Oz Fashion: Wicked Witch

The last witch we will discuss is none other than the Wicked Witch herself! I won't tell you who plays her in case you haven't seen the movie already (it surprised me), but prepare for some good battling between this witch and the great and powerful wizard himself.

We all have to admit, the Wicked Witch got a stunning upgrade from the original Wizard of Oz. Her skin, although still green, does not resemble that of a color on a child's bedroom wall, oh no, it's much more dark and sinister now. The hat is shiny and sleek and her outfit... oh my goodness her outfit!

Who said Witches who were bad and green need to be dressed in a dark rag of a dress, anyway? They were sorely mistaken because this evil being's outfit is skin tight, figure showing and all around a stunning masterpiece when it comes to clothing. The corset bodice is gorgeous and what I truly love is the stand-in feathers on her shoulders. They look like leather strips made to be feathers!

So, which witch is your favorite?

Oz Fashion: Theodora

On Saturday, I went to the movie theatre and watched Oz The Great and Powerful (The producer is actually from my hometown!). When I got there, my mouth nearly hit the floor in awe when I saw how much they had revamped all of the witches wardrobes. With a new found pump of inspiration, I've decided to talk about the Witches' fashion in Oz.

Let's begin with Theodora, played by the ever-talented Mila Kunis, who is the innocent witch in Oz. The first outfit we witness her wearing is a beautiful velvet-leather combination, filled with rich colors and an over sized hat. Her  coat/hat is near the color Samba, one of Pantone's (color trend predictor) top new colors for fall 2013.

In each of her costumes, we see her wearing white, red and hits of black which, having studied colors and their meaning for fun, each hold a certain significance. White is symbolic for innocence and purity, the exact opposite of black, the opposing color she also favors throughout the movie. Black, of course, means darkness, evil, and usually is worn on a person full of rage and/or mourning. Of course, Theodora's father had been murdered so it seems fitting. Last is the color red. Red is constantly associated with energy, power, love and passion. It also represents fire, a power viewers see her posses early in the movie.

I have become obsessed with the use of these three colors together and the outfits they are put on. Theodora's costumes are a sneak peak of fall fashion (trends, colors, coats, ect...). What do you think of Theodora's outfits?

With a Friend

She can stand the Fa-La-Las now, but before turkey time, not so much. Christmas is coming and she's at her friend's house, letting him test out his photography skills and giving him guidance on it. Vertical, not horizontal unless sitting. Stand in front and let her face the light. White balance; fix it. Whole body in the picture to get the outfit. He'll learn... in due time.

ABOUT THE LOOK: First off, the pictures are a little bright and I apologize about that. It was a little dark and gloomy outside, so we had to take pictures inside and, with no photography lights, flash would have to do! Anyway, a current trend I have fallen in love with is bodysuits! I got this one from OohlaLuxe and I was most definitely satisfied with it. It formed to my body, unlike most suits I have tried on, and the mesh panels made it super sexy, although I toned it down for school. I always love a good ole "pop piece," in this case the pop of color from the scarf.

BLOOPERS: Ah, well, yes. This scarf is not the ideal stationary item to hide behind if need be. Just saying.

Running With Green Horses

It's Spring! Yet, oddly enough, it feels like summer. I mean, an 85 degree day makes me feel like popsicles and tanning (more like burning) at the pool, not dew drops on crisp pieces of grass and birds chirping outside my door. I like it though. Summer means more family time, mission trips, cute swim suits (and the pool!), not to mention shorts and super fun fashion!
I got this pony here on a mission trip a few years ago, my first mission trip ever actually. It chills on my bed all day and snuggles with me at night and it doesn't have a name! Give me a name for him in the comments! I'll announce the winner in another post, and guess what the winner wins? How about their name in big letters at the top of the post?! Sound good? I think it does. Get to thinking of names!

Meow Meow Hissss

In different prints, colors, and sizes, animal hats are one of the top trending fashions that have suddenly taken off this past winter season. Racoons, pandas and foxes scurry throught hallways and shops on children and young adults who enjoy these spectacular hats. The hats feature fluffy fur and ears, with some featuring paws that double for mittens, as well.
I was lucky enough to get one of these gorgeous hats for Christmas, mine in the print of a snow leopard. It was a tad chilly today so the perfect time to try it out!
