Did You See Alice In Wonderland? What Did You Think?

Friday night myself and the men that I love so dearly went to see Alice in Wonderland at the drive inn (yes they still have those). I know the reviews are mixed but I really enjoyed it. Honestly I was expecting the a live action movie based on the original Alice cartoon. I wasn't even aware that there was a sequel to the first book (which I haven't read). So my task for the next week is to pick up a copy of Alice in Wonderland at the library. Reading is FUN-damental! Maybe we can start an online book club for those who haven't read them either. (:

I really loved this dress. Alice wore it at the Red Queen's castle.

Everyman needs a decent sports coat. It is essential for any man to have one in their wardrobe. Generally a man will go with a standard navy blue, but you could always spruce things up a bit. This nice tweed vintage jacket can spruce up any mans wardrobe in a flash.

A Shop to Remember: Sleepyrobot13

Recently I’ve been on a quest to find indie shops that are off the beaten path. Sometimes I question where my own designs fit in and it’s always refreshing to see other designers with a creative sense of humor. Sleepy Robot 13 is one of those shops. This shop is filled with the cutest polymer clay robot toys as well as zombie toast.

I visited the SleepyRobot13 shop recently and was delighted to find that adorable robot jewelry has been added. Here are just a few pieces.

Interviews: Jewelry Designer Katrina Kelly

Katrina Kelly is a jewelry designer based out of New York. She shares with us her love for architecture and the reason she designs jewelry with and old world flair.

What inspired you to design jewelry with an antique influence?

I believe it was inevitable for my designs to have an antique influence. I grew up surrounded by antiques. My parents exposed me to a mostly classical ideology. They are aficionados of French furniture, Persian rugs, Venetian glass and so many other collectibles. My father especially has an aesthetically astute eye. My parents instilled this love in me at the age of 10 when they bought me a French Louis XV Mahogany bedroom set for my birthday. Growing up, almost every Sunday we went to church then went to the antique market. I was taken to estate sales and antique auctions. They could not get enough “antiquing”.
