Being Audrey

It was my friend's birthday yesterday and the theme she chose for it was 'Musicals'. All of my favorite musicals come from the 40's and 50's, so I sought through them and thought about which character I could be. However I soon realised that none of the musicals had any characters that people would recognise. I wondered if I could take a character from one of my favorite's, 'Funny Face' with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire, but I thought that no one would recognise Audrey from that film. I then remembered that 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' had recently been made into a West End show and I could dress up as Audrey's character 'Holly Golightly'! I got the dress, the pearls, and for the all important hairstyle I followed a tutorial on YouTube by Strawberry Koi Vintage (who also has an amazing blog http://strawberrykoi.blogspot.com/). And this is the finished look!

I had a wonderful time re-creating this look and will definitely be doing it again soon! With a little help from my friend Amy for the hair...
