Finally, here's an outfit inspired by another huge favorite of mine, Teen Witch! If you haven't seen this movie, shame on you, it's amazing (watch it.) Full of 80s fashion, songs and funny scenes; you won't be disappointed! The movie stars Robyn Lively, Blake Lively's older sister, as the main character Louise (she is SO gorgeous, I wish I looked like her.) Because all the looks are very 80s I toned the look down a bit so you will be able to wear it without looking like you time-warped. This is definitely one of my favorite looks in the film.

The hardest thing about this outfit was finding a skirt, I was so sure that Free People would have what I was looking for, but they let me down, ha ha! I'm sure there is a more perfect choice out there (with the tiers) but I settled for the one below. It was also hard to find the pendant and, because it is Louise's source of power, I wanted to find one that does the movie version justice. So, etsy to the rescue!

Skirt: Delia's; Top: Delia's; Vest: Free People; Belt: Temperley London;  Heels: Target; Socks: Soft-Fit; Bracelets: Marc by Marc Jacobs Cuff and Target Beaded Bracelet (get two & layer!); Rings: Kohl's, Kohl's and Kohl's; Necklace: Etsy

And here are some more looks from the film. I always wanted a dress like the blue one, I think I may have had one at one point, without the peplum though. I should look for a picture of me in it...

More can be seen in this video, pardon me while I sing along.

Today I'm featuring a look worn by Allison (Vinessa Shaw) in Hocus Pocus, another favorite of mine.  I was choosing between two looks, but the other one was a bit too similar to yesterday's. I could seriously watch this movie (and Casper) every single day and not get tired of them. Anyway… What you'll need is a purple top, tartan skirt, tights, laced booties, wide belt, long necklace and a red cape! *phew*

Top: Target, Skirt: Vivienne Westwood Anglomania, Cape: Alloy, Satchel - Cambridge Satchel Company, Tights: ASOS, Socks: Target, Booties: Chloe, Belt: Ralph Lauren, Necklace: House of Harlow 1960


Here is the other look I wanted to recreate, just wear jeans, a white longsleeve shirt and an oversized tan sweater!

Happy October!! This is my favorite month because it contains some of my favorite things: Halloween, Halloween movies, my birthday, pumpkin picking, apple picking and of course the beautiful weather! In honor of Halloween approaching, I thought I would post some outfits inspired by Halloween films!

First up is a look worn by Kat (Christina Ricci) in Casper.  I have always loved this outfit and it is made up of basic pieces, so it won't really go out of style, the pieces just may tighten up a bit or loosen back up based on what is "in".  Luckily for us, oversized pieces are back so we can recreate it more closely. Kat had a thing for henleys in this film and, if I recall correctly (which I know I do), she was always in one (except for the Halloween party.) All you need is a green henley, open crochet sweater/cardigan, jeans and a small heeled ankle boot. Oh, and a big ring for your thumb!

Top - Nordstrom, Sweater - Free People, Jeans - 7 For All Mankind, Boots - Miu Miu, Ring - Lois Hill

First of all, if you haven't seen The Ugly Dachshund, shame on you! Second, if so, check out this post where I talk a little about it. Moving on, Fran Garrison, played by Suzanne Pleshette, has wonderful style in this movie.Yesterday, when I was checking out Net-a-Porter's What's New section, this dress SCREAMED Fran, so I had to do an outfit recreation for us all to enjoy!

This is such a classic look that has spanned the tests of time and is still perfectly in style. A gorgeous LBD, black pumps and simple jewelry in the form of pearl earrings. This outfit is very expensive, but you can definitely find cheaper pieces, perhaps I'll do that later this week if I can't take outfit pictures...
Dress: RED Valentino $1150
Pumps: Jimmy Choo $495
Pearl Earrings: Kate Spade New York $45

Today I decided to feature a fashion-ish related movie!  Model Behavior was a Disney Channel Original Movie back in 2000. Sadly it's not available on DVD and I am DYING to own it since it is one of my favorite movies from when I was younger...hopefully Disney figures out that fans want this movie.

