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.

Fashion Inspired by the Movies – Marie Antoinette

This week Amy has set us the challenge of putting outfit together inspired by Marie Antoinette (1996).

BEC

Marie Antoinette is not usually a sympathetic character from history and to be honest the “Let them eat cake” line used to be something I raged against because I am, and always have been left leaning politically. Plus I was at uni and stuff matters a lot more when you have to wake up every day by 1pm to go to classes, the beer is cheap and the books are free.

I loved this movie though, from the overly styled apparel that made the fashion world talk to the window into society directorial style of Sofia Coppola it was a delight to the senses. I empathized with Marie the teenager thrown into a situation beyond her scope to understand or to deal with effectively and genuinely felt for her, realising that no one has the perfect life even if they get to wear pretty dresses all day long.

So here is my take on fashion from a film that rather cleverly captivates and challenges us to think of history in a new way:

Now personally I’ve not seen Marie Antoinette but from my research I can tell you it’s a whole lot of lace, florals, pastels, volume, embellishments and gorgeous detail.

Here are two looks I’ve created which has been inspired by what I know.

This first set is definitely an evening creation with gorgeous floral dress, featuring a sweetheart neckline and a full skirt. A simple black heel, lace cuff and gold short chained necklace.

My second set is far more casual, perfect for a cool spring day 🙂

I hope you have enjoy our fashion inspired by the movies post today.

Happy hump day!

Morning All!

For today’s Fashion Inspired by the Movies I’ve decided on the Toy Story Series. I recently watched Toy Story 3 and fell in love all over again.

I adore family movies and Pixar has never let me down. So have a brilliant day and enjoy reminiscing the joys of your childhood or even adulthood 😉

I am so happy Cat chose ‘Toy Story’ today. It is such a vibrant and happy story that I adored as a child (who didn’t?). I don’t think i’ve cried so much in a movie when I saw the third and final instalment. Amazing. Anyway, I chose to re-create Woodys fun yet practical look for today. I used the main colours he wears (brown, yellow, red) and made sure I used plenty to get that ‘Wait, dont I know her from somewhere’. I highly recommend, for a fun affect, writing ‘ANDY’ on the bottom of your cowboy boots. People will get a smile!!! 😀

What kids movie makes you smile so much your cheeks hurt, even as an adult? Any cartoon characters inspire your look?

I picked Buzz Lightyear to focus on today because I am inspired by space every day but mostly because I think green and purple are a colour combo I would love to be more confident with so it was a challenge for me as well.

Here is a Buzz look for when you are hanging out with your toy box pals on the weekend:
