We all know that Audrey Hepburn is truly a symbol of timeless beauty.

Now, I was lucky enough to stumble across these 5 lovely bloggers who have done an extremely incredible job in dressing up as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s – one of the best movies ever (what did you expect, you’re on an Audrey Hepburn site). It’s always interesting to see how other people interpret someone else’s style. And… they certainly nailed it down and made it their own!

If any of you are curious to learn more about them, I placed a link to their websites.

I highly encourage you to visit them – they all have awesome inspirational how-to’s, tips and tricks that they share. I’ve been happily lost in a sea of their articles for days!

NOTE: The list is not ranking anyone. It’s randomly organized based on email. In other words, don’t ask me to pick a favorite because they all are!

SARA DU JOUR

Website: Sara du Jour

Sara went all out with her Holly Golightly costume by garnishing it with a coffee, sunglasses, and a pastry! I had an extremely hard time selecting a photo from her website because ALL of them looked so beautiful.

I will tell you this –> THIS girl’s eye makeup and lashes are so on point. You can almost see every. single. lash. separated. It is something that every girl strives for whether they have false or real lashes. Luckily, she has some tutorials to recreate it.

MORE DETAIL: Sara is from Toronto, Canada. She enjoys movie marathons, curling up with a good book, and staying up late into the wee hours of the night.

Her site features a lot of interesting things like other awesome looking costumes ( I personally love the Belle one), beauty & fashion, books, advice, food and it’s all nicely showcased.

She has a very warm, witty, and inviting writing style that makes you feel all warm and sparkly inside.

MARIE MCGRATH

Website: The Joy of Fashion

I love the pose that Marie made, she nailed it! She looks flirty, sexy, and classy all at the same time. One of the things I like about Marie’s interpretation of Holly Golightly is that she wears a shorter length dress. This causes the outfit to look more fun and flirty. She also layers the pearl necklaces at different lengths. Something that I need to try out.

I almost didn’t notice this, but she has a tiara on top!

MORE DETAIL: Marie loves fashion and created her website back in 2009 to share with everyone her passion. She was born and raised in a warm tropical country, Panama.

Marie has a very fun and energetic tone to her writing and the topics she picks. You can definitely tell that she is passionate about the things she shares and creates. Extremely insightful and lovely articles, you really need to check her out.

PEI XIAN

Website: Ms Glitzy

Pei is beautifully shown on the left in her stunning Holly Golightly look. She’s even posed the exact same way as one of the cover shoots for Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

She has a big beautiful smile that could lighten up any dark day. Delicately held in her hand is an elegant cigarette holder and for the finishing touch she is topped with a lovely tiara.

Now for those who don’t know, Pei has been on the beauty & fashion blogging arena since 2009! She’s from Singapore and has had a lot of accolades for her website’s endeavors proving that she has a talent for writing and helping others. She has been featured in Technorati’s top 100 fashion blogs and she was in the TOP 10 finalists of the Singapore Blog Awards.

Right now she is taking a break from Msglitzy and focusing on her new venture thetlist.net

I read her bio and was proud to see that not only is she passionate about fashion, but she’s a kind person who’s interested in helping people and her community.

I am honored to have you one this list, Pei!

SARAH BLODGETT

Website: Everyday Starlet

First off, WE LOVE THIS GIRL. She is an absolute doll! If you watch some of her videos, you will know what we’re talking about. Now, on to her look – Sarah took a very refreshing approach to this Holly Golightly look. She’s recreated a modern incarnation of it with an elegant black dress with long sleeves. Around her neck is the focal point to the outfit, which is a bold, beautiful vintage/ modern necklace (reminds me of 1920’s jewelry).

Sarah believes that everyone can be a starlet and she focuses on classic Hollywood styles. And reading her bio, she has quite an inspiring story all women can identify with and is the main drive to why she made her website – helping women feel beautiful when maybe they don’t and helping them have a voice. <3

I have recently watched this girl’s YouTube, and she has such a TV personality and brings such a presence! I’ve posted her YouTube video on the left of her being a StyleCodeLive finalist! We are so proud of this lady! Now, I hate public speaking, so I was holding my breath the whole time when she was on talking on StyleCodeLive. She did such an awesome job, such a pro, and I am extreeeemely impressed and inspired. In her beginning videos, she didn’t talk much actually (maybe she needed time to acclimate to the camera). We think her YouTube channel is really going to take off. She seems so down to earth, relatable, and seems like she’d be cool to hang out with!

