In the movie 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' the main characters Paul and Holly celebrate by doing things neither of them has done before. Paul has never had champagne before breakfast. Holly has never been on a walk in the morning and Paul has never been to Tiffany's. They try to shop for something for under $10 at Tiffany's and pass up the silver telephone dialer.
Whether this movie has anything to do with the fashion mishap I am going to write about or not, I am not sure. But it was a great movie.
Time and again, I have come across friends wearing these pieces of jewellery given to them by their loved ones. My black friend in Florida had silver ear rings and a necklace to match from Tiffany's given to her with love for Christmas from her sister. My sweet friend in California has one such bracelet from her fiance. As romantic and sweet these gestures may be, sadly enough, these pieces of jewellery just remind me of those prison bracelets that were once worn by prisoners with their identification number on them. Or those bracelets worn by porters in India.
Some demented designer imitated these designs. Engraved the words Tiffany and sold them to the poor souls.
Please people, I know you love your loved ones. But a lesson has to be taught and learnt somewhere, I suggest that you defy the norms and stand tall against these fashion violators!

I went to Doll House to by a Sherri Hill dress 1403 for the best price quoted $450 for my daughter. I was told that Doll House has a registry and that I would be the only one wearing this style dress at my formal. When I arrived at my formal, there were two 2 other girls wearing exactly the same style dress and they also got it from dollhouse I can’t begin to tell you how angry and sick that made me feels. I will not be taking my daughter there for her year 12 formal.
