Clothing and accessories inspired by a Disney movie? I was skeptical, even though I loved “Alice in Wonderland” as a child and love that Tim Burton made an updated movie version, because you never know what rabbit hole designers will fall into when creating pieces based on a film. But after seeing some of the Alice in Wonderland Disney Couture items at the W Hollywood hotel’s party last week, I was pleasantly surprised — impressed, even.
When I saw this statement necklace by Tom Binns, I wanted to rip it off the mannequin and wear it right then and there. Who could resist these red candy-like hearts, safety pins and crystal chains? It’s cute and edgy at the same time. I want, want, want! Too bad it costs more than $1,000…
- Tom Binns ‘All Heart’ Necklace
There’s more: a broken tea cup necklace inspired by the Mad Hatter tea party and a chain-and-charm necklace featuring all kinds of images from the movie.
- Tom Binns ‘Smashing Time’ Necklace
(There’s a simpler version of the Charmed Adventure necklace available from Bloomingdale’s for $175.) See more Tom Binns Alice in Wonderland jewelry on Luxist.
- Tom Binns ‘Charmed Adventure’ Necklace
I also really liked the Charlotte Tarantola cardigans inspired by the film. Once again, the cute-yet-edgy look is prevalent with ruffles on the placket, a Tarantola signature. The black-and-white lace printed cardigan was my favorite.

And the pièces de résistance, the Sue Wong dresses. The Flower Wonderland-Inspired beaded gown ($588), with a tulip petal skirt, is gorgeous. And the Red Queen-Inspired dress ($388), which is really black, is very cool.
- Sue Wong for Walt Disney ‘Flower Wonderland-Inspired’ Beaded Gown $588
- Sue Wong for Walt Disney Signature ‘The Red Queen-Inspired’ Strapless Dress $388
Check out Bloomingdale’s, the Disney Store and Zappos for more Alice in Wonderland-inspired clothing and accessories.
And check out the lobby of the W Hollywood. It’s very open and modern, though I question the use of British terms such as “lifts” for elevators and “WC” (i.e. “water closets”) for restrooms. I bet the hotel will change that WC to restrooms soon enough. Anyway, a walk through the hotel’s Delphine restaurant yielded a modern take on art deco decor that I liked a lot. Too bad they were full (supposedly, with reservations, despite having many empty tables) and couldn’t seat us. Maybe another time.

One of the things that has always been a huge drag about H&M, is that you can’t shop online (unless you speak German). You can however, check out their stuff, and with the addition of their Fashion Studio, you can now waste hours of your precious time mixing and matching various outfits on an underwear-clad model (think paper dolls for big girls). You can even choose a ‘head’ for your model in order to emulate ‘your’ coloring, to perhaps get a better idea of what the outfits might in fact look like on you. I’ve taken the liberty of putting together this little ensemble, which is a most reasonable two hundred bucks for everything. It’s also a good transitional outfit from winter to spring. That is all. (Price of jeans estimated at $39.95)

Fiona Paxton Copper 'Sofi' Long Necklace $357.27
Cover Girl Queen Collection 3-in-1 Nail Polish in 'Copper Penny' $3.09
Marc Bouwer Copper Swimsuit (Image via: WWD.com/Photographed by Tom Concordia)
Inspired by Nine West’s Spring Collection, I am now obsessed with the copper. Spring Blues may the most popular upcoming trend, but wouldn’t copper make an excellent accent color? Think about this: an Alice and Wonderland dusty blue dress paired with a layered copper chain necklace; a blue denim shirt worn with giant copper earrings; or a bright turquoise romper worn with metallic copper heels. These looks could steal the show! Are you interested now?
Above are a few of my favorite copper picks for Spring 2010. I drool over this copper swimsuit by Marc Bouwer; it’s just so fashion forward and bold. More than likely, I will sport my love for copper with jewelry, including the Fiona Paxton Copper ‘Sofi’ Long Necklace from Asos, Candy Heart Earrings from AUNALI Artisan Metal, at Etsy.com and Copper Tone Wood Bangles from Target. If you’re hesitant to give copper a try, you can experiment with the look in a small dose with this Cover Girl Queen Collection Nail Polish, available at Target. So…are you in?

1. Lucite: It’s not just for strippers anymore.
2. If you’ve got the legs, shorts are the shizznit for Spring.
3. Neutrals: Nude is the new black.
4. Loving this lingerie inspired dress from Calypso. Note: The word inspiration is key; your bra is not a shirt.
5. Bright accessories add a modern glow to warm your winter gloom!
6. Feminine is back, complete with pretty pastels and rows of ruffles.
7. Safari styles infuse a sense of adventure, and add a rough-hewn edge that balance out girlish silhouettes.
8. From swimsuits to sandals, patterns and prints cover everything this season.
9. Go for sheer sheaths and translucent tees, but do yourself (and us) a favor – wear something underneath.
10. The clog sandal is so super seventies? It makes me want to throw my car keys in the bowl…

