*A

the *Audrey Hepburn* auction ...

.

Welcome to Vintage Heaven...

A vast collection of couture

and iconic pieces

from Audrey Hepburn were sold yesterday.

The collection included a little bit of everything from

haute-couture evening dresses, divine little cocktail ensembles, sensible tweed coats,

chic & glamorous dressing gowns, accompanied by wonderful accessories

-dating from 1953 to the late 60's.

Many of the 36 pieces in yesterday's auction were in Audrey's signature colors.

She preferred to wear pastel colors,

black, and ivory with the occasional hot-pink statement.

The collection also included a bundle of letters from Audrey,

where she wrote about everything from

an early film break, her proposed wedding to James Hanson,

& her time she spent filming 'Roman Holiday'.

Amongst the rare & unique pieces up for bids

were a number of chic little black dresses by Valentino,

haute-couture evening dresses by Elizabeth Arden

& of course couture pieces by her all-time favorite designer: Hubert de Givenchy.

The sale even included the infamous ivory satin bridal gown, which was created for Audrey by the Fontana Sisters, for the proposed marriage to James (later Lord) Hanson.

When she called the engagement off some weeks later,

Audrey asked the designers to "find a poor, beautiful girl" to give the wedding dress to.

Audrey was known for her rather tiny size, so

only the slimmest bidders will actually be able to squeeze themselves

into these iconic pieces of couture!

The Breakfast at Tiffany's star was 5ft. & 7 in's tall,

bust 32in, waist 22 in, & hips 34 in

rumored bidder Victoria Beckham would have no trouble at all squeezing into those!

The pieces were sold by Kerry Taylor auctions

at La Galleria, Royal Opera Arcade in Pall Mall, central London.

And half of all the money raised went to the

Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund & Unicef

for their joint venture

'All Children in School'

-which aims to provide teaching for 115 million children worldwide.

My Huckleberry Friend...

It's been 2 weeks and 2 days today, since I lost my best friend.

And it just doesn't seem right, to me, to return to the "blog world" without first having a little something special for him.

Have you ever met someone who you had everything in common with, I mean so much that it was kind of scary? Well that's how it was for us. In fact, in high school we both agreed to be each other's "back ups"- if you watched "F*R*I*E*N*D*S" then you know what I'm talking about- if not... a back up is when two people agree at a certain age if neither are married, then they will marry each other.

We shared everything in common from little things as our favorite drink- cherry coke, to views on politics, to our love for both Audrey Hepburn and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" ... which we always would watch coming back from nights out or even on nights in, that movie would always find it's way into the DVD player!

for my Zachary Thomas ...

*moon river, wider than a mile

i'm crossing you in style some day

Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker

wherever your going, i'm going your way

two drifters, off to see the world

there's such a lot of world to see

we're after the same rainbow's end,

waitin' round the bend

my huckleberry friend, moon river, and me*
