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.

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.

- Vera Wang Rhinestone & Rosette Necklace $850
- Forever 21 Eclectic Sequin Bib Necklace $17.80
I love these for fall. I know it’s only July, but I’m sick to death of perusing maillots and flip flops. I found the fall collections to be both exciting and inspiring, chock full of black and metal and rock and roll – digging. I actually think I like the F 21 version better, if that’s possible; a little more edge, a bit less precious. $832.20 less precious to be exact!

Trouvé One Pocket Boyfriend Tee in Black $15.90
Overlooking the fact that she is in desperate need of a sandwich therefore making this ‘it really is super cute’ top look weird? It really is super cute. I recently picked up a couple at Loehmann’s (in black and white) under the name ‘Eight Sixty,’ but it’s the exact same shirt. For so long I found myself looking for a comfy top (one that didn’t belong to J) to throw on with jeans; Not a fitted tee, not a button down, and not a sweater, rather something that would look kind of cool without trying too hard. Not only are these super soft cotton, even though they’re slouchy they’re still sized to fit, so it doesn’t appear that you’re lost in your boyfriend’s (husband’s) boxy t-shirt. Surprisingly flattering, it’s a great casual-chic look (whatever the hell that is) for night, teamed up with jeans, heels, and a great necklace. Originally marked at twenty eight bucks, it also comes in gray and purple.

Forever 21 Stone Drape Necklace in Pink/Gold $12.80
Forever 21 or not, I love this! It also comes in black and cream versions, but I have visions of this one atop tanned skin (I know, but I’m a product of the ’80’s), with a white cotton dress. I own a similar one in turquoise, that I found years ago in a thrift store – I’ve worn it into the ground, and have always received tons of compliments. It just might be time for a replacement…

Banana can be pretty hit or miss in all arenas, depending upon who happens to be designing on any given year. I popped in the other day, and was taken aback by how beautiful some of their jewelry was. Given the resurgence of costume jewelry, below are some great picks that are both beautiful and affordable. Besides, if you have to hit the hell that is the mall this holiday season? You deserve to treat yourself to something sweet! (Picks based upon seeing pieces up close and in person, in lieu of just some crappy internet photo.)
Cabochon Studded Bracelet in Pine Green $39
Gold Ring Pendant Necklace $34
