Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

We here at the thehepburnmovement strive to show the diversity of pinup/vintage culture every chance we get, to show that ANYONE and everyone can be a pinup regardless of your age, sexual orientation or race. That despite the lack of representation in the media, we exist exist and are here to inspire others to step out into the spotlight. People from all kinds of nationalities and identities make up this community and we aim to show that with every post. We want to highlight the wide variety of pinup/vintage loving people because they come from all walks of life, and deserve to be seen. So without further ado, here's a new weekly addition to our blog to show case the different people that make up this amazing community. We couldn't think of a better time to kick it off then Black History Month, to not only show appreciation for the  different aspects of it but to show our support. We want to help promote a loving environment and  decided to start off by sharing the stories of those close to us and how they became a part of his community.

MO
(@missuniversalorla)

We met Mo purely by chance one night when we decided to take a detour on our way home at Disney springs, it has been the best chance encounter we've ever had by far. We bonded over our love of pinup/vintage fashion, and we have become great friends thanks to this. We've exchanged horror stories,heart ache, fashion secrets and love stories, bonded over our love of old movies and affinity to our grand mothers wardrobes. Mo constantly inspires us everyday with her big heart and kind  personality to be the very best people we can be. She is a no nonsense, innovative, fun loving, talented and incredibly sweet woman and we are lucky to call her our friend, we hope that you enjoy getting to know her as much as we have.

The art of friendship

Do you love art? Do you love Disney? If you answered yes to either of those questions then the Epcot International Festival of the Arts is for you! 2017 is the inaugural year of this new festival and we were lucky enough to go twice! The art festival offered so many different activities to participate in, from learning to draw your favorited animated characters to becoming a work of art! One of our favorite things was that you could become a work of art with your friends! We did just that! We went with our friend Trisha, you might remember her from our last Disney trip, and a new friend! A new friend? YES! Her name is Shiann. Going with friends truly made the art festival unforgettable, we can't wait to go back next year to make more memories and show you our dear readers how it has grown.

Freezing, but fabulous

Winter? In Florida is about is about 75 degrees F or 50 degrees F so not exactly "cold". I have not seen the snow since I was about eight and that was only half a day before it melted (I lived in Georgia). Needless to say I was unprepared for the freezing weather! This poses the question, how to dress Vintage Inspired in colder climates? I learned a couple of tips and tricks I want to share with you! 

1) Layer! Layering will be your best friend! Everyday I was in West Virginia (even when skiing) I wore a turtle neck under my other clothing and fleeced lined tights.

2) Choose wisely! Wear fabrics that will keep you warm, heavy knits, wools, fleece, faux fur and so on.

3) Be functional! Wear boots or shoes made to be in colder climates, I wore water-resistant boots because I was going to be in snow. A boot doesn't need to be ugly to keep you dry and warm! I opted for a pair of black Daisy boots by Arctic Plunge originally $120 but bought of Zulily for $29.99 they are duckbill boots that keep my vintage-inspired look! (Black Daisy Boots)

4) Accessorize! Not only will it keep you warm to have a scarf, a hat, gloves, earmuffs, or socks but it is also an easy way to bring in a vintage element! Fur was a huge staple in Vintage fashion, but since I don't believe in wearing fur I opted for a faux fur that would still look cute and keep me warm! 

5) Have Fun! If you are warm and having fun you will look fabulous! Even if you are in ski pants and a jacket if you are enjoying yourself that is truly beautiful! 

I hope you enjoyed my tips and tricks on dressing for the cold! It was a learning experience for me in many ways, not only was I in snow for the first time in a while, but I also learned to ski! Below are some of the photos from my trip! I hope you all stay nice and toasty during these cold months! 

My trip!

Will you be mine?

It's that time of year again where star crossed lovers declare their love for one another, the world is run ablaze with roses and candy hearts. Love is in the air and it's contagious, you can't escape it wherever you turn. It's Valentine's day, one of our favorite days of the year! Valentine's day is one of the most commercialized holidays of the year, after Christmas of course and we happen to LOVE them both. We know what you're thinking...you do? The answer is yes, because we are hopeless romantics. Granted we take any chance we get to show our loved ones how much we care, it's all about the little things for us but nonetheless we love these holidays all the same. Why? because it's the one day a year that the rest of the world acts just like us, that all you see is a world connected with love, happiness and endless sweets. So we wanted to share that love with you, our dear readers, today by sharing pictures from our Valentine's day shoot. A shoot with our significant others and our darling friend Morasha (Momo) and the talented photographer Tina Cooper. 

Even if you don't celebrate Valentine's Day there is no denying that pink and red makes for adorable outfits! We decided to wiggle into some of our favorite pink/red outfits and do an impromptu photo shoot with our significant others (yes they are twins) and one of our good friends Momo. We went to Disney's Boardwalk resort, which is an amazing resort that has a dance club and dueling pianos as well as countless restaurants! We can't wait to go back again and enjoy the resort some more! Happy Valentine's day our dear readers, remember that its the universal day of love which means you can celebrate whether you're in a relationship or not. Go out there dressed to the nines, spread some love to others and to yourself! Enjoy all the half off deals on sweets and candy, we know that we will!
