Curiouser and Curiouser....

Oh Alice, how you have enchanted me. When I was a little girl I had a frilly lace apron that served as the perfect Alice costume accessory. I would put it on over my best dress and spend my days frolicking in the woods and tip toeing across the brook. This was all inspired by the made for TV movie that debuted in the 80's that featured an all star cast including Sammy Davis Jr., Ringo Starr, and many others.

I'm hoping Tim Burton's Wonderland vision will live up to my expectations, cause they are pretty high! I am in the midst of 2 Alice inspired creations (pics coming soon) in the mean time, enjoy what whimsy etsy-land has to offer...

Falling Down the Rabbit Hole

A wonderland of fabulous fantasy, a seductive imaginative place, somewhere to loose yourself...these concepts are the everlasting appeal of Alice in Wonderland. The blue and white dress of a curious little girl has become an iconic symbol of whimsy. I have always been a die hard Alice fan. It was one of my favorite things to pretend.

I love the way that Gwen Stefani dressed it up and made it oh so grown up during her "Love.Angel.Music.Baby" album. I am a sucker for thematic conceptual fashion and music. When Vogue Magazine did their spread with the world's top fashion designers I just about passed out! I love that...especially the Viktor and Rolf shirt dress....oh, so good. So, just yesterday I find out that Tim Burton is doing an Alice in Wonderland remake. I am so excited I can barely contain myself. I hope it can live up to all of my expectations. From the promo pics, it looks tantalizing...