Foley & Corinna Mid-City Tote in Beige $444
Diane von Furstenberg Silk Cropped Pants in 'Chocolate' $205
Elie Tahari Necklace $298
Not only was I fortunate enough to spend a lovely holiday week in Palm Springs surrounded by family and friends, I received a gift of a shopping trip to one of my most favorite places: The Desert Hills Premium Outlets. Although this might sound like the seventh ring of hell to some, there is nothing that I love more than the cheap challenge of an outlet, and Desert Hills has some good ones. Amongst the requisite crap-fest that is True Religion, Liz Claiborne and UGG, you’ll also find YSL, Gucci, Barney’s, Saks, Jimmy Choo and Bottega Veneta to name (literally) just a few. Per usual, I came away with my arsenal of tiny VANS, but I also managed to score some great stuff for myself.
Clearly, the outlet deal is that it’s mostly (okay entirely) post-season, so the images shown are the closest I could find without having to subject you to more of my own photographic obscenities. I scored the Mid-City tote (minus the weird shiny leather – mine is matte) at the Saks outlet for $300; they also had the larger ‘City Tote’ version for $339. In lieu of the Chocolate ones pictured, my satin DVF pants are olive green. They’re also akin to wearing pajamas, cost a mere $59.50, and are the pants shizz-nit for Spring 2010 (more on that later). My necklace is actually a pale dusty-rosy-lavendery…ish color, and is a gorgeous complement to the gunmetal chains and rhinestones; it also doubles as a belt. Although a somewhat impractical buy even on sale ($100), I was unable to divorce myself from it since I know I will wear it a skillion times. I’ve always said that it’s the little things, and a dreamy day in my world it was…

When my friend D (a.k.a. San Diego Momma: Not only is she an excellent and high-larious writer, my girl is crazy smart and a savvy shopper to the tune of a pair of Chloé heels scored at a thrift store for $11. Done.) said that she couldn’t wait to see my Christmas list, my initial thought was, ‘That’s odd. I wonder why she’s interested in what I’m getting the boys, since she has two girls…’ So I’m a total spaz. Although D is quite possibly the only one excited to check this out, I had a hell of a lot of fun ’shopping’ for it and no, it isn’t my real list.

PONO Element Bracelets $58
PONO Pearl and Chain Necklace in 'Gunmetal' $48
PONO Paradox Earrings in 'Cloud' $55
Some things are just uniquely beautiful, like Frank Lloyd Wright architecture or Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce – sturdy and enduring, yet at the same time entirely relevant. Designed in NYC by Joan Goodman, PONO jewelry is no exception with inspiration derived from both classic elements and vintage design. It is the embodiment of “modernism with a timeless ideal,” with each piece solidly crafted from either wood, shell, horn or Italian resin, and reproduced with integrity in Italy.
I’m happy to say that I am the proud owner of the Element Bracelet in Ivory (retailing elsewhere for $285), which I recently showcased as the focal point of an entirely black outfit (save for a pair of champagne colored satin boots that were its perfect complement). I honestly cannot remember the last time I wore something that garnered so much attention, including adjectives like ‘unique’ and ’spectacular.’ I received numerous questions such as, “Is that an antique?” (always a good thing in my opinion), “Did an artist make it?” and of course the ever-popular, “Where can I get one?”
Although stocked by high-end retailers and worn by fashion forward celebs such as Julianne Moore and Hilary Swank, you can purchase the entire PONO collection online at The PONO Annex for a fraction of the price! Necklaces that retail for $575 can be had for $130, and bracelets listed for $100 elsewhere, are available as low as $28. Just in time for the holiday shopping season, PONO has been generous enough to offer an additional 10% discount to LASM readers, from December 1st through December 15th, when you enter code LASTYLE1 at checkout. Just another example of how PONO continues to be eternally stylish…

Hazel & Harlow Petite Antiqued 'Heart Of Gold' Pendant $75
Hazel & Harlow 'A Rose Is A Rose' Gold Carved Ring $150
Hazel & Harlow Antiqued Horseshoe Earrings $95
So pretty and delicate and a teensy bit quirky, Hazel & Harlow feels like a throwback to an old fashioned and more romantic time; not unlike a treasure you would be thrilled to discover in your grandmother’s jewelry box – your very cool grandmother, mind you. In a season that’s dominated by in-your-face statement pieces, Hazel & Harlow is like a floral scented breath of fresh air. I also happen to think that there’s nothing sexier than wearing a teeny mini pendant that beckons others to come closer to check it out for themselves (*wink-wink*).
Hazel & Harlow’s ‘Heart Of Gold’ necklace is crafted of 24K gold vermeil with an 18″ chain. The heart itself is etched with a star motif, each inset with a tiny round topaz stone – simple, beautiful, perfect…could be yours! In addition to a generous 30% off site-wide discount from now through November 3rd (simply enter code LASTYLIST09), we’ll be giving away a Petite ‘Heart Of Gold’ Pendant worth $75 to one lucky reader!
If you’d like to enter for a chance to win, all you have to do is sign up to become an L.A. Stylist Mom Facebook Fan (if you haven’t already). Then be sure leave us a comment on this post letting us know that you did – that’s it! Good luck…
