ALICE IN WONDERLAND

So now the movie Alice in Wonderland will be coming out next year, I'm sure many inspired fashions will follow..I've always loved Alice in Wonderland since I was a kid, but at the same time I was freaked out by it...the Caterpillar, Queen, Cheshire Cat..all freaky to me .... I never read the book before I watched the Disney version; but now I am teaching my own daughter to always read books before she watch's a movie..my belief is it can either ruin the book for you by not letting your imagination to flourish or you get excited that the movie was very much to the book.

We read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory years before Tim Burton's version came out, and he did a great job sticking to the book; so being that he's filming Author Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland I think he'll do the same. We are in the process of reading the book and I have to say the illustrations are great!

and i love these paintings i found from my fellow Etsy community:

love this cup and saucer necklace LoveYourBling.etsy.com

and finally of course Annie Leibovitz version of Alice in Wonderland is brilliant..these are my favorite pictures from the Vogue Editorial back in 2003..wow already 6 years ago!

I like how she incorporated The Designers and there creations, so great..she is such a creative visionary photographer.

I'm off to cut and sew some dress's now, Happy Sunday!
