How To: Become Holly Golightly


This was a throw together DIY costume. I've always been intrigued by Audrey Hepburn's role in Breakfast at Tiffany's and when I realized I'd be going to a Halloween Party sans husband, I figured, "Why not?"

So. Here's how the magic happened.

You will need:

  • Black Dress: any kind will do but preferably one with a high collar and short sleeves!
  • Big Jewelry: Statement earrings, necklace, and bracelet. Also a tiara!
  • Black sunglasses
  • Black gloves
  • Long Cigarette Holder: Got mine at Party City.
  • Black Shoes
Besides the Long Cigarette Holder, and maybe the black gloves, you probably have all these things! Or someone who would let you borrow them;)

What I had to buy was a statement necklace. I went to Charming Charlie to see what they had on clearance. One of the employees fastened two necklaces together to make this baby for me. So stinking awesome!


Hair: I am partial to top buns so this was easy. Tease, spray, and pin as needed. The bigger the better. Add the tiara!
For makeup I just wore a layer of BB Cream, filled in the brows, blush, and a subtle cat eye liner.




Made sure my Trick or Treat bag complemented my outfit. And my resting "B" face...




Found the lovely CC mastermind that created my necklace!
