LIFE by Nina Leen

Impossible Things (before breakfast)

The chain goes something like this: Carroll>Burton>Binns>Bloomingdales

Anticipation of Tim Burtons' Alice In Wonderland is awesomely high, and the fashion world's got a slew of colabs to tide us over. Id est; Bergdorf windows, Stella McCartney necklace & bracelet, Alex McQueen couture collection.
Tom Binns, however, has created a line of jewelry...that I will let speak for itself.








This is just a peak-the collection features 40 pieces mused by the White Queen, Mad Hatter, Red Queen, the Tea Party and the Cheshire Cat.

Binns told Vogue UK he spent a lot of time thinking about...

“psychology of the story and what Alice means as a character to adults, and what she means as a character to children. It is totally different as a child's imagination is something us adults used to have, but have forgotten.”

i see it. and i can not WAIT for the movie.

Into the Sunshine

Listen to Into the Sunshine (#35) here
Lovely Swedish girl, records her own music. This song sounds really good on a rainy day in Philadelphia. At least the snow is melting.
