Costume History: Disney Style

Illustrator Claire Hummel has taken it upon herself to add a wee bit of historical accuracy to some of the most popular Disney heroines. Granted, many of the originals weren't too terribly far off the historical track in terms of costume design but there was definitely some room for improvement. I thought this was such a cool project but I'll fall all over myself for anything that glorifies historical accuracy. While Claire's renderings are still extremely stylized in that Disney sort of way (with a dash of artistic license), I think they are certainly more interesting than the originals.

Emerald City

I've been on an emerald green kick lately. Anyone out there in the midst of a color obsession?
PS: I don't know about you, but I would definitely wear this cloche. Check out the millinery shop here!

Monday Dose of Color

I guess I'm still in a midcentury kind of mood after the Mark Shaw post yesterday. This morning I rounded up a few more of my favorite fashion/lifestyle images from the time. Get a load of that pink convertible! Of course she's dressed to match. Have a colorful week!
