If you own a TV, read magazines or basically walk down the street, you have seen the hype that Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is creating. From billboards to O.P.I’s line of custom “Wonderland” colors…there is no denying the impact Alice is having on all of us. So what’s the big deal?

I started doing my Wonderland research…and there’s no surprise why people have become enchanted with this movie. What’s better than escaping from all this snow, into a world of fantasy and imagination! The costumes, cast, animation and color make this film a visionary dream. I knew I had to get in on the action.

I became inspired when I picked up the new March issue of Marie Claire. Mia Wasikowska (Alice) takes part in a great photo shoot where she is dressed in whimsical clothing and accessories. I was in love!

You want to feel as if you have escaped into a world of fantasy. This is truly a trend  for all the free spirits out there who love to dress girly, romantic, or slightly less than ordinary.

I’ve gathered some of my favorite “Alice” inspired pieces below for you to get a start on your own whimsical journey…

The best part of theAlice layout in Marie Claire was the studded Army jumper boots!! When I was in my 20’s I wore jumper boots almost everyday with so many looks:).

I love those boots too! They’re the perfect counterpoint to girly upon girly layers. I also love that you included so many pretty headbands– crucial to creating a fantasy-type feel in your outfit!
