"This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about."-Marilyn Monroe

One of my favorite old Hollywood stars (and all time American icons) is Marilyn Monroe. She was a gorgeous woman and a brilliant actress, as demonstrated by the Golden Globe nomination for Bus Stop; BAFTA nomination for The Prince and the Showgirl and David D. Donatello award for Prince and the Showgirl; and a Golden Globe award for Some Like It Hot.  Moreover, I included the quote above as an inspiration for fellow fashionistas. The following photos some of her cutest and most memorable beach moments:
