I think most of you can relate when I say that I want to be Holly Golightly. The quirky, lovely, perfect, and beautiful Holly that everyone adores. So that is exactly what I did. For one night I became Holly Golightly. Below is my tutorial on making your own Breakfast at Tiffany’s costume!
Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful actress. She did amazing work and I love almost all of her movies. Her style, so chic and classic, is one of the things I love the most. The first movie of her I watched was, of course, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The whole movie is fascinating but the most memorable parts are while she is having her croissant at Tiffany’s in that gorgeous black gown and the scene she opens her door in a night-gown and that amazing sleeping mask.
It was too hot to wear my Mary Poppins costume and I just wasn’t feeling Dorothy. Pinterest suggested a few audrey pins for me and as soon as I saw the sleeping mask I just knew I had to make it myself. I got so excited I ran to Michaels and made it the day before Halloween!
I won’t post a DIY since I actually googled how to make a sleeping mask and found a few tutorials. I will however, just post the materials I used because trust me it makes a difference! It came out beautiful, better than the ones I saw online and a lot better than what I expected!
