twas brillig and the slithy toves...

In honor of Tim Burton's take on Alice in Wonderland opening today, I whipped up this polyvore set of yet another 'Alice' inspired look. I'm planning a bigger post on this when I get back into town this afternoon :)

off with her head!

Tom Binns has debuted his collection of jewelry inspired by the new Tim Burton film 'Alice in Wonderland.' I am in L O V E. I think the pieces are fun and totally spot on with the theme, and while they are quite fancy, I think you could easily wear a lot of them on a daily basis if you kept the rest of your look simple. 

i'm late! i'm late!

How fun would it have been to see this all go down!? Plus, the jewelry they're advertising is amaaazing!

step through the looking glass

Disney has finally released a teaser trailer for Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland.' While the imagery is beautiful, and theres no doubt I'll be able to draw a lot of inspiration from it, I'm not sure exactly how I feel about it...I'm intrigued, but I'm gonna have to see more before I can make an honest judgement* of it. What do you think?

I still have every intention of seeing it, I'm just not sure if I'm going to love Tim Burton's skewed viewpoint...only time will tell.

down the rabbit hole...

With all the buzz about Tim Burton's new live/cgi blend take on the classic children's tale "Alice in Wonderland," it felt fitting to do a post on Alice inspired fashion and accessories. I have always loved the colors in the Disney version of the film, and as long as I can remember, I've wanted an Alice-style dress with a white pinafore over it. Alice seems to be a popular theme running through designers, and instead of focusing entirely on how big names have interpreted and molded this story into their designs, I looked to Etsy for fun and interesting pieces. I was not disappointed. I found all kinds of jewelry that had really interesting uses of Alice as inspiration, including a tea party ring, which was my personal favorite, and some amazing charm bracelets that clearly merit the hefty price tag with the insane amounts of detail they have. I also recently started playing around on Polyvore and thought it would be fun to find some modern and funky pieces that I could see Alice wearing, if she wear a New York City socialite running around the city instead of Wonderland.

one pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small...

Over the holidays I fell down the rabbit hole, and rediscovered how much I love the Disney Movie "Alice in Wonderland." Her magical trip through the looking glass and all over the magical world of Wonderland still holds my attention and gets my creative juices flowing. I've thought up a complete collection in my head of fabulous party frocks based around the characters that are too crazy to be real, but at the same time, have an relatable human quality to them.

I discovered this collection of garments, right, from various locations on Polyvore.com. They highlighted the main colors of Alice's wardrobe, while throwing in some funky accessories based on the supporting characters.

This dress to the left is from Erin Fetherston's Spring 2007 collection. It gave me a feel of the "Alice" silhouette, and if made in the traditional blue she wears, it would be absolutely perfect for a new live movie--dream cast? Marcy Rylan, from "Guiding Light" would be the perfect 'Alice,' in both looks and talent, and Johnny Depp as the 'Caterpillar'--hands down, and Zoey Deschanel as the 'Queen of Hearts.' The rest of the cast? An eclectic mix of up and coming talent and a few movie legends.

On Style.com, I discovered a spread from Vogue Dec. '03 Issue featuring some fabulous designers creating their perfect "Alice" frocks. Here are my favorites.
