mariakoropecky And how the movie, song and a special crystal tie in
By Maria Koropecky
Have you ever walked down the street and then stopped and took a few steps back because something caught your eye in the store’s window display? Maybe it was a pair of shoes, or a chaise lounge, or cascading flower arrangement.
Window shopping is fun because it allows us to imagine ourselves enjoying a different lifestyle from a safe distance, without commitment or investment. Window shopping also includes reading the menu of a restaurant at the door, looking at photos of properties at a realtor’s office or collecting travel ideas online.
And while these are all wonderful trips into the imagination, I feel jewellery stores take the cake in window displays – especially Tiffany & Co. – a luxury brand founded in 1837 offering engagement rings and watches nestled in their signature blue boxes.
You might not know this, but the Morganite crystal is also connected to Tiffany’s. It’s the “Stone of Divine Love” and mostly comes in soft pink. This high-vibe crystal can also be called the “Breakfast at Tiffany’s Stone” because it was named after J.P. Morgan, one of Tiffany & Co’s best clients in the Gilded Age and therefore is good to use to manifest both romance and wealth. Morganite resonates with the Heart Chakra and encourages emotional healing, self-worth, self-love and harmony.
And on top of all of that, they also have the movie, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (1961) a comedy-romance with Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard and the 1995 hit song, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Deep Blue Something which add cache to the already legendary store.
As you can guess, I’ve spent a lot of time window shopping in my life. I still remember admiring some swirly blue and yellow salt & pepper grinders from Italy I saw 25 years ago – they made me want to throw lavish dinner parties. On some level, I was also shopping for belonging, fun with friends and the pepper to my salt to name a few things off the top of my head.
But I’ve realized that at this stage of my life, especially when it comes to relationships, I want more than something safe or that looks good from the outside. I’m ready to embrace someone real.
The song, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is about a couple who are on the verge on calling it over, but he manages to find one little thing that they might possibly build on – that they both “kinda liked” a film they watched together. As much as I love the song, the relationship sounds a little “meh” to me. That’s not what I want.
Meanwhile “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” the movie, is about Holly Golightly, a charming woman who coasts through life on style, wit and glamour but fears emotional entanglement. Enter Paul Varjak, her neighbor — a struggling writer who sees through her sparkle to the vulnerability underneath. That sounds a little more promising somehow.
Either way, it’s not about looking the part, settling for bare minimums, or chasing status. It’s about knowing and feeling your worth — from the inside out — as you walk down the street.
