Yay! I love this part. It’s Wednesday’s Movie Inspired Look post!

Today I’ve chosen Snow White and I’m talking the Disney one here, not the remakes of it.

Sadly our lovely Amy has been rather ill the last few days and won’t be joining us today, hope you get better soon Amy!

I’ve gone with the less known outfit for Snow White.

She is already rocking that Peter Pan Collar so I wouldn’t change that at all and to me the colours have a vintage feel. So I’ve added in the Mary Jane shoes :D!

With all the remakes of Snow White out at the moment we are in danger of being overwhelmed with images of how this princess should look like, in my mind the Disney original is by far the most iconic and will remain so, the look is completely unique amongst the Disney princesses. For my set instead of trying to recreate an outfit for a princess I tried to imagine who the real Snow White is and put something together that represents those qualities for me.

Snow White is:

Feminine
A Nature/ Animal Lover
A girl who likes people in all shapes and sizes
Not afraid of hard work
A team worker (lol maybe I have been writing too many cover letters)
A survivor

I wanted my outfit to show her softer side and to represent the little bit of whimsy that her character contains. She needed a look that echoed the classic colours and the colour blocking of her original gown without going too far.

This is what I came up with:

Snow White by beccaannw82 featuring skinny fit jeans

It’s perhaps not so much a gritty reboot as a modern re-imagining…. either way it has nothing to do with that chick from Twilight.

50 shades of gravy, Fashion, Haha not a fashion piece inspired by *that* book, jackie o, sunglasses

Happy Tuesday everybody.

Today is a rainy miserable day in Perth today so this post is largely an effort to cheer myself up by talking about an accessory I have recently become obsessed with – Sunglasses.

I know, not terribly exciting but very practical in summer and after getting a very nice pair on sale recently I have discovered a deep and abiding love for those slightly oversized round ones something like this (From ASOS):

I don’t know if I should admit this but a part of the reason I like wearing them is that I can put them on in the morning and have a little nap on the train without having to feel self-conscious about closing my eyes. All of the other reasons I like them has to do with how cool I can pretend to be while wearing them.

As Amy is to communication devices I am to sunglasses though, I know that every day I have with this pair is limited and that one day we will be parted. In fact I have been through so many pairs of sunglasses in my life that until I saw my current flame I never even used to bother looking for ones I liked because statistically I was better off taking my money and throwing it straight in the trash. The fragility and vulnerability of this love affair is why it burns so brightly I think….

So what are you wearing?
