Audrey Hepburn Collectibles from Breakfast at Tiffany’s

If you are a movie buff and addicted to iconic movies of the 1950s and 1960s, Breakfast at Tiffany’s will surely be among your favorites along with The Seven Year Itch, Gone with the Wind or the Ten Commandments. These are films that leave an indelible mark on the mind once you leave the theatre and will not be forgotten even after decades.

One of the main attractions about movies of that era is the grandeur and the wide canvas on which the story unfolds. The actors and actresses, the sets, all add value to the movie but what the audience can cling on to forever are the dresses and accessories worn by the stars. Replicas of the outfits are available and these are and will always be in fashion not only amongst the old-timers but the present generation too.

Take the example of the Audrey Hepburn collection from her iconic film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The centerpiece of the collection is the little black dress – a Givenchy creation – that Hepburn wore in the opening scene. Even today it is a favorite, not only at Halloween or costume parties but is also a guaranteed head-turner wherever you choose to wear it.

Then there is the five-strand pearl necklace that goes beautifully with the dress. Held together with three clasps, it sits beautifully around the neck.

Other classics that you can get of the Audrey Hepburn collection from Breakfast at Tiffany’s are long Cinderella gloves, extended cigarette holders, sleep masks and nightshirts.

So go ahead, get your fill of replicas from the movie and relive those glamorous times again.           

Ways to get a Sound Sleep Every Night

Sleeping well every day is as important as the other activities that you take up. It has a direct impact on your mental and physical health and the quality of your waking hours. Falling short of the required hours of sleep can take a heavy toll of your daytime energy, the emotional balance, and even your weight.

However, if you do not get adequate sleep every night simply because you cannot easily drop off into a deep slumber regularly, don’t lose heart. You will be surprised to know that just making plain but critical changes to your daily routine and bedtime habits can get you around this problem. You can get a good night’s rest and sleep and feel mentally sharp, energetic and emotionally balanced throughout the day.

Here are a few tips to get you on your way.

Control exposure to light and sound. Melatonin is a hormone that is secreted by the brain when it is dark and this makes you sleepy. If you are unable to control the surrounding light, wear a good quality sleep mask. Add to the fashion quotient in the bedroom by wearing a soft and exquisite replica of the Holly Golightly sleep mask made famous by Audrey Hepburn in her iconic movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Get in sync with your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. Try to sleep and get up the same time every day. You feel more refreshed and energized this way than if you sleep the same number of hours at different times.

Follow these two tips for a good night’s rest.
