If I had to choose just one person who has truly influenced my style it would be Audrey Hepburn. From the first time I saw the cover to for Breakfast at Tiffany's I was smitten. The more of her films I saw, the more I loved everything about her, not just her style but her gracefulness and poise as well.
Today's post is a little tribute to Ms. Hepburn to commemorate the summer when I first saw Breakfast at Tiffany's exactly 20 years ago and also to celebrate my new partnership with Haoduoyi. They're a company I just discovered and am very excited to work with. This is my first purchase with them and I decided to take this lovely 50s style dress to the library to recreate the scene where Fred discovers Holly Go-Lightly studying up on Brazil since she intends to marry Jose DaSilva-Perrera.
There aren't that many touching cinema moments that take place in a library, but I think there should definitely be more. Such a quiet, thoughtful place of discovery and reflection. I'm surprised more lives and loves don't begin and end there..beyond those between the sheets of paper that is.
Dress Review: This dress is well made of heavy fabric. ordered it in a size Small as the website suggested that customers size up one size. I normally wear a size 0 and this fit like a 2 or 4 in my opinion. So it was a bit loose, but fit fairly well. Just a size down would have been perfect, but unfortunately this was the smallest size available. The skirt is lined, ironing was a cinch, and it didn't wrinkle up again as I wore it throughout the day. A great dress and for less than $20.
