Woo hoo! Creepy kids’ movie, “Coraline” is finally on DVD and I’m totes excited! I’m actually curious to see if I’ll enjoy the flick half as much on a little screen. I’m sure I will. The super-cool DVD on my Coraline DVD Release and All Things Coraline guide includes the 3-D version of the movie, so that should add to my enjoyment immensely. Don’t worry, I’ve included the 3-D glasses for purchase as well.

Dig the Coraline Dunks! With the cat and mouse tails!

Isla Fisher is always tre chic, and she didn’t let us down at the UK premiere of her guy (Sacha Baron Cohen)’s new movie, Bruno. This look matches, without going overboard: necklace and clutch are the same shade of grey, shoes and dress are both a lighter shade of the same color, and all this head-to-toe monochrome looks anything but dull when paired with Isla’s red hair and fire engine lips. The breastplate necklace is a major trend for this summer!

Lipstick: NARS Lipstick in Jungle Red
Clutch: Jessica McClintock Rectangle Fold Over Box Clutch
Shoes: Haru grey leather sandal by L.A.M.B.
Necklace: tuleste market Large Hammered Squares Choker
Dress: Ponte Pleated Tube by Silence & Noise

I’m not going to lie- the most I’ve ever seen of anything Star Trek is the preview for the 2009 version that came on before the movie I actually paid to go see. Just because I’m not a Trekkie, however, does not mean I don’t appreciate futuristic fashion! “Star Trek” premiered on the 8th of this month and Zoe Saldana looks like she rocked the role of Nyota Uhura (cute dress!). I created a Dress Like Nyota Uhura buyer’s guide with literal and non-literal versions of her style to inspire your everyday look or your Halloween costume (there’s an actual Nyota costume in the guide, if that’s what you’re in the market for). Have fun!

Shown: Charm Straight by TressAllure Hairpieces, Sterling Silver 9×17mm White FW Pearl Teardrop Earrings, and Urban Renewal Mixed Strip Knit Tunic.

Disney-Pixar’s Up is less than a month away from premiering (May 29th in Disney Digital 3-D)! If you liked Monster’s Inc., brace yourself: Up is directed by the same guy, Pete Docter. I have a feeling it’s going to be absolutely hilarious and completely darling. How could it not be? Duh, I’m obsessed with the characters already and, as you know, I’m always looking for an excuse to dress up. If you’re like me and/or you’re just super-excited for a new Pixar movie, you should check out my Dress Like Carl Fredricksen from Disney-Pixar’s UP shopping guide. This outfit’s great for opening night at the movies, Halloween, a Pixar theme party, or just for fun. Obviously, the main character is MALE, but the products in my guide are all women’s apparel and accessories (i.e. a pre-tied bow tie). It’s really cute, you’ll see.

See my other “Dress Like” guides at the links below. There’s definitely going to be more of these in the future! If you have any ideas for a fun character dress-up, let me know and I’ll shop for you!

Dress Like Coraline

Tim Burton-Esque

Robin Hood-Esque Fashion for Women

In case you didn’t already know, Spike Jonze and writer Dave Eggers, have created a movie based on the classic book, Where the Wild Things Are.  One my favorites when I was little; the illustrations were so perfectly dark and creepy and I’m interested to see how it translates into the movie.

I found the cutest pic that I had to share of a Max costume that someone made on Etsy.  I would snatch up this one up if I knew someone that could wear it!

I also found some really cute merch:  Where The Wild Things Are Wrist Clutch,  One of a Kind Buttons, and Handmade Recycled Glass Pendant.  Check out more good stuff to get you excited for the movie in my Where The Wild Things Are buyer’s guide.

A friend and I were recently discussing what types of outfits are worn by interviewees for a big time fashion magazine job in New York and how these clothes compare to “appropriate” interview attire on the West Coast (a.k.a. the Best Coast). The Miu Miu outfit Jessica Alba wore to the premiere of Sugar yesterday reminded me of office attire you could rock after you land the job (the HR manager might not appreciate the mini skirt, even with dark tights).  See Dress Like Jessica Alba at the Sugar Premiere to see my Alba Outfit look-alike choices, including where to buy the actual Miu Miu Suede Peep Toe Pumps and an exact CZ replica of J. Albs’ engagement ring for cheap!)

The pieces of this look translate to an overall classic appearance with a twist of modern trends (i.e. printed blouse, skinny belt). The end result is an outfit that looks great at any occasion, by day or by night. Very cute.

Pinocchio has got to be the cutest Disney character ever created. Seventy years ago, Pinoc, Geppetto, Jiminy, and the rest of the endearing movie characters made their debut in Walt Disney’s second animated feature, Pinocchio (after Snow White’s debut in 1937). The upcoming March 10th release of the 70^th Anniversary Platinum Edition DVD inspired me to think of a new party theme idea. Decorate your space like Geppetto’s puppet shop with Italian food and red apples, cuckoo clocks, magical Blue Fairy glitter, and plastic Pinoc noses and key chains for everyone! (Or take it to Pleasure Island with amusement park décor, Pin the Tail on the Donkey games, cotton candy, casino games, and candy cigars.)

Either way, if the hostess with the mostess decides to dress the part of darling Pinocchio, she can’t forget a black vest, blue bow tie, and red shorts! And of course, the movie must be playing all night on repeat! Check out my Pinocchio Style Guide on Kazowie.com for more fashion and party ideas!

I know we just semi-recently entered 2009, but I’m ready for 2010 already! Mainly because of the release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. It’s Tim, so you know what that means: Johnny Depp - YES!! (Mad Hatter… I must have channeled Johnny last Halloween. We’re meant to be!), and Tim’s wife, Helena Bonham Carter (Red Queen). And I’m really excited to see Alan Rickman, a.k.a. Professor Snape’s performance as the Caterpillar! I have a feeling that’s about to be very entertaining. . .

The Alice story is already warped to begin with, so I can’t wait to see Burton’s (purportedly 3-D) interpretation of the twisted tale. To get everyone pumped and primped for the movie release, I’ve found some darling Tim Burton-esque fashion to inspire you. (Make sure you click that link to the full guide on Kazowie to see all the other cute Burton inspired apparel and accessories I found!!)  

Last night, I paid a whopping $12.75 to see Henry Selick’s stop motion movie, Coraline. (He also directed The Nightmare Before Christmas, another Tim Burton production). The animation was crazy and very visually stimulating (a.k.a. trippy and colorful to the max). And it was in 3-D, which made everything that much cooler. Once I got over the facts that I paid over $10 for a movie and that Dakota Fanning was the voice of Coraline, I was actually able to enjoy my experience at the theater.

Coraline’s adorable outfits were all handmade and looked like real clothes that a real kid would wear. I couldn’t help thinking that she and her pal, Wybie would be really fun characters to dress up as for next Halloween. I also began pondering how Coraline’s fashion could be translated to real-life womens’ outfits. With the movie still fresh in my mind, I created a Dress Like Coraline buyer’s guide, which includes clothes and accessories similiar to those Coraline sports in the movie. Don’t forget the blue hair and dragonfly barrette! P.S. I recommend seeing Coraline while it’s still in 3-D at the theater. I don’t think it will be the same to watch at home.
