Pretty Pretty Princess

Childhood memories are rushing back. I keep having visions of Disney princesses in big dresses. Its the Cherry Blossom Girl, the Clothes Horse, the new issue of Bazaar, and my Vogue Collections. It made me realize that there are a lot of looks from the fall shows and recent spring shows that really are fit for a princess. This post is looks that I can see a modern Cinderella in. Ok, maybe its just an excuse to look at gorgeous gowns...

In My Own Little Corner

The world of blogging is a wonderful thing. I have learned about so many things from my favorite fashion blogs. This past week I was looking at one my favorite's, Style Bubble, and came across one of my favorite posts that I have ever seen. She shared with us her love of artist Przemek Sobocki and his lovely artwork from Common Sense magazine, that introduced popular fairytale characters to the world of fashion. All the characters are posing with items from some designer's SS08 accessory lines.This is one of the coolest things that ive seen in awhile! This first one is The Little Mermaid of course, with Dolce and Gabanna. She was always my favorite as I have red hair and people would always tell me I looked like her when i was little (how someone can look like a cartoon mermaid, I don't know, but it made me feel special.) There are many fairytale characters, but there also a few historical figures, iconic movies (like The Wizard of Oz, Audrey Hepburn, etc.), and a few others in between. update: the headings are under the picture they belong to! even if they look like they belong to the picture they are above. Most of the characters are well-known so its pretty easy to figure out which belongs to which.
