Current Style Obsession- The Mad Hatter

I was slightly disappointed by the new Tim Burton film Alice in Wonderland.
Looking back I hyped it up so much in my head that the stakes for the film were unbearably high and could never really be met.

It had my favourite director, Tim Burton. It had my favourite actor, Johnny Depp. It had the amazing Danny Elfman creating the soundtrack. It is based on one of the best and the most imaginative children's books ever written. It had Matt Lucas, Stephen Fry and ALAN RICKMAN- Severus Snape is irresistible. And of course the magnificent Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway playing the two Queens.
So yeah basically an amazing cast. But it was also in 3D and a collaboration with Disney!

The possibilities for the films greatness were endless!

But it just didn't quite deliver, for me.

Sure on one hand it was a snapshot into Tim Burton's undeniably brilliant mind and a directorial wonder with some great performances. On the other the plot was lacking and not as engaging as it should have been seeing that Burton declared "he never felt a connection emotionally" with the book.

Good job then that the costumes were fantastic, they kept me distracted from the not-quite-right plot of Alice revisiting Wonderland.
Colleen Atwood is a genius. I found out through a quick IMDB search that she also did the costumes for Chicago and Nine (remember me raving about the costumes here?) and has won 2 Oscars, so there is no denying she is one talented lady!

I LOVED:
-Alice's little (or big depending on how much of the "drink me" potion she had taken) blue dresses
-The breathtaking corseted gowns in the wedding scene in the beginning, which looked as if they had just stepped out of a period drama

-The heart motif which was on every Queen of Hearts piece (Helena BC was of course, amazing in the role)

But above all else there was the Mad Hatter with his amazing liquorice allsorts bow tie, pocket watch, crazy hat and old beaten up patchwork suit. He look incredible.

Just don't mention that ridiculous Jaberwocky dance...

I try to be like Grace Kelly, but all her looks were too sad

Every time I open a magazine at the moment her beautiful face is staring back at me from one page or another. Enthralled, I look at the caption explaining that there is soon to be a new exhibit showing her enitre wardrobe at the V&A in London.

Hopefully I will be able to visit in the summer holidays (the exhibit is showing from the 17th of April to the 26th of September) and see her beautiful collection of Balanciaga gowns and YSL and Dior couture. But till then I will have to satifsy my current Grace Kelly obsession by looking at stunning photos of her (the above is a photograph from her in the 1956 film 'High Society')

There is no doubt she was an icon, famous for her calm and collected persona and pristine appearance. That she was well dressed goes without saying; she was never a hair out of place.

Alice in Wonderland

Vor kurzem war ich im Kino und habe Alice im Wunderland gesehen. War ganz gut, aber das mit den 3D-Effekten haut mich echt nicht um. Das merkt man kaum - finde ich.

Mein heutiges Outfit ist eher schlicht (immernoch zu viel schwarz!). Im Hintergrund sieht man passend zum Outfit mein kleines schwarzes... Auto :)

ENG: Not long ago I watched Alice in Wonderland. It was nice, but the 3D-Effects really didn't sweep me of my feet. I think the difference is not very noticable.

My today's outfit is rather plain (still too much black!). In the background you can see my little black... car ;D

The more sunshine the more black I wear

Mein Outfit von letzter Woche. Ein Tag nach der H&M-Ausbeute trug Ich meine neue Weste und Jacke. Es war wundervolles Wetter. Eigentlich sollte man zu Kleidchden und Röcken greifen und sich an hellen Farben orientieren. Doch bei mir ist wohl irgendwas schief gegangen. Ich greife in letzter Zeit zu immer mehr schwarz, umso wärmer es wird.  Gar nicht absichtlich, aber jetzt ist mir das mal aufgefallen und ich werde versuchen in den nächsten Tagen das Wetter zu nutzen um meine Frühlings- und Sommersachen, vor allem die vielen neuen geblümten Teile, zu tragen.

ENG: My Outfit from last week. One day after my H&M-gains I wore my new vest and Jacket. The weather was wonderful. You are supposed to wear skirt and dresses and orient oneselfs by light colors. Yet there must be something wrong with me. In the last time it's like: the more I reach for black clothes, the warmer it gets.  It's not happening deliberately, but now it got my attention and I will try to make use of the weather and wear my spring- and summer-clothes, first of all my new flower-printed stuff.

What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream?

A photo heavy post of all the things that are inspiring me at the moment.
I saw this idea on Johanna's amazing blog crookedzone and after reading it realised all the things I currently love are the complete opposite of hers.
She is inspired by Johnny Rotten, punk, heroin chic and giant Vivienne Westwood-like red coats at the moment whereas I am obsessed with fairy tales, bows, pastel colours, ballerinas and gowns.
This is what I love most about blogging; being inspired by others and realising what inspires you too.

Danny Roberts illustration from The Dream Walking Society, Degas Ballerina painting, Christopher Kane SS2010 collection, The Almond Blossom Fairy illustration, Fifi Lapin, The Cherry Blossom Girl, Karlie Kloss in US Vogue, Chanel nail varnish from We Heart It, John Rocha collection, Chanel perfume photo from We Heart It, Chanel Iman editorial (anyone know where from? Pop?) Lovely photo from We Heart ItLara Stone, in W magazine I think, Another beauty from We Heart It, Sandra Suy illustration, Kate Moss drawing from Danny Roberts, The Chanel tutu designed by Karl, Alexa Chung (from Harpers Bazaar?) Shoes and cakes, my favourite things, from Vogue, And last two images from We Heart it (what would I do without this site, eh?)

Keep dreaming,

I wish I was a Punk-rocker

Karierte Hemden - vor allem in rot-schwarz - sind für mich das ultimative Rocker-oberteil, vor allem wenn man sie mit Nieten und viel schwarz kombiniert. Obwohl heute endlich mal wieder die Sonne schien (Fotos von letzter Woche), war mir nach Punk-Rock. Vielleicht habe ich einfach zu viele Wiederholungen von der 2. Gossip Girl Staffel gesehen und mich von Jenny Humphreys Style (hier und hier) inspirieren lassen.

Meine Ring-Uhr habe ich mir vor kurzem in Mannheim gekauft. Finde die total niedlich, obwohl ich es besser gefunden hätt wenn da I ♥ London / Fashion oder sowas in der Richtung stehen würde.

ENG: Plaid shirts - above all the red and black checked - are the ultimate Rock-piece, especially if they are combined with studs and lots of black. Although the sun was shining finally today (this pics were taken last week), I felt like punk-rock. Maybe I have just watched too many reruns of the 2. Gossip Girl season and let myself inspire by Jenny Humphreys Style (example here and here).

I bought my ring-watch in Mannheim not long ago. I think it's really cute, tough I would prefer another text, like I ♥ London / Fashion or something like that.
