Try to do so without any coaching!

And now for Wednesday's Fashion...


Today's fashions come from an awesome place....fairy tales and fantasy movies!




This week I have been introduced to a new show on ABC called "Once Upon a Time". I love it! Fairy tale characters are cursed to live in real life...the catch? they don't know who they really are! I love the feel of the movie and so far I am loving the costumes.

I wish we could dress like this everyday! well, maybe not every day...once a week? I love fairytales and the fashion is such a great part of reading and watching them
I mean the effect wouldn't be the same if Cinderella ran away at the stroke of midnight wearing jeans and a sweatshirt right?


This is what we envision...a beautiful flowing dress that shimmers slightly in the moonlight.

Here is a costume from The Lord of the Rings" one of my favorite  movies. I swear I think I would wear this all day if it didn't mean that my sleeves would catch fire when I cooked or got sucked into the vacuum when tidying up.

In the mean time I think I shall retire to my chamber and await my true love's kiss....Oh shoot,  he's in there now snoring away.
