Breakfast at Tiffany's


Breakfast at Tiffany's is and always will be one of my favorite movies of all time, as well as Audrey Hepburn as my favorite actress. Breakfast at Tiffany's is a true classic and people are still inspired from it today. In 2012, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.  Below I have the items that give me the best "Audrey feel", enjoy!

J. Crew June Wants

    J. Crew has and always will be everyone's top obsession. It is known for its well made, Italian clothing and accessories, you can never go wrong when shopping at J. Crew. If it was the Herringbone Vest or the Linen skirts that have pulled you in you know what I am talking about, but it is a good thing right? Always. I have put together my top favorites at J. Crew that month (well at least half). Enjoy!

Never flashy. Always confident.



Sloane Ranger clothing brand is not only classic but modern. I have loved this brand since day one, they have great items that are different but modern and simply. They have any carry ons and cross body's, which are great for a weekend get away or a walk downtown.

7. Never flashy tee $38.00

Self tanner

The last thing you want to hear in your head after slathering on self-tanning lotion is that Oompa-Loompa song. We've all been duped by too-orange self-tanners, no? Nothing's worse than trying to do the right thing by avoiding the sun and arduously applying a lotion, cream, foam, gel or spray to your body, only to wind up with dark elbows and streaky legs. I have tried them all, from high end like Dior or drug store brands. 


1.  Dior bronze autobronzant self tanner natural glow body $35 

2.Sun Laboratories Dark Eunsation Self Tanner Ltion $49.99 
3. Body drench quick tan sunless tanning mist $19.95  
4. fake Bake self tanning moose $28.95
5. Shiseido brilliant bronze tinted self tanning gel  $30
6. Sally beauty salon bronze airbrush tanning system  $12.99

Real vs. Steal

Great sandals are hard to find. However, when you do find that "perfect shoe" aka Tory Burch Sandals they are a bit over priced, yet so worth it every time. Tory Burch has become much talk of every conversation lately, from her crossbodies or her sandals. You can just never go wrong. Tory has many sandals to choose from but the most spoke about pair are the Miller Sandals. These Sandals by Tory Burch can be paired with a pair of dark jeans or a shift dress. They can go from casual to dress in a matter of seconds, which is always a huge benefit. But are they still worth the extra cash? You be the judge.
