Disney’s Alice in Wonderland and Bloomingdale’s – In Perfect Harmony
It’s just a pure coincidence that I chose a Mad Hatter/Alice in Wonderland theme for my baby shower at the end of the month. My friends are planning the shower of course, but I chose the theme and I can still indulge by looking around online.
Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland starring Johnny Depp is set to be released in theaters this Friday, March 5th. I believe the release of the movie will spark interest in planning Alice in Wonderland themed events and we’ll be ready!
Of course, the craze has also hit retailers! Bloomingdale’s has window displays in their flagship 59th Street store in New York City. They also have a line of dresses by Sue Wong for Walt Disney Signature. Below are some retailers they have partnered up with and I may have to get my hands on some of these goodies.
Bloomingdale’s window displays – Be sure to also check out some of their Alice in Wonderland items in their online store.
Jewelry by Swarovski
Eye shadow palette by Urban Decay
Earrings by Tom Binns
Nail Laquer by OPI
I would love to see a bride in one of these dresses. Designed by Sue Wong for Walt Disney
How about attending a bridal shower or luncheon in one of these dresses?
See you in the theaters!

Holiday Photo Fun
Instead of sending out holiday cards this past December, we decided to send out cards celebrating the New Year (partly because we had procrastinated and partly because we thought we’d stand out). Our photographer and friend Suzi Lighten of TSL Photography took us out a few weeks ago and shot some photos of us. We went to the Palms and the Artisan Hotel and here are the photos!