PS. Don’t get too close to that air conditioner Sarah!

YUKA YONEDA

Website: Clossette

Yuka is looking gorgeous as usual! With her back leaning against the wall, she exudes a refined attitude while holding “breakfast” in her hands :). I thought this idea was extremely clever that tied the whole costume together. Well done!

Yuka hails from Queens, NY. She is a prolific writer, writing for Ecouterre, The Daily Green, and the New York Times. Her awesome ideas have been featured on The Today Show, Glamour, and HGTV.com.

I have much respect for Yuka and her website. The idea behind her website is really unique because her it focuses on secondhand fashion for people who also want to be sustainable both for the environment and monetarily without skimping on style. Finally! Someone who cares about our environment and our hard earned money!

Her information is PRICELESS, she has a lot of DIY and handy tips for buying and restoring all sorts of things, like this purse – super interesting! She has a plethora of extremely useful DIY at her website and YouTube channel. Plus she’s super nice and writes you back when you make a comment

KATIE MICHELLE

Website: Katie Did What

Katie poses in a regal manner in her beautiful black dress while exuding a confident stoic look! She perfectly captures the lovely essence of Holly Golightly with her up-do hair slightly tussled with her charming companion to the side of her, Cat.

I thought that she pulled things extremely well together! I especially thought it was clever to use the cat. Katie also wore a trench coat for the outfit ( there is a different image on her website) – I haven’t seen many people do this, so it was definitely a refreshing look!

Katie lives in sunny California with her 2 kids and her husband Zack. She created her website to share her life and ideas with everyone. Her husband helps her out with the website and SEO for it. On her website you’ll find all sorts of goodies from motherhood, her fitness tips, diets, routines, etc.

She also is a talented and distinguished writer, writing monthly for mom.me.

She recently gave birth to another child this year, Sophie. Congrats on the newest addition!

Look Stunning with these 4 Audrey Hepburn Halloween Costume Ideas

Melissa — Thu, 01 Oct 2015 23:27:07 +0000

Do you want to channel a stunning starlet and Hollywood icon for your next theme party or Halloween event? Here are Four incredibly glamorous Audrey Hepburn Halloween costume ideas – plus everything you need to successfully piece together each look. We’re gonna make you look good!

Classic Holly Golightly Costume from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”

If you want to emulate Audrey Hepburn, then this iconic costume is the most obvious choice. Here’s everything you’ll need to recreate her look from this beloved film:

A little black dress:

In the film, Audrey wore a floor-length sleeveless gown. However, if you can’t find a dress in this style or it doesn’t look quite right on your body type, just about any “LBD” (little black dress) will do. You can buy a dress online… HOWEVER, I do not recommend it! Especially if halloween is coming soon because what if the dress doesn’t fit… maybe it is too loose, or too tight? I think your best bet here is to go down to your local macy’s or other department store as there are tons of black dresses to choose from.

Black pumps:

Audrey rocked black leather pointed-toe pumps in the film. However, the shoes aren’t really the statement-making aspect of this costume. So if you already own round-toe pumps or sling-back sandals, they will work just fine… as long as they’re black! If you’re a girl, which I’m trusting that you are, then you’ll more than surely have a pair! If not, go down to payless shoe store and grab some cheap ones for $15 – $20.

Black gloves:

Go for a pair of elbow-length black gloves. Not sure where to find them? Check online retailers like Amazon, costume shops or maybe try to scoop up a pair on sale after prom season at your local department store.

$9 – LOOK

Sunglasses:

Definitely check out my Audrey Hepburn sunglasses article. In the 1960s, oversized frames were in fashion. So to accurately recreate this classic look, opt for a pair of large black sunglasses with light gray or purple lenses.

