deathly hallows

I am pretty stoked about the release of the new Harry Potter film, and while I was not able to see the film at midnight last night, I *am* going this weekend. In honor of it all, here's the fabulous Emma Watson showing off what a classy, stylish, young lady she's become. Happy Friday, everyone!

obsessssed with that lace dress. holy moly.

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. 

six, seven, eight, NINE

A new musical movie comes out Christmas Day, and I'm quite intrigued by it. 'NINE'* is a musical I know very little about, other than it was on Broadway, the revival starred Antonio Banderas, and now they have turned it into a star-studded film. According to BroadwayWorld.com, NINE " revolves around one central character, Guido Contini a film director in the Fellini mold. He is contracted to write and direct a film, but is unable to come up with a suitable plot. After recent box office failures, he finds himself drifting towards a nervous breakdown. Guido finds himself examining his past flawed relationships with the many women who have come through his life and the struggle to act his mature age of 40--as opposed to nine. " Starring Daniel-Day Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Sophia Loren, and Dame Judi Dench, this film sounds like it could have extreme potential. I am going to have to do my homework before I fork out $8.00 to see it though...

All images are from Broadway World, with many more here.

the trailer had embedding disabled, but check it out here.

*not to be confused with "9," the animated movie about the end of humanity... :)

somewhere over the rainbow...

In honor of the 70th Anniversary of one of my favorite movies of all time, "The Wizard of Oz," here are the four main characters re-imagined for a fabulous fashionista and her friends, both by myself and a spread for the NY Post, as well as some recreations of Dorothy's classic ruby red slippers. 

Mine are a more costume-y, literal approach to the characters, so I hope they're self-explanatory :)

     

     

I'm working on the witches in watercolor, too...I just haven't had time to paint them yet.

These are from the NY Post: 

I couldn't pull up the slideshow, but these happened to be available!

and some of my favorites...SHOES! 

and here's one of my favorite spreads of all time, from a previous post. So in love with this movie...

coco before chanel

InStyle.com had some images on their website from a new biopic about Coco Chanel! The movie, titled 'Coco Before Chanel,' is due in NY and LA September 25th, other cities to be announced. Starring Audrey Tatou, this film focuses on Coco Chanel's rise to fashion fame, and looks to be quite exquisitely costumed and styled! Hopefully it makes it to a theatre near me, or with some luck, I will have found a paying job in NYC and be living there by then, otherwise I'll be waiting on pins and needles to get this on DVD. These stills get me quite inspired, I hope they do the same for you!
