Oh dear goodness. I've lusted for designer things before but not quite as much until I stumbled upon this beauty. No one can compare to Mcqueen's genius. Rest in peace.

Bye for now

All about Alice, Hell too.

So I went to see Alice in Wonderland today, I've been waiting for it ever since I heard that Tim Burton was re-making it in the summer. I had a bit higher expectations for it, but it was really good. But I noticed the AWESOMEST thing. In this version, the weird, twisted tree that has the bunny hole that Alice falls into is the same tree that was in my all-time favorite movie, Sleepy Hollow. Which was also by Tim Burton, made in 1999. I noticed this actually in the poster for the movie I saw on the internet before I went out to see it. But in Sleepy Hollow, this tree was the resting place for the headless horsemen, who would go out at night kill his victims by chopping their head off and taking their heads through the "portal" through the tree's roots that led to Hell.

They're not EXACTLY the same. But its the same tree. I hope that wasn't a contradiction.

So Wonderland is Hell to Tim Burton? .. Not really but in the movie they do call it "Underland"
Tim's movies are my favorite, by far. And Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors.
I suggest to whoever reads this (which is most likey no one) to see Sleepy Hollow. I love that movie so much and I'm always in the mood to watch it. It's not frightening, the worst thing is seeing people getting their heads cut off. But Tim Burton always makes it super unrealistic. Like in Sweeney Todd with the basically orange blood.
I also love how Sleepy Hollow and Alice in Wonderland make references to each other because the Queen of Hearts always says "off with their head!!"

So if you haven't seen either movie (how could you?!?!) Then what the hell are you doing. Go.
Bye for now

Ode to my favorite sisters

I feel it's 100% necessary to make one of my first posts dedicated to my favorite designer, RODARTE. Laura and Kate Mulleavy I believe can do no wrong. They put on amazing runway shows and their designs each season have that dark, gothic feeling that I admit I cling towards.
So here's an overview of some of my favorite pieces by them, from many of their seasons. Pictures via style.com

Oh I adore this season, fall/winter 2010. The florals and knits together were amazing :) and the above image makes me think of a ghost.

Spring/Summer 2010 It's the way that the pieces appear to be falling/torn apart is what makes them so unique.

Fall/Winter 2009. The image above reminds me of a robot, and the boots are so weird and strappy :]

spring/summer 2009 was really one of their best seasons, there's much more diversity and who wouldn't want to wear that gown?

love every aspect of this one. I inspire a lot of my outfits from it, like the cardigan and how the cobwebby tights are under the pants, but you can see them through the open shoes. I love that big stain in the middle of the shirt, gives it that "blood is soaking the shirt" vibe. (well that's what I've read about)

Christian Louboutin designed these, aren't those spikes spectacular?!

fall/winter 2008 My favorite season by them. I posted wayy too many of their photos but I really loved so many, it was hard to chose.

lampshade skirts, what not to love?

spring/summer 2008 very whimsical, this is when they started getting into knits I'm pretty sure, and my goodness are they amazing at them!

I think you get it now, they make some great stuff. But my ABSOLUTE favorite part that they do is not the knits or the tye dye or the cobweb stuff, but it's the draping with the dresses. Draping I've always thought was so beautiful and they always incorporate it somewhere, and that's why they're my favorite. I didn't post pictures from all their seasons, that post would be way too long.


^Picture of them I don't know how recent it is though.

This actually took me more than one day considering I'm using the family computer and I can't stay on for too long. Can't wait until Geek Squad finishes fixing my laptop!
