Accessory Focus: Headbands

                

There is no doubt that headbands are a classic and iconic accessory, but after a nice break, they are finally making a comeback!

You can leave your hair down and tease the back part of your hair to create a bohemian look, similar to the one Jasmine has.
 
Lauren Conrad            Leighton Meester
...Or you can use a bow to create a cute and fun look. Keep your hair down for a more girly touch, or put it up to make a big fashion statement. Whether a darker color similar to Alice's or a bold red color such as Snow White.
 
Hilary Duff                  Michelle Williams 
....Or go big or go home with the thick headband paired with an updo or short hair style to create a elegant evening look similar to Cinderella's!

How to make Spirited Away's soot ball earrings

1. Using black clay, roll the ball into a small ball around 2 cm in diameter.
2. Using a dotting tool, paint two white dots using white paint to start the eyes.
3. Using a toothpick, make two black dots on the white to finish off the eyes.
4. Earring hooks or studs can be purchased at most crafts stores. Using these, pierce the hook through the soot ball, or if making studs, use hot glue to attach to the earring.

Inspired by Chihiro in Hayao Miyazaki's film Spirited Away, this outfit follows the colors worn by Chihiro as she works in the bathhouse. This outfit can be worn on any spring day out, or perhaps an outdoor wedding. Capture Chihiro's innocence with light colors, with a modest white cardigan. The cherry blossom print wallet and earrings capture the Japanese culture of Spirited Away.

Everyone wants a fairy tale wedding, and finally they can get that with a Alfred Angelo's Disney princess inspired wedding gown collection! Featured on Disney's own bridal website www.disneybridal.com, the collection contains couture wedding gowns designed with a specific Disney princess in mind. I mean who wouldn't want to walk down the isle looking like Cinderella?
A company started by Alfred Angelo, Alfred Angelo Bridal is known for their beautiful couture wedding gowns sold all over the world. In partnership with Disney, on September 29, 2010, Alfred Angelo released the Disney movie inspired line of wedding gowns.

Belle inspired

This gown inspired by the iconic yellow Beauty and the Beast dress captures the same sleeves and skirt as the one in the movie. The flow of the full skirt reminds us of the dancing scene in the movie, while the draping mirrors that in the actual dress.


Snow White Inspired

Covered by apple blossoms, this Snow White dress highlights the apple aspect of the fairy tale. The dress is elegant with its flowy skirt and intricate detailing of the flowers. The dress really captures the innocence of Snow White in this dress, perfect for a cute spring wedding.

Other princess inspired dresses include: Ariel, Jasmine, Cinderella, Tiana, Sleeping Beauty, and Rapunzel. He has two collections of Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Cinderella, Tiana, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White.

Mirror Mirror vs. Snow White and the Huntsman

With two versions of Snow White releasing in theaters in the same summer, it is time we compare the choices of makeup and outfits in the two films.

Here is a quick video describing the differences in the films.

Mirror Mirror directed by Tarsem Singh sets a more comedic tone, with vibrant costumes and bright make-up. Snow White, played by Lily Collins flaunts a bright blue Victorian inspired dress and bright red lips in the movie poster. Her short-banged dark hairstyle captures the elegance of Audrey Hepburn, as her dark eyebrows highlight her thin face. Her rose colored blush brings us all back to the Snow White we all know and love, made famous by Disney. But most importantly, her look features the iconic bright red lipstick, practically popping out of the movie poster.
 

Singh's Snow White differs drastically from Rupert Sander's Snow White and the Huntsman, which has Twilight grunge star Kristen Stewart playing Snow White. Similar to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland released last year, Snow White plays the role of a strong female heroine, which probably explains why Sanders swapped Snow White's iconic bright blue and yellow poofy shouldered dress for a short dark brown lace-up dress, black leggings and black boots-although there is a slight poof in the shoulders-- and don't forget the shiny silver armor! Sanders ditches the iconic red lip, rosey cheeks and goes for neutral tones, with a nude lip and minimal make-up. We can only wait to see if this bold choice helps or hurts the connection audience image of Snow White.


Although based on the same classic fairy tale, these movies are clearly very different, with very different fashion choices. Singh chose to highlight vibrant colors and elaborate avante-garde Victorian dresses, while Sanders chose to play with the dark theme and make use of his suede browns and golds. We can only wait and see which audience seem to like more!
