Trascorrere un'estate a New York: quale migliore occasione per due ragazze che arrivano da una cittadina di provincia? Trovare un impiego nella gioielleria più famosa del mondo: quale emozione più grande? E il 1945, quando Marjorie Jacobson e la sua migliore amica, Marty Garrett, arrivano nella Grande Mela. Dopo avere ricevuto una serie di rifiuti, quasi per miracolo riescono a ottenere un lavoro da Tiffany come commesse, suscitando l'invidia di tutte le amiche. Come per magia, per loro si spalancano le porte di un mondo scintillante e alla moda: conoscono personaggi ricchi e famosi, incontrano Judy Garland e Marlene Dietrich, si trovano alle prese con famosi gangster e affascinanti playboy, frequentano i locali più in voga. E proprio a una festa esclusiva in cui è riuscita a intrufolarsi, Marjorie s'innamora: un giovane della Marina fa breccia nel suo cuore e la ragazza dovrà prendere una delle decisioni più importanti della sua vita... Tra tuffi nell'oceano, preziosi diamanti e avventure rocambolesche, 'I love Tiffany' svela il fascino inebriante della Manhattan degli anni Quaranta e racconta la nascita di un mito che dura immutato ancora oggi.

New York City, 1945. Marjorie Jacobson and her best friend, Marty Garrett, arrive fresh from the Kappa house at the University of Iowa hoping to find summer positions as shopgirls. Turned away from the top department stores, they miraculously find jobs as pages at Tiffany & Co., becoming the first women to ever work on the sales floor, a diamond-filled day job replete with Tiffany-blue shirtwaist dresses from Bonwit Teller's—and the envy of all their friends.

Looking back on that magical time in her life, Marjorie takes us back to when she and Marty rubbed elbows with the rich and famous, pinched pennies to eat at the Automat, experienced nightlife at La Martinique, and danced away their weekends with dashing midshipmen. Between being dazzled by Judy Garland's honeymoon visit to Tiffany, celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with CafÉ society, she fell in love, learned unforgettable lessons, made important decisions that would change her future, and created the remarkable memories she now shares with all of us.
