Since my Bestie ‘s Big Bro told her that she looks like Audrey Hepburn , I, like our HIMYM Bro Barney
🏁 Challenge Accepted! ☝🏼
Therefore, I had to introduce Evie to her celebrity lookalike😎 who I’ve idolized since I, as a speech pro,
admired her while watching My Fair Lady👒 in my very first junior high speech class
appreciated Tiffany & Co. more, thanks to Breakfast at Tiffany’s💍
Both Hepburn’s timeless⏰ beauty💁🏻 and the Tiffany💎 blue hue are inspirations behind the interior decor at my 💇🏻hairdresser’s salon
Yesterday, we hit Hastings to find a couple of her classics💽
Funny Face🗼 for $aleSabrina💃🏻 for rent
Funny Face on Chanel-inspired red quiltstitch👛 & Sabrina on Tiffany blue
For a tid-bit on Hepburn’s early life, enjoy her adventures from WWII childhood to performing🎫 her way to 🌠stardom!
