Book Style: To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill A Mockingbird




I've made Scout into a modern young lady with this To Kill a Mockingbird outfit. I think Harper Lee would be pleased with my bird motif Toms for Scout, they do support a worthy cause, after all. A playful and comfy romper and cardigan combo is perfect for Scout's no nonsense tomboy mentality. A lightweight scarf, colorful watch, and pretty necklace bring everything together. And I just couldn't resist these "Atticus" sunglasses.

Book Style: Breakfast At Tiffany's

Breakfast At Tiffany's


Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote is an undisputed classic, although I do prefer the movie to the book in this case; I just think the movie evokes more of Holly's personality, so shoot me. I think this edition's cover is particularly apropos as it conveys the city life, 1960s, and the trademark Tiffany blue all so beautifully. Since Holly Golightly is technically a working girl, albeit a rather high-end one, I decided to play with that theme a create a corporate working girl appropriate outfit. A simple sheath, minimalist blazer and sexy but classy pumps work well together. Some Tiffany jewelry was a must, of course. I love these cat-eye frames to pay homage to the retro look this book title will always invoke in any of us that have ever seen the Audrey Hepburn film.
