Alice of Wonderland

As we all know today Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" opens in theaters and I'm seeing this Alice theme everywhere. From creations on Etsy to burlesque pasties. Alice is quite the inspiration. Here is a quick featurette on the items that remind me most of the classic character.

Simple blue bow headband in the softest color. Inspired by Alice, created by BeSomethingNew

The cutest vintage apron ever, buttons up the back, ruffles on the sleeves, a more delicate, grown up piece from erminevintage

The perfect blue shirtwaist dress for today's Alice. Another amazing piece from Planetclairevintage

The perfect vintage soft and frilly crinoline, it looks so soft, you'll would want to wear it to wonderland. You can get it from EntirelyApropos

The perfect black mary janes, you could chase rabbits for days in these sweet suede shoes. From NodtoModvintage

Bettie's Extremely Long WISH list

I'm known for wanting things - I call it fashion-lust. I want it sooo bad for about 20 minutes and then i usually forget it ever existed. If I can't stop thinking about it, then I need to buy it. I will usually wait 24 hours to see if I really want an expensive piece...well most of these things have been on my wish list for weeks..and I still want them..but do not have the funds to go buying crazy, this time I think its fashion-love...this time...its for keeps ;) Click on the picture for the item link.

Kelly green - extra long linen skirt

Poodle print peignoir set

AMAZING leopard print night gown. I love the one I'm selling in the lightest lime green..but this one..wowie. I want!

Perfect every-day sailor dress. I probably would wear this every day! I love it!

GAWD If there was ever a case of Fashion-Proposal this would be the playsuit (you thought it was a dress didn't you?) I would marry. Leopard print halter in stretchy cotton...uh, does it get any better....no, the answer is no.

Sailor stripe 50s cotton shirt. Love the soft fading of colors..oh sigh..how i want these lovelies.

Not vintage, but I like it anyway...REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

OMGEEEEEEEEEEEE Sailor Cigarette pants...drool!

Rushed 50s bathing suit...I usually collect cole of california suits (size 16 if you run across any) but I'd make an exception for this one ;)

You all know I've been obsessed with vintage eye wear lately...these gorgeous gold frames melt my heart...but their price tag would empty my wallet...

Apples! Novelty print dress in MY SIZE...well all of it is my size...but it is hard to find novelty prints.

I'm not sure why, but I keep coming back to these polka dot gloves! They're so fun!

Pretty red petticoat! What girl doesn't need one of these?

This dress...oh man, its hard for me not to take out a loan...I'm so in love with this dress...the color, the style, the detail..its got it all..and I want it all...i want it all...i want it all..and I want it now.

Hand made wooden cherries brooch. I can't afford the bakelite cherries...but I can almost afford the wood ones.

Cherry angora pin up sweater...LOVE

They had this with a gold anchor and you know I'm a sucker for anything nautical..but the price tag is a bit too high for a headband..that doesn't mean I don't want it thought...hehehe.\

Novelty print...cherries...ok Fashion-gasm...excuse the language...but this dress is HOT! I want it for summer!...hell i'd wear it in the winter!..If someone loved me, they would buy it for me...LOL

Well kiddos there you have it...I want a variety of things and I can't afford a one of 'em. Hopefully someone I know will bring home one of these beauties so I can at least touch them..hahaha...ok its getting creepy now...I'm gunna go.

Urge for Oxfords

A fellow blogger Solanah posted up a link of a pair of cute (but overpriced) oxfords on her facebook fan page and I am always on the look out for a good deal so I started looking for some myself, something cheaper that she could buy instead. Well I got a little carried away (like I always do) and it ended up as this featurette. Here are some amazing oxford heels..and maybe some flats too, hehe.

Here is a gorgeous pair of 40's lace up oxfords with ribbon details. These ones are from a cute little shop BettiesVintageline they have a very unique feature an exposed carved wood sole. Very cool.
