DAYLIGHT: Peachy Deegan has BREAKFAST AT SOTHEBY'S Kerry Taylor Auctions in Association with Sotheby's to Sell a Historic Collection of Audrey Hepburn Couture and Accessories

Peachy Deegan has been busy as ever and this morning was no exception: she had Breakfast at Sotheby's! It was a delight to meet Lauren and hear Kerry Taylor's wonderful presentation of what will be auctioned on Tuesday, December 8th in London! ALL MANHATTANITES: THIS IS SOMETHING TO SEE. It is in Manhattan only this weekend, so visit Sotheby's:

November 21st and November 22nd from 10 to 5pm. Of course, Sotheby's is at 72nd and York.

The total collection is 36 pieces plus accessories, and the highlights have been transported to Manhattan for our viewing this weekend. We are so lucky! It is our understanding this is the only viewing in America. Hepburn's rags to riches story is inspirational to all and these have survived through the good care of a friend of hers who received them from Audrey in Europe, prior to Audrey's move to America. As she lived through the war, Hepburn did not want to waste her beautiful clothes so she gave them to her friend! Also included are letters she wrote- we like how she mentioned her love for ice cream in them!

The venue for the auction is La Galleria, Royal Opera Arcade, Pall Mall, London.
The details of the exhibition we will mention after this weekend, because we want you to concentrate on visiting this fabulous exhibit at Sotheby's in New York this weekend!!! Items date from 1953 to the late 60's and includes dresses by Valentino, Elizabeth Arden and Hubert de Givenchy.

Hepburn was not just a film star: she was one of the style icons of the 20th Century and this is an exhibit not to miss!! Her trademarks are of course her simple elegance and it is amazing to see the actual pieces that she wore. When available, photos of her wearing the items are displayed. We look forward to speaking with Kerry Taylor more about this exciting topic!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