Alex Burroughs is a shy, insecure girl who, while helping her father with his catering business at a party, meets Janine Adams, the teen model of the time. Meanwhile, Janine is fed up with her mother Deirdre not being home when she has her first book signing, because her little brother Max is going on a publicity tour. Through a strange coincidence the two girls realize they look so much alike that they decide to swap places for a while

The movie stars Maggie Lawson as Alex and Janine and Justin Timberlake as Jason. Sadly Justin COULD NOT act when he was in this movie, happily he has improved with time. But it is so funny to watch how bad he is in this movie, makes me giggle.

Sadly I couldn't even find the trailer, but the movie is available on YouTube so you can watch Part 1 below (the rest of the movie is with the same user)

This week's movie is an oldie but a goodie! The Last Unicorn came out in 1982 and features the voices of Mia Farrow, Christopher Lee, Jeff Bridges, Angela Lansbury and the music of America.  The movie follows the story of a unicorn who finds out she is the last of her kind, so she sets off to King Haggard's kingdom to find the Red Bull who supposedly led all the other unicorns away.  This movie is so funny and also a bit scary at some times, at least when you are 10 years old and watching it. She encounters a magician, an old witch, a story-telling butterfly, talking cat, crazy skeleton and many more interesting characters.

This is definitely one of my favorite movies, even if it is a bit odd. But I think that is precisely the reason I like it so much.  So have you seen it?!  If not, do it!

[I scheduled this last night, but we still have power...for now]

Here we are with the second installment of Obscure Movies! Today I'm featuring a movie based on the classic story of King Arthur and Merlin! But in this case it is after Merlin is gone and Arthur is an old man. It's called A Kid in King Arthur’s Court, came out in 1995 and stars Thomas Ian Nicholas as well as more well known actors Daniel Craig and Kate Winslet!

Young Calvin Fuller is pulled into King Arthur's court by Merlin. His mission: to save Camelot. To do this he must overcome the villain known as Lord Belascoe, train to become a knight, and rescue the Princess Katherine whom he has fallen in love with him. Ultimately, He must help Arthur regain his confidence before he can go home.

This movie is quite amusing and those of you who are around my age will find some pretty funny things in it...such as the CD Walkman, roller blades and so many other things that were popular when we were younger!



So run to see the movie and if you don't watch it, run and don't stop until thou reachest KUKAMUNGA!!! (haha...when you see the movie you'll understand)

A while ago I mentioned on my Facebook that I was thinking of featuring some of my favorite movies that are a bit less well known (as well as some of my favorites that are popular).  I might do it every Sunday, or every once in a while...we'll see how long I last.

The first movie I'm featuring is The Ugly Dachshund.  It is a live-action Disney film that came out in 1966, it stars Dean Jones, Suzanne Pleshette and, of course, Brutus the dog!  The synopsis is as follows:

Dean Jones and Suzanne Pleshette star in this Walt Disney family comedy as Mark and Fran Garrison, a dog-loving couple with different tastes in canines. When their dachshund gives birth to puppies, kindly veterinarian Dr. Pruitt (Charlie Ruggles) convinces Mark to take a Great Dane puppy home with him. The Great Dane, named Brutus, grows up with the tiny pups convinced that he's also a dachshund. Brutus's confused identity sets the stage for a number of mildly comic bits -- he chases policemen up trees, destroys Mark's studio, and ruins a garden party. Fran finally tells Mark that Brutus has to go, but changes her tune when Brutus saves Fran's favorite dachshund puppy, Chloe, from a scrap heap. When Fran announces that she is entering Chloe in a dog show, Mark secretly enters Brutus in the same contest in an effort to convince Brutus to think like a Great Dane.

This movie is SO hilarious and is a great family film as well.  So have you seen it?!  And if you do watch it after reading this post, let me know what you think! :D

Watch the trailer below:
