With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, why not go green and try out a Princess and the Frog inspired outfit? This outfit is a casual day out in the park or at a picnic style. Focused on the color scheme seen in Princess and the Frog, this outfit highlights natural outdoorsy colors such as greens, browns and tans. The important thing to draw from Princess Tiana is to choose an outfit that makes you feel free and comfortable. When going outdoors, you don't want an outfit that is fragile or too fancy.
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!

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.

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!
