I am a huge Pretty Woman fan, something about a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who goes to the big city, becomes a prostitute and marries well really resonated with me as a young woman (haha) and it sticks with me today.

I adored the romantic sub plot as much as the next girl but my favourite part of the film is the shopping, I especially love that part where she teaches some evil witches that you can never tell a book by its cover or a credit card limit by its carrier.

I like the over the top-ness of the dressing up scene, the excess depicted is a true sign of the times (90’s) and even though the looks seem quite dated now the aspirational aspect of fashion is as topical as ever.

So lets grab our brick sized car phones and cruise the boulevard for a few amazing looks…

Amazing red dresses never go out of style, this look is timeless.

Polo, anyone? by beccaannw82 featuring high heel shoes

 

A new take on an amazing polo outfit, lets hope this trip ends in fewer propositions and punches.

Ask me who I still wish I was sometimes and the answer is Cinde-fucking-rella.

What is your favourite Pretty Woman outfit or moment?

Three Ways: The High Low Skirt.

I’m really quite enjoying doing these posts, it really makes you think about your wardrobe and how you can carry one piece from look to look.

I know there are a lot of people out there who are completely over the whole mullet skirts and dresses, you know the whole business in the front party in the back but I wanted to show what can be achieved but changing accessories and other items to change the feel of the outfit completely.

Here I have created a nighttime look and a daytime look. As you can see by simply changing a a few pieces, well it’s nearly the whole outfit but I’m trying to demonstrate you can certainly use one item of clothing in different circumstances.

Makeup can also set the tone of your outfit, it’s always good to think about the complete look. Don’t just stop at what you are wearing on the lower parts of your body.

I think the best choices for these two outfits would be a gorgeous smokey eye for the evening look, very cliche I know, but it’s a safe and classic choice.

For the more casual daytime look I would personally have the makeup far more neutral and keep it fresh.

So I’m hoping I’ve given someone out there some what of an idea on how they can change it up a bit and work with what they already have.

I have an odd fascination for the high low look, I don’t have anything in my wardrobe that fits the classic definition but I do love asymmetry in general.

I like the idea of an unconventional pairing and mixing things up with texture and bursts of floral:

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:

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.
