get the look



Breakfast at Tiffany's

Sometimes it's hard to decide what to wear or how to decorate. This series aims to make it a bit easier! We'll show you how to dress like your favorite star from a movie, or how to make your home as posh as your favorite TV show setting. Or how to go boho chic or do your bungalow up like a Paris apartment. 

And what better way to start this off than with the super chic look worn by the iconic Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's? Let's break this look down, shall we?

You must start with the classic Little Black Dress. This movie made a staple of the LBD and it continues to be as important today as it ever was. Check out this cute number by Lucia Verona:



Coming in at $95 dollars this classic dress is a must!

How about those oversized shades from the movie? Check out these from SunofaBeachEyewear:



Of course you need a classic black shoe for this look. Try these stiletto pumps from Vintage201:



Add a pair of opera length black satin gloves to take the look to the next level — and then consider the jewels. Audrey is blinged out in this movie —  think pearls and diamonds. For the earrings, consider a vintage option, like this one from moondogcottage:



And lastly, as the icing on a big, beautiful cake, why not make your very own chunky pearl and "diamond" necklace! Check out this great tutorial from PS I Made This. There's even a video version on Fashionista.

Now go and get your Audrey on.

Bright colorful glass jewelry.... i don't even own a... gasp, and hold your breath... LBD..... oh dear~! But I did enjoy this FLB... fun little blog~! CUTE~!
