I was watching Breakfast at Tiffany's the other day and found lots of little inspirational bits, so I thought I'd share them here.
1. Write more hand written notes (a small present is good, too)
2. Invest in a solid pump (and cute ankle watch)
3. Use a typewriter more often
4. Even a sweatshirt and jeans can be worn with grace
5. hot dogs will never be out of fashion
6. black shirt, sunglasses, big hair
7. A bright coat is great!
8. The five and dime used to be WAY cooler
9. A girl could always use a goldfish
10. a half bathtub looks better as a planter than as a couch
11. pink fluffy cake always looks fancy
12. Pigtails done the right way can be chic
Ah...I love tihs film.
ha! excellent lessons.

For real! Now it's a DOLLAR, and there aren't even any cute little masks to steal.

I agree. Fabulous film! Last night I wrote some notes, perhaps tonight I'll practice my guitar (if only I had a fire escape) with big hair and a sweatshirt, wearing my ankle watch.

Fantastic post - I think one of the reasons this movie is so iconic is because the style is so timeless and classic.

I love Miss Hepburn!! Especially as Holly Golightly! Fun things you came up with, so true about the notes.. It's such a fun yet simpel gesture!
