Breakfast at Tiffany's & a Timeless Trench Coat

Who could ever forget Audrey Hepburn's big break as a hopeless romantic in the timeless classic Breakfast at Tiffany's.  Hepburn's naive and eccentric character, Holly Golightly, spends her time at wealthy parties, meeting high-class men who take her on expensive dates.  But portraying a childlike innocence and carefree spirit, she fears the ever so inevitable commitment to a cheeky romance spawned by a new neighbor in the area, which will unknowingly cost her more than her Givenchy clothing and accessories.

Even despite her blithe and airy innocence, Audrey Hepburn's character is doused in the most desired of designer clothing!  Although most of her outfits have stolen the hearts of many on the flawless Audrey Hepburn, the light-beige trench coat doubling as a chic raincoat made the final scene impossible to ignore!

I came across a beautiful vintage trench/raincoat that is nearly identical to that of Audrey Hepburn's on an Etsy shop known as Bop and Awe, owned by a wonderful woman in town.  Bop and Awe is an online vintage shop that collects vintage clothing from as early as the 50s!  The trench coat I am referring to portrays a beautiful, light-beige silhouette with chest and hip pockets, buttons, a cinching belt, and more!  It is at an extremely reasonable price for a vogue raincoat from the 70's that will keep you looking chic in the rain!  


I am absolutely in love with this piece!  It is perfect for a night out or even just a cover up for another outfit.  Click here to view more details on this lovely, one of a kind, vintage piece and be sure to check out Bop and Awe's pleated skirt collection as well!  Enjoy the photos below!

J'adore Peplum!

Peplum: Forever 21, Skirt: Express, Shoes: Forever 21, Bag: Steinmart

I've previously written about peplums with their rising popularity and flattering shape, but I just simply cannot get enough!  With an eventful evening ahead, I paired soft, neutral colors like camel, black, and creams to accentuate my hair and skin while also complementing the warm, summer atmosphere. Camel is another trending color this spring and summer as well. I chose a soft, suede camel color for the shoes because you simply can never go wrong with browns, and going just a few shades lighter is perfect for the sunny season.  Finally, the subtle contrast of the pastel, pink bag gives a feminine, flirty touch to this achromatic outfit.  

The shoes I am wearing have been extremely anticipated.  I remember seeing Jeffrey Campbell booties last summer while shopping at Nordstorm with a friend who is majoring in fashion design.  Being naive and completely oblivious to anything high fashion, I thought they were probably the ugliest shoes I had ever set my eyes on, but my friend was entirely obsessed with them.  However, now my perception of the fashion world has turned a whole 180 degrees, and I have been looking for a pair of Jeffrey Campbell knock-offs for quite some time now.  When I found the shoes above in a local Forever 21 store, I became obsessed with them.  They are 1/5 the retail price of Jeffrey Campbell booties, and although they do not portray the signature double platform that his designs so often possess, it was still one of my most beloved and sought after purchases.   

As for the peplum, I am absolutely in love with them, so I am going to splurge a bit on why they are so great.  Because of the brilliant combination of being cinched at the waist and flared out towards the bottom, peplums give a the loveliest silhouette to any shape.  They are flattering, flirty, and chic: the perfect combination.

Enjoy! XoXo
