Wonderland

I'm currently watching Alice in Wonderland (the Tim Burton one) and while it is certainly quirky - it is Tim Burton, after all- I am absolutely enthralled with the costumes. The mixture of Victorian dresses and fantasy creates for some truly fabulous dresses, that's for sure. And the Red Queen's very Elizabeth I - inspired frock is stunning.

bling it on

Oh god my titles are just getting cheesier and cheesier and I can't do anything about it. I'm sorry.

But seriously, if you are looking at buyin' some Bling with a capital B then I would totally suggest Juicy Couture. I'm in love with their Fall 2012 Jewelry Collection, and I usually don't geek out over jewelry (I mean yeah I love sparkly things and all that but frankly I find most jewelry overpriced, especially for plastic pieces and fake diamonds). And these pieces are overpriced, that's for sure, but they are soooo pretty that you can kind of overlook that Juicy is asking $148 for a cuff (albeit a gorgeous cuff).

The color pallet of purple, gold, black, and silver and art-deco geometric shapes are what's got me goin' crazy (a la Britney) so if that's your kind of thing then go for it! Me, I'm now a poor college student, so I'll just oogle at these shiny beauties over cyberspace.

 And if you want to get the look:

Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in this summer's The Dark Knight Rises

I think we knew this would happen the moment it was announced that Catwoman would be making an appearance in the last of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, but cats are making a bit of a splash in the fashion world. There's just something about felines- you can go from super cute to super sexy in a second with cat-inspired clothes, which is probably why people are eating them up. Here are my favorite cat-inspired picks:

wolf or rottweiler?

When I saw this Just Cavalli T-shirt I immediately thought of the infamous Givenchy Rottweiler T worn by literally everyone last year (Kanye, Rihanna, and every model off duty). People either loved or hated the shirt, and now it looks like Just Cavalli has its own canine shirt.

If you ask me, both shirts are a little over-priced (the Just Cavalli one retails at $195, and I'm sure the Givenchy one is even more) but if you are in to trendy tees, these are worthwhile investments.

So, are you a fan of the Cavalli Wolf or the Givenchy Rottweiler?
