I like myself the way I am!

In addition to being one of the cutest movies I've ever seen in my life, Penelope never fails to send my mind into a swirly vortex of colorful, whimsical outfits. The set design is pure eye candy, the story line is sweet enough to melt hearts without being over-the-top cheese, and James McAvoy is the hero. What more could a girl ask for in a movie?

I really enjoyed making these Polyvores. Granted I wouldn't wear these with a pig snout unless it was for Halloween, but I'm pretty sure that more than half of the human population would be completely clueless as to who I was dressed as. Oh well, cuteness does not make much money in the movie business it seems.

Oh gosh, just looking at this makes my heart swell. Inspired by a five second scene in which Penelope daydreams herself walking around Paris. I will more than likely be making more from this movie since practically every outfit of hers made me want to run to Anthropologie and find anything remotely similar. So cute!

Stumbled upon this website while making a Polyvore for Sailor Moon:

Invasion of the Clowns!

My clown-inspired fashion love started courtesy of the adorable gauze harlequin mini dress (by Miu Miu) which graced the cover of Nylon with Leighton Meester a few months back. Ever since then, my heart skips a couple beats whenever the sight of harlequin prints grace my eyes.

And last but not least, in the spirit of Halloween, a Rocky Horror Picture Show inspired Polyvore featuring my favorite tap dancer aside from Gene Kelly, Columbia! Surprisingly, the harlequin prints go very well with her.

Amuck, amuck, amuck!

Come little children, I'll take thee away by Butterfly Interlude

I've gone and polyvore-d my costume from last year because it was so fun, flouncy, and flirty that I thought everyone should be able to enjoy it for themselves. My cape was handmade, though, to point up at the top like so. Based entirely off of the witch, Sarah Sanderson (played by Sarah Jessica Parker), from one of the best Halloween movies of all time, Hocus Pocus, mainly because if I were a mentally handicapped witch I would probably act most like her out of the three sisters. Sarah, the most whimsy and carefree of the three Sandersons, often dances around, lures children, and loves boys and spiders. She also has a gorgeous color palette for a wardrobe, thus one of the primary reasons I was drawn to it. Seriously, I would wear it every single day if society allowed. Fortunately for me, there are other alternatives for having a witch-inspired wardrobe.

Plus, there is always this option.

Everything's Just Wonderful

Upon being informed of the music celebrity themed Halloween party I'm apparently attending this year, I have decided to maybe go as Lily Allen. Pre-pink hair Lily Allen, though. Definitely.

I am really in love with that Topshop dress. I can't stop looking at it. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get my bangs to poof up like Lil' Lily's and I'll be set! Watch out karaoke machine, for I will belt out LDN and Everything's Just Wonderful with all the energy my little lungs can muster!

As Halloween approaches and I grow more and more indecisive, I will most likely be posting more Polyvores. Some others I'm working on are Alice Cullen, Lolita, Penny Lane, and Nancy Drew. Oh yeah, I have way too much fun making these!

I burn, I pine, I perish!

It's Halloween time again and, as usual, I start seeing ideas for costuming everywhere. Now, I dearly enjoyed the Sonia Rykiel collection. One dress in particular made the Halloween-loving fangirl in me scream out with Katrina Van Tassel-inspired looks.

(Sonia Rykiel dress, white tights, Viktor & Rolfe corset shoes, red topshop shawl/scarf, MAC lipstick, necklace from ebay, Katrina Van Tassel scented oil from BPAL.)

A few of my favorite pieces from Rykiel:

Gorgeous.

Eley Kishimoto's cute-as-can-be Spring '09 collection totally makes me think of quirky, whimsy Cassie from Skins. I wish the first season could have lasted forever.

I want everything! Look at those tights! And those adorable dresses! And the shoes! Ughh!
