Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the Iconic Pearl Necklace

Anyone who has seen the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961 when it was released or in 2011 fifty years and a generation later will not forget the first scene. It is Audrey Hepburn alighting from a taxi on a deserted, misty, early morning New York street and walking slowly towards Tiffany’s Fifth Avenue showroom. What caught the eye apart from her demeanor is the gorgeous black satin dress and the strands of pearls that she wears. Today, a replica of this pearl necklace is must-have jewelry for any modern fashion conscious woman.
 
Here is a run-down of the famous Audrey Hepburn pearl necklace from Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Holly Premium 5 Strand Pearl & Crystal Necklace

It is a high-quality replica of the original with 5 strands of man-made pearls and a 100% crystal- encrusted pendant. Two attachment clips hold the strands together so that they do not fall out of place or get entwined when the wearer is walking or otherwise in motion. The diameter of the longest strand is 35in and that of the shortest is 25in.

The length of the pendant is 4in and width is 2.5in. The clips on both sides are each 1.8in. The necklace is handmade with eco-friendly top quality crystals and is ideal for those wanting to add a touch of extra glamour on any occasion or recreate the magical Audrey Hepburn moment.

You can either opt for the standard packing of a chic black organza bag for easy storage or an exclusive Tiffany-inspired blue gift box wrapped in pink satin ribbons to present the necklace to someone special in your life.   

Iconic Fashion and Style in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Looking back, it seems that Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffany’s fused seamlessly together. But did you know that author of the book on which the movie was based, Truman Capote, wanted Marylyn Monroe to play the role of call girl Holly Golightly? It was a welcome break for Audrey Hepburn from being a princess and a chauffeur’s daughter, roles she had played till then.

Hepburn and Hubert de Givenchy worked closely on designing her wardrobe. What she wore in the film was simple, elegant and iconic. Breakfast at Tiffany’s was the movie that made the black sheath dress a winner for all times. If you look for a replica of a Breakfast at Tiffany’s dress for sale, this black dress will be the first that you will be offered.

The dress is a black satin gown with a low-cut back, worn with long, black satin gloves and a Tiffany necklace of multiple strands of pearls and topped with a diamond hair ornament. The dress is worn by Audrey Holly Golightly Hepburn in the opening scene when she alights from a taxi early morning in front of Tiffany’s.

Another memorable costume was the man’s shirt that Hepburn wears to bed. It was created by Edward Head who designed the other costumes of the actor in the film. The outfit along with the sleeping mask was unique and exclusive.

Of the movie, Hepburn had said, “I should be a stylish Holly Golightly, even if that’s all I can contribute”.

Tips to Buy Clothing for Children

You cannot be more wrong if you think that kid’s clothing is just a mini version of what you buy for yourself. Kids have unique and exclusive needs in every sphere of their lives, and their clothes are no exception.

What then are some of the factors to look out for when buying dresses for children?

The most critical point to consider in kids’ dresses is the safety factor, especially for toddlers and children under the age of 5. Make sure that the dress does not have a zip closure that can hurt the kid and buttons that are not loose as kids tend to grab anything and put it in their mouths. In this connection, check out the kids Audrey Hepburn dress. You will find that the iconic Holly Black Dress does not have buttons or zips.

The next point and this has partly got to do with the safety factor too is to buy dresses without many embellishments. While these make kids look cute, too many of them can harm the kid’s skin when you are changing dresses in a hurry. 

Do not splurge on kid’s clothing unless of course they are specially bought for select occasions. Children grow up quickly, and you have to buy new-sized clothes frequently. Further, the clothes take a lot of beating when they play in the mud and dirt. For daily wear buy budgeted garments only.
These are some of the tips to keep in mind when shopping for kid’s clothing.   

Selecting the perfect Holiday gift

 A standout among the most wide-spread customs in this world is gift giving. Birthday celebrations, marriages, receptions, housewarming parties, and obviously festivals, are the events that typically present us with a golden chance to show our feelings and express our gratitude in form of gifts.

There is no dearth of gift guides, and there are a lot of online blogs where we can stumble on to various ideas for Christmas gifts.  Yet, when we eventually settle on that one choice, we usually remain unsure of whether it's the correct one or not.

 One way to deal with this conundrum is to allow the receiver to pick his or her own gift. If you want to surprise your loved ones, then you need to do a little bit of groundwork. Make a rundown of their interests. Take a cue from their online networking channels and you may discover their preferences or the brands or people they are interested in. For example, if your wife is an Audrey Hepburn fan, it would be wonderful to present her with Audrey Hepburn Christmas gifts. Make a rundown of the things your loved ones are keen on and characterize who they are– the more drawn out the list, the better the chance of selecting the perfect gift.
