Cheshire cats, teacups and hookah smoking caterpillars? Oh my! Yes, I am making reference to one of the most creative, enticing, and whimsical fairy tale films of all time (drum roll, please)- Alice in Wonderland. While Alice herself may have been neither the picturesque, nor stereotypical Disney princess, she was a seemingly simple girl with an extraordinarily active imagination that more than made up for her lack of possessing the regal title of "princess". At this point, I’m sure many of you are wondering (1): Is this is a film review, and/or (2): How on earth does a children’s fairy tale relate to the fashion industry or personal style?

So, who’s wardrobe is a young, curious, and artistically-inclined little girl supposed to raid without an older sister to victimize? Well, as you smart snickerdoodle cookies may have guessed (or read from the title), it was none other than my mother dearest (cue the innocent smile and batting of the lashes). <<click below for full version>>
Read moreMy Philosophy On Style (Part 1)
I would suppose that it only seems logical that my first post on the blog be in some form of an informal introduction. Yes? No? Either way, I’m sticking to my shiny toy guns and going with it. I think that it is clear to those of you who are reading this that I have an especially high regard for style and fashion- and if it wasn’t clear before, it should be now. With that being said, my passion for these drastically different, yet complementary, concepts is built on the fundamental philosophies that regard the very essence of their raw core and purest form of meaning.
