Inspired looks from a Disney princess - Rapunzel

Rapunzel is one of my favourite princesses. Her long beautiful hair was a dream for me when I was a little girl, reading the Brothers Grimm.


In the movie, Rapunzel is positive and independent. She is young and beautiful in the movie with long and golden hair. Floral details and the colour of pink are keys for her looks. Bare feet is another factor to consider. However, you can still be playful with shoes on. 

Roksanda - dress
Rapunzel is dressed up in pink dresses in Tangled with fine detailed prints. This simple V-neck dress is constructed with direct lines and rich orchid-hue.

Marchesa Notte - dress
Rapunzel is stunning with floral outfits and accessaries in Tangled. The floral embroidery looks feminine and delicate on the beige tulle. The princess actually walks and runs with bare feet. But I couldn't resist this pair of sandals.  

Marysia - bikini
The bikini is structured with its signature scalloped halter neck top and briefs. The floating coat shows the free spirits of the princess. This is the look to go bare feet. 

Marni - crepe top + J.CREW - skirt
The top is detailed with crystals for a true princess which fits perfectly with the high-waist A-line ‘Leslie’ skirt. Usually blonde looks better in pink. However, this outfit is for all hair colours.
 

Hatch - tank +Moschino - boucle-tweed shorts
The tank is an all-size design for a loose and casual fit while the pink shorts are ladylike and formal. Together, this look is dynamic and interactive.
 

Cushnie et Ochs - bra top + Roland Mouret - wide-leg pants

The bra top is detailed with flattering ruffles and crafted with supports. Wide-leg pants is a must have in this season. Spice the outfit with floral accessaries like Rapunzel.

Inspired looks from a Disney princess - Pocahontas

Pocahontas is the main character in Pocahontas and its sequel Journey to a New World. Her name means “Little Mischief” which reflects her intelligence, leadership and free-spirit in the movie. She as the daughter of the Native’s chief, is the first American Disney Princess. Pocahontas is also the first Disney Princess that has different lovers in each movie. 

I’m not very familiar with Pocahontas. I have to admit that I haven’t watched the two movies until this year for the blog. However, I love her fondness towards nature and spirits. Her open mind towards the unknowns is inspiring to me.

Amy Vachal from the Voice looks like Pocahontas to both me and Gwen. She's known as the living Pocahontas. 

Halston Heritage - feather-embellished gown
The hand-applied beads and feathers light this gorgeous piece with uniqueness and free-spirits which fits perfectly with Pocahontas’s characteristics.
 

Sacai Luck - poncho + Tamara Mellon - fringed shorts
The wool poncho looks cozy and warm while the fringed shorts adds more feel towards the Natives. Fringing items are also fun to wear and walk around with. 

Chloe - poncho + Vince - suede leggings
The poncho is simply beautiful with patchwork of varied colours and prints. It is retro and effortless, but sets a statement in the meantime. Put on a pair of black over-knee boots would be perfect.

Alexander McQueen - cropped ruffled top + MIH Jeans - suede mini skirt
White goes well with Pocahontas’s skin tone and wavy hair. Sarah Burton’s collection emphasizes romance, blossom and rebirth. The ankle bracelet will be a final touch to the look.

Anna Sui - dress
Anna Sui is the master of lolita and bohemian styles. This dress is bold and direct. It is still cute with the two birds stitched along the hem. 

Zimmermann - bikini

I am not sure whether Natives swim. But brown should be the colour to go for.

Rose Quartz + Serenity

Pantone Universe announced the 2016 colours of the year: Rose Quartz and Serenity. It’s the first time that Pantone picked two colours.
I call them baby colours since you can easily let your mind fly to balloons, ice creams, flowers and sky. They reflect security and happiness. When these two colours are combined, a sense of warmth and peace arises. When the global is vibrating non-stop, our eyes need the gentleness brought by these two colours.

Sephora has crossed with Pantone to introduce a collection. The collection includes 2 lipsticks, one eyes palette with 24 eyeshadow shades and a lip gloss set with 6 shades.


Valentino - gown
Valentino’s Resort ’16 collection highlights bohemian exoticism and places people into a garden party.
 

Jenny Packham - gown
The details with pink beaded floral appliqués are fairy-tail-like, hence, this gown is designed for princess.
 

Gucci - silk dress
This comes out of Alessandro Michele’s first collection for Gucci. Romantic and flirty. 

Antonio Berardi - dress
A dress that defines your curve with a unique sleeve design.


Rose Quartz Mix
Three different textures and three different shades.


Serenity Mix
A perfect mix-and-match for all kinds of occasions.
