Breakfast at Tiffany’s

By

With every pass­ing year, I find that set­tling on a Hal­loween cos­tume becomes just a tad bit hard­er with the inevitable increase in opin­ions! Gone are the days when I could just pick what I thought {frankly, knew} was the cutest cos­tume ever and Anabelle, my baby/toddler at the time, did­n’t know any bet­ter and just went with the flow! But this year, when dis­cussing ideas for a cos­tume with my kinder­gart­ner, there was def­i­nite­ly more push back than in pre­vi­ous hol­i­days. Last Hal­loween, Anabelle was the blue macaw, Jew­el, from the ani­mat­ed movie “Rio”, which was super fun! Like many lit­tle girls, she want­ed to be a princess, but was hav­ing a dif­fi­cult time in set­tling on a par­tic­u­lar one. While brain­storm­ing pos­si­bil­i­ties, we were try­ing to think of who she resem­bled and the idea of Audrey Hep­burn in “Break­fast at Tiffany’s” came up because, frankly, is there any­one who fits the title of “princess” bet­ter?! Thus, a cos­tume was cre­at­ed and a princess to sat­is­fy every­one’s wish­es was born!

Anabelle’s Audrey Hep­burn cos­tume was fair­ly sim­ple to put togeth­er and best of all, items that she can and will con­tin­ue to wear! After all, every girl needs a lit­tle black dress. We could not have the themed cos­tume and pass up the chance to take some pic­tures at a Tiffany & Co. store. For­tu­nate­ly, being in Las Vegas, we had the pick of sev­er­al stores on the Strip, so we decid­ed to head to the loca­tion in the Bel­la­gio Hotel. I was a bit hes­i­tant that we were not going to be able to take pho­tos near or in the store, but decid­ed to take the chance… just because we’re crazy like that! Not only were we allowed to take pic­tures, but coin­ci­den­tal­ly, it was the Grand Re-open­ing of the Tiffany & Co. store and the staff could­n’t be more excit­ed, friend­ly and incred­i­bly wel­com­ing! The Direc­tor invit­ed us in to the gor­geous, new­ly remod­eled store, let Anabelle try on jew­el­ry {includ­ing a gor­geous engage­ment ring!}, and gift­ed her with her first Tiffany piece ~ the most pre­cious dou­ble-heart tag pen­dant ~ so she would always “Return to Tiffany”! We were tru­ly touched. I admit­ted my ini­tial trep­i­da­tion to the Direc­tor, to which he replied, “We love to have fun at Tiffany’s!”. Hon­est­ly, I’ve always had a spe­cial love for this store and brand, but after this expe­ri­ence, we will undoubt­ed­ly return.

Hal­loween is not yet here, but Anabelle has already been “treat­ed” like a true princess. ♥

  1. so cute. My daugh­ter just cel­e­brat­ed her 21st birth­day with a Break­fast at Tiffany’s theme. She received her first Tiffany piece too. Made Tiffany blue and white cake­pops, a lay­er cake with a Tiffany blue bow. Cook­ies iced with the famous col­or and ‘engraved’ with 21. The table and room were so fun to dec­o­rate. The Tiffany’s Char­lotte NC store was so fun to shop at. Great theme!

  4. this sto­ry real­ly touched me! i have a whole new respect for Tiffany & Co. now. and you have the per­fect lit­tle princess. that last pho­to is so time­less. i hope you’re get­ting a big print or can­vas of it!

  7. oh my gosh that is the cutest cos­tume and idea I have ever seen! Both your daugh­ter and pic­tures are beautiful!
