My introduction to Tiffany's was of course through the cinematic brilliance of Blake Edward's Breakfast At Tiffany's (1961). I think I was about 10 years old when I first saw it. It just happened to be on the telly one night and I was transfixed and by the end of it, in love with Audrey Hepburn! I mean, who wouldn't be?
I went to the library (as one did in those days) to find out all I could about who she was. I couldn't get enough of the light that was Audrey. I still can't today and on the weekend I got to see my friend Amanda experience Audrey's talent and beauty by watching Breakfast at Tiffany's and Roman Holiday with her for her first time. I could not believe that after knowing Amanda for almost my whole life, she had never told me that she hadn't seen any of Audrey's movies before - I was shocked! But boy was it was fun too!
My first piece of Tiffany's jewellery was given to me by my hubby on our 6th wedding anniversary. I was pregnant with our second daughter and not feeling the best (thank you morning sickness). I was overwhelmed and just so happy that the the Elsa Peretti pendant I had coveted for so long was actually mine!
Since then he has bestowed upon me two other Tiffany's gifts, earrings and a bracelet. I just love them (and him for giving them to me of course!)
My first visit to a Tiffany's store was in Chifley Place in Sydney. It was brilliant! I felt like Holly Golightly! There were no purchases that day, but what a thrill, just to experience Tiffany's! I cannot wait to go to New York and visit the very store that Holly Golightly felt so safe in: Holly: "Don't you see how nothing bad can ever happen to you in a place like this?"
Can't wait!
