Ooh La Frou Frou Girl Tiffany ... Close Up!

Hello, Darlings!
It's Sandy, the artist and creator of
the Ooh La Frou Frou Collection.
This week on Ooh La Frou Frou,
it's week two in our fun series of eight posts
recapping the details of the eight stars of the
card line and blog ...
can you decide which girl is most like you?

We began last week with fab recap number one
featuring Ooh La Frou Frou girl HOPE.
If you missed it, be sure to check it out here!
In each of the eight posts, you will get to see
something new ... where each girl lives!
Last week, we first saw Hope's "City Girl" apartment.

Today's post is the second in our recap series,
featuring our logo girl Tiffany ...

To describe Tiffany, I'd say ....
she's a modern-day Audrey Hepburn.

Like Holly Golightly,
Tiffany has a very dreamy favorite hangout ...
Fifth Avenue's Tiffany and Company, of course!
Like Audrey, she has a very classic style.
I'd call her signature style "modern classic."
She takes a little of Audrey's style and adds a modern twist.
She loves to wear classic pieces ...
adores Chanel, Givenchy and Dior.
  And her favorite color is ...
tiffany blue, of course!



So far, you've seen Tiffany in two cards ...
"Glamour Girls" (right, below),
a card for a bride to give to her glamorous bridesmaids
and, most recently, our Easter card,
"Easter Whimsy" (below left) ..
but, ooh, do we have a surprise for you ...
coming up in this post!


A quick look at the posts Tiffany has been in thus far ...

At the beginning of the holiday season,
she brought you to the city "virtually,"
taking you front and center at Macy's Thanksgiving parade
and inviting you to walk with her to see the 2010 holiday windows
and share her love of the Rockefeller Center tree ...


in another post, she described her romance with
Tiffany and Company ...



and shared with you her dressing room chair in tiffany blue
with "diamond" upholstery tacks ...


and in her most recent post, we watched as she
spent the day walking all over the city ...

and later arriving back at her apartment, kicking off her shoes
and spending the evening IN for a little spa-relaxation,
imagining the sound of the sea as she soaked ...



One of our Glamorous Girlfriends from a
lovely French blog called "Soapy Mermaid" tagged us to list
ten things we enjoy ... thank you "Soapy Mermaid" ...
and since this post is featuring Tiffany,
we'll list ten things that are on Tiffany's current "wish list" ...
from Tiffany and Company ... of course!

1. She'd love the sweet Fifth Avenue Box to hold her nightstand trinkets...
2. She's in bangle-love ... these are so beautiful ...
3. Tiffany charms are simply the cutest
and they make Tiffany happy just to look at them ...


4. Who wouldn't love a pink leather journal called "Kisses?"
or a diary with a heart lock for those secret notes? ...


5. She'd love a little Tiffany and Co. on her finger everyday ...
6. And the Tiffany keys look fabulous on a silk scarf ...
7. She can never have enough pearls around her neck,
and the gorgeous Tiffany Pearls scarf is a new way to wear them ...
8. She's in love with the Savoy clutch ...
I mean, just look at the clasp ...
and it's tiffany blue inside!


9. The Tiffany Elsa Peretti Pink Cultured Pearl Bracelet
is a pretty way to combine pink and pearls ...
and
10. Is there a girl alive that wouldn't love a gorgeous ring
especially if it's called "Sugar Stacks?"
So sweet!

Thank you, lovely Soapy Mermaid,
for giving Tiffany the opportunity to share
some of the things she enjoys!

Now ...
are you wondering where Tiffany lives? 
When it came time for me to design Tiff's apartment,
what could be more perfect for Tiffany
than walking up to an apartment in a townhouse
that looks like Holly Golightly's in Breakfast at Tiffany's?
You remember ... the lovely white one with the green arched door
and classic striped awnings ...


Here, George Peppard is just approaching and looking up at
the oh-so-famous abode ...


and here it is again, directly behind her ...

The townhouse exterior filmed in the movie
is still in New York ...
it's awnings disappeared a couple of years ago,
but it's still recognizable.
It stands at 169 East 71st Street,
on the East Side, New York.



I didn't want to give Tiffany
Holly Golightly's actual apartment ...
but she lives in one that looks suspiciously like its twin ...
but even better ... in Ooh La Frou Frou's fantasy world,
where all of our dreams come true,
the awnings don't have to come down.
And even better yet ...
they're a pretty tiffany blue!
Here's a quick rough sketch I made of
Tiffany's apartment ... don't you want to come visit?


And I think I've found just the perfect chair by Modani for her entry ...
don't you agree?


I'm going to finish our lovely dream of a Tiffany post
with something very special for you.
First, to get us ready,
let's glimpse the opening scene from
Breakfast at Tiffany's, where Holly
stands gazing into the window of Tiffany and Company.



Ooh La Frou Frou girl Tiffany
loves to gaze in the windows, as well.
Last week, I mentioned that in just a few weeks
Ooh La Frou Frou's first boxed blank notecards will be available.
Our first boxed notecards will be called "City Girls" and will include
 12 notecards ~ 4 different designs and
will be introduced and available soon!
Each week leading up to their introduction and availability,
I will be giving you a little sneak peak
of the glamour that is "City Girls" ...

It's my pleasure to introduce
the first of the four notecards included in
"City Girls" ...
made especially for all of you
Audreys at heart that love
the sparkle of jewels!
This is no ordinary notecard.
Like a painting in miniature, it comes complete
with crystals on the chandeliers and jewelry ...




All four notecard designs will come with a different
custom-lined envelope design ...
these are the illustrations I've created for
the Tiffany notecard envelope liner ...

Thanks, everyone, for joining me for the Tiffany Recap ...
Be sure to join us next week for Recap Week Three ...
which girl will it be?
Oh ...  and yes ... there will be the sneak preview of the second
"City Girl" notecard design!

Have a wonderful week
from Ooh La Frou Frou!
