Vintage Inspiration - Moonrise Kingdom

I saw the lovely Moonrise Kingdom last week and was delighted to find it full of my favorite things - peter pan collars, vintage luggage and other old treasures, and animal masks.

In honor of Suzy Bishop, I put together a little vintage inspiration found on Etsy:

Sunnyside Up Dress | Toy Binoculars | Sunday Shoes | Yellow vintage luggage | portable vintage record player | Beetle earrings | Raven Mask | blue eyeshadow | Boy Scouts to the Rescue book | Vintage Red Plaid School Bag

Film Inspiration: Alice in Wonderland

I went to a midnight showing of Tim Burton's new Alice in Wonderland last night, and liked it so much I didn't even yawn once despite the late hour. As always, Burton's characters are characters, and the imagery is stunning.

I especially liked the vintage feel to Alice's blue dresses, and her wonderful blue coat with rickrack dress underneath in the final scene.




Recreate the feel of an Alice dress with some vintage finds - poofy blue dress, smart spats and some fingerless wrist/hand warmers:
