I had been anticipating seeing Alice in Wonderland since I first heard about it in October.....


I am a big fan of Tim Burton....

And Johnny Depp as the mad hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as the red queen?? My kind of movie...























What I really enjoyed about the movie were the costumes. ....
wow...they were just great. What was especially delicious to me was the way Alice changed dresses anytime she grew taller or smaller.


And the dresses were great...


I did a little investigating into the movie and found the costume designer was Colleen Atwood.
She is an LA based designer and has designed for over 50 films....and she has done some really great stuff.....


Her creations for Burton are some of my favorites. She was the genius behind Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, and Sweeney Todd. Her work is just amazing..

Her attention to detail is evident, and her design and fabric choices are spot on.

This is costume design done right.....

The Fall collections are always my favorites.....there are so many ways to play with textures and layers....

I am the gal who is always searching for that perfect little jacket...

L'wren Scott presented a very cohesive collection that included some very smart, ladylike jackets....

These are the type of pieces that you will want to add to your wardrobe......and they will look fresh and new for years to come...
