Fifth Avenue Meets Nob Hill

So, a little over a year ago I was getting ready to do my senior photo shoot. And while some of my friends' normal shoots did turn out great, the run of the mill stock shots were not for me. I went in a whole new direction: re-shoots of famous Audrey Hepburn pictures. Here are some of the shots:

It was actually really easy to put together. I went to Dillards for the hat and bought a bunch of pearl strands (though I found out today that JC Penny's of all places has the best price on pretty high quality glass pearls, bought some really cute pieces), put an old brooch I had on it to make her famous necklace. Alxardnax helped me with makeup tips, and I put my hair up in a "sock" bun, and then made my own bangs by looping the first centimeter of my hair. I got the shirt I was wearing at Target (every now and then you can find some cute things), and the gloves from a costume ship for like five bucks. Cigarette holder was a few bucks from a cigar store.
All the shots are at places around Nob Hill in Albuquerque. Objects of Desire let me use their storefront, and Yanni's let me use their cafe and alley.
The guys in the one shot were total strangers that ran up in the middle of the shoot so I went with it.
Then I had a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Party made into "Dinner at Libby's"
Here is the invite:

Both on Tiffany's Trademark colored paper of course. My cake was a T&Co Box, with the Blue fondant and white ribbon, and surrounded by cupcakes with the same color icing. It was fabulous.
