The Hunt

I've become obsessed with finding the PERFECT Cheetah or Leopard print coat** this year (faux fur only, please). I'd like a classic chubbie style (yah, that's the technical term). Short + swingy. A big collar would be nice. Oh, and a vintage bargain is the dream.

Kate Spade's version has a great bow on the back:


Shopping at Buckle would make me feel like a teen-- but the price is right:


Etsy always has good options-- but the dream is a little shorter:



Have you found the perfect faux fur outerwear this year? Let us know!

*** bonus points if you can tell me the difference between these two animal prints.

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:
