this adorably sweet woman. aside from the fact that she takes up modeling in her spare time, she’s just like any other soft spoken woman of 90. iris prides herself on ’embracing the authenticity of aging’ and made a statement of herself this past january when she became the face of mac cosmetics launching a collection of bird-inspired bold lipsticks which flew off the shelves. we should all take a page out of iris’s book and become ‘our own beauty icon’.