$10 – LOOK

Pearl necklace:

In the film, Audrey wore a short-strand white pearl necklace with many layers. However, just about any length of pearl necklace will work. If you don’t already own similar jewelry, take a trip to your local thrift shop. You might even find some strands from the same era as “Breakfast at Tiffany’s!”

$25 Option $13 Option

Tiara:

The crown jewel to complete this Audrey Hepburn costume idea is obviously the tiara. This is a small (but not understated) silver headpiece with rhinestone accents. You should be able to find something similar at a costume shop or a women’s accessories specialty store.

$10 – LOOK

Cigarette Holder:

This isn’t a real cigarette holder, but it does the job! Now I’m not condoning to smoke because it’s very unhealthy for you. Audrey did smoke a lot on screen and off screen. So for those who want to leave this part out of their costume, that’s totally up to you. I think it completes the whole set up though.

$5 – LOOK

Holly Golightly Set Kit

This is a pretty convenient set offered by the lovely people at Utopiat who do a wonderful job at curating Audrey items for retail.

GET THE KIT

Bedtime Holly Golightly Costume

This is a really easy look to pull off but you need the accessories. I think the hardest thing to get here is the sleep mask. the sleepmask can be made by you or if you don’t have the time, ETSY has a lot of cute masks for sale.

Large Tuxedo Shirt or White shirt – Get the entire costume here!
Sleep Mask – Find this mask here.
Wine Glass
Pink-Orangey Lipstick – THIS ONE is same one Audrey used!
Smokey Eye Shadows – I use these Urban Decay ones
Ear Plugs with Fancy Tassles – Easily find these here.
Bed Slippers
Watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s!

The Princess Ann “Roman Holiday” Costume

If you want an Audrey Hepburn costume idea that’s still recognizable — but a little less obvious than “Breakfast with Tiffany’s” — go with her casual chic ensemble from “Roman Holiday.”

A long A-line skirt:

Before the miniskirt was introduced, long A-lines cuts were the standard in the early 1960s. Pick one that sits at your waist and is approximately mid-calf in length. The color of the skirt doesn’t really matter here because “Roman Holiday” is best remembered as a black and white film.

Waist Belt:

Audrey Hepburn is famously recalled for her slender frame. You can accentuate the smallest part of your waist by donning a wide belt close to the color of your skirt.

Short-sleeve button-down shirt:

In “Roman Holiday,” Audrey wore a white collared button-down with a little bit of volume in the shoulders. If you don’t want to spend the money to buy a brand new white collared shirt, try a short-sleeved plain white tee instead.

Wedge Sandals:

For her character’s fashionable vacation ensemble, Audrey was dressed in brown sandal wedges with crisscross straps. However, the shoes weren’t really the focal point of the look – so anything you own that is neutral in color and comfortable would be an appropriate substitute.

Neckerchief:

Don’t forget the neckerchief!! a small printed scarf that is tied around the neck and carefully slanted to one side. The neckerchief is crucial to establish the time period and it really pulls together the whole look. Neckerchiefs aren’t in fashion anymore but can still be found online easily or in thrift stores.

Jo Stockton Costume from “Funny Face”

Everyone loves Jo Stockton, the kooky bookworm turned fashionista. I love it when she’s dancing in the night club in France, a spectacular performance. Lots of people have copied this SIMPLE LOOK including Kim Kardashian whether you love her or hate her!

Pony Tail w/ Bangs – CHECK!
Black turtleneck
Black stretch Pants or slim cotton pant
White Socks
Black Loafers or Ballet flats
Goofy personality – CHECK!

Breakfast at Tiffany’s Cat and Dog Masks

I recently had an inquiry from Elaine, asking to post some information on where and how to get the breakfast at Tiffany’s Cat and Dog Masks. THIS would be the PERFECT boyfriend / girlfriend combo halloween costume!! Ugh! So cute I could die! <3

They don’t make the “official” masks anywhere I’ve seen. The only closest replica is from a shop at stonenvy, Faery Spell Creations, where they custom make them to order. Pretty cool and pretty close replica with colors! I sort of like the dog mask a lot better than the one Paul wore in the movie – he looked like McGruff the Crime dog! lol
