Sleepy Hollow & the dress of dreams ♡

The other day I finaaally watched Sleepy Hollow for the first ever time, I am a huge fan of Tim Burton, but also super easily scared so I guess I always tended to go for the lesser creepy option! 


However when I was looking through some old vogues a few weeks back, I came across an article with pictures Tim Walker had taken on the set of the film - they were utterly spellbinding, and the level of props and beautiful costumes looked right up my street, they talked about glitterifying mushrooms and setting up pretty woodland, and then on top of all this was literally the dress of dreams that Christina Ricci was wearing - like a lost victorian princess meets Marie Antoinette <3 So unbelievably gorgeous! 


So it's no surprise when I finally watched the film - I loved it! (despite the scary gory bits!!), & decided that as part of a new series of teeny film posters I'm thinking of putting in my etsy shop soon - this had to be done!

Here's one of the beautiful behind the scenes shots from Vogue..

 

& another of her in that magic dress!

Hope everyones having super lovely weeks! If anyone could suggest any other dark fairytaley films to watch that would be amazing (:

Lots of love x x x 

Sugar Coated Lolita Inspiration ♡

I go to Tokyo in 100 days time with Craig! Words cannot describe how insanely exciting this is for us - it's been both of our dreams since we can ever remember - Japanese culture, and the many vibrant beautiful trends and subcultures has always fascinated me and I can't wait to explore it all and find lots of exciting pretty pastel treats! 

Pink Lolita's have always been a big inspiration - I love the enormous bows, layering of sheer and ruffley Marie Antoinette style pastel & just complete sugar overdoses. I decided to make a little mood board based on some of my favourite inspiring images/ pretty things (I have soooo many images I could have included so will probably be making more soon) <3

I wish the array of exciting bows and ribbons and chunky shoes! ahhhh massssive wishlist!

Second row: Two Lolitas in head to toe pink (LOVE IT), a very insane looking floral petal cake!, a super cute lolita with an overload of bows and pretty darling accesories in her hair.

Let them eat cake, a world of girly pink goodness ♡

Hi lovelies! So I've been working on so many bits and pieces recently, really need to get round to blogging it all! 

I did a couple of commissions for the wonderful Audrey Grace Boutique, a delightful little shop in America run by the lovely Jaclyn.

 This is the first, which I absolutely loved doing, a sparkly poster based on Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Marie Antoinette is probably my ultimate style icon, and Sofia's version of her is just too lovely, ever since I first watched the film I've dreamed about the exquisite long lacy dresses and gorgeous shoes. The cakes and colours, and candy popping brilliance just is so hard to beat! <3

Absolutely LOVE Kirsten's hair when it's all peachy with roses, one of best bits of styling I've ever come across <3

Been watching the film lots recently (bit like a bible for me (: )  It's making me excited for spring to be able to wear long lacy things again and lie in grass drinking nice summery drinks and having picnics!...

Jaclyn has done some super lovely styling akin to the dreamy vibes of spring time too, I can't stop looking at some of her styling shoots, particularly this dreamy girl and flowers, so many pretty things!...It's all here..Audrey Grace Boutique..

I'm feeling incredibly candy-fied today. I've been working on a whole series of candy girls, lots of pink paper, glitter and pastel things and pencils were involved! My bed is looking like a big sparkly mess! Here's a little sneaky peak of one of the drawing's I've been working on!...

Hope your all having lovely week's! My mum told me today that some of the trees are starting to blossom in our village so think I might venture out and try take some pretty snaps tomorrow <3 Love Springtime! 

Looking forwards to the weekend too, when Craig is coming home and we're having a Japanese style picnic with fizzy wine for my birthday celebrations (: Happy times!

OO & In other exciting news, two absolute darling lovelies have featured me on their blogs,

Kirsten as Antionette♡

Hello beauties! Been meaning to post more new drawings but they're still in progress, so though instead I'd show you my print (available soon I promise!) on my wall, with my wonderous new japanese heart washi tape! Kirsten is one of my favourite actresses of all time, and is perfect at playing the romantic delicate type with an edge. 

Had a coppola night last night with Craig where I re-watched Marie Antoinette for the millionth time and was reminded of why it shall always be a complete fav, the romantic dreamy colours, lavish ruffley costumes and the whole fantastical dream of being in Versailles in the Rococo era just send me dreaming  everytime. Thought I'd post a selection of gorgeous photos from the film with my drawing!

Lots of Love! Happy month of pink (:
