Witchy Women: Accessory Inspiration from the Land of Oz

[Spoiler Alert!]

Always and forever a classic in our eyes, we are thrilled about the release of Oz: The Great and Powerful, the prequel to our favorite childhood movie, The Wizard of Oz. With a superb cast (well hello, James Franco) and mind-blowing special effects, this movie has us excited about more than just the storyline. We’re also compelled by the style of the beautiful leading ladies!

Check out these wickedly (and not-so-wickedly) witch-inspired accessories, and be sure to snag a few of your favorites for spring. Now the only question is: Are you a good witch — or a bad witch?

Glinda

Always beautiful, Michelle Williams is ultra-stunning as Glinda the Good Witch! With a palette mostly comprised of silver, gold, and white, we love the feminine sparkles as an update to the original witch’s garb. If this look is for you, opt for items with sequins, glitter, and lace accents. Metallic flats, sparkly headbands, and feminine jewelry are ideal for making you a witchy woman. And don’t you just adore the glittery exterior of this Party Girl Clutch? We think it’s Glinda-approved!

Theodora

Mila Kunis looks delightfully evil as the Wicked Witch of the West! With subtle and seductive touches, we love the fresh take on a western style. To accomplish this look, hunt down accessories in black and red — especially ruby! Floppy hats are perfect for warmer weather, knee-high boots are great for transitioning from winter to spring, and doesn’t this high-waisted belt remind you of a saddle?! Complete the look with an Oz-inspired handbag like this Scarlett Exotic Buckle Satchel.

Evanora

We are completely infatuated with the glitz and glamour of Rachel Weisz’s character as the Wicked Witch of the East! Elegant and completely in style with this season’s emerald shade, this lady-like witch adds wicked wondefulness with black, sparkles, and feathers. This lace cuff bracelet, rose cameo necklace, and feather capelet are perfectly inspired! If she were to carry a purse, we think she would choose something like the Elaine Quilted Bag, don’t you?

The Oscars’ Best Dressed (and Tressed!) Ladies

The Oscar fashion gods have spoken, and 2013 was one helluvah year for glamorous dresses! Here are our top 5 picks (that’s right, we narrowed them wayyyy down!) for best dressed and best tressed at the 85th Academy Awards — because let’s be real, if the gals on the red carpet were having a bad hair day, their dresses just weren’t shining as bright, either.

Stacy Keibler

Although she might have gone as George Clooney’s coveted arm candy, Stacy Keiber killed it in a Great Gatsby-inspired Naeem Khan gown (the same designer who outfitted the First Lady that evening)! The draped embellishments, high neckline, cinched waist, and ultra-revealing back accentuated her gorgeous body, and her loosley-pinned retro waves made her our best dressed of the night!

Amy Adams

Amy Adams was the sweetest confection in this gorgeously-tiered Oscar de la Renta. The pale blue gown complimented her pale skin and red hair to fairytale perfection! We love how Amy kept it simple with drop earrings, a cuff, and a parted-down-the-middle updo. So chic — we’ll have this look for dessert, please!

Jennifer Lawrence

The 22-year-old Best Actress winner definitely looked the part in Christian Dior! We adored Jennifer’s classic upwsept ‘do paired with diamond earrings, a delicate back necklace, and silver clutch (we have a similar one here). This pale pink, dramatic fit-and-flair gown hugged Jennifer’s enviable curves — and equally enviable tiny waist — like a glove, and the ladylike color was reminiscent of bridal couture. Well, it was certainly her day, so we say cheers to the happy couple — Oscar and his lady!

Jessica Chastain

Holy movie star status! Jessica’s look was every bit the Old Hollywood tribute — the sparkly, fitted, beaded gown; the long, undone waves; the delicate jewels; the perfectly-lined red lips; and a megawatt smile.  We’re head-over-heels for Jessica’s acting chops, too, which certainly helped her case. :)

Charlize Theron

Dear Charlize, can we please be as effortlessly cool as you? Wearing a white-hot Christian Dior peplum gown and sporting a fabulously chic pixie, Charlize is that popular girl in school that guys adore and women envy beyond measure. Her dress and hair combo scream modern sophistication. *Sigh.*

 Who made your best dressed and tressed list Sunday night?

Spring Trend Preview: Celebrity Looks For Less

Spring is coming, and we’re slowly starting to see celebrities switch over from darker winter garb to lighter spring attire. With our eye on some of our favorite A-listers, we’ve pulled together a few looks for less for your Spring 2013 wardrobe. Time to start taking notes and plan a shopping trip!

 

Jennifer Lawrence look for less

Snag her style here!

It’s not always about the article itself, but more about a print, pattern, or color. In this case, the emerald green of Jennifer’s lovely dress is taking center stage. As the 2013 Color of the Year, emerald can be worn in a variety of shades (depending on your preferences or skin tone), ranging from dark to light. We just love this pleated beauty, which the Hunger Games star pairs with a pair of black strappy heels. Have a special occasion coming up? Opt for a green, jewel-toned frock like Jennifer’s!

 

Shay Mitchell look for less

Get the look here!

Brights are always a breath of fresh air when the spring season rolls around. Besties Vanessa Hudgens and Shay Mitchell each opted for a perfect mix of black and brights. Shay chose bright yellow skinnies and a neutral top, while Vanessa paired neutral bottoms with a bright top and an edgy leather jacket. Why not mix it up for the best of both worlds? Pair bright yellow skinny jeans with a sheer black top, much like the Pretty Little Liars star, and add a fun leather jacket to take the look to the next level!

Kendall Jenner style

Copy her look here!

The Kardashian’s younger sisters are all grown up — and their style is fabulous! All legs and long hair, Kendall Jenner looked young and fresh in a leather mini and studded black booties. As the leather trend transitions from winter to spring, the peek-a-boo trend emerges. We just love Kendall’s simple gray top with cut-out shoulders, baring a little bit of skin in a classy way. Our version looks much the same, with a much smaller price tag!

5 Bags that Only LOOK Expensive

Here at Handbag Heaven, it’s no surprise that we love handbags of all shapes, sizes, and colors. What better way to add some pizazz to your ensemble than with a fun bag that is not only functional, but also fashion-forward and adorable?! While we all dream of owning expensive, designer bags, it isn’t always in the budget. Fortunately, there are handbags available for much less, with today’s latest styles, colors, and embellishments. Don’t be alarmed by the handbags shown below…

They only look expensive!

Haute Hardware

Handbags with padlock embellishments are all the rage these days, thanks to the likes of a number of fabulous designers. The Felicity Exotic Satchel looks like a dead-ringer for these alleged handbags — at a fraction of the cost! This fancy lady offers a prim and proper presentation with the edge of exotic faux animal skin and shiny gold hardware. Can’t you just picture her on your arm?

Quilted Lady

Quilted handbags have been on the “Handbag Hotlist” for years, leaving fashionistas everywhere scrambling to find the perfect one, at a price they can afford. The Samantha Quilted Handbag comes in a number of stylish colors and is large enough to carry all of your daily necessities. Take her to work, take her out on a hot date, whatever — Samantha’s easy to please!

Studded & Sassy

This spring, handbags with flashes of bold color and funky embellishments will be a must-have. This little lady is right on trend, with her small size, bright fuchsia coloring, and shiny gold studs. The Ruthie Studded Satchel is a great adornment to your “going out” looks, but is conservative enough to take shopping. This bag would look perfect with an all-black ensemble and a pop of bright lipstick!

Woven Woman

Recently, oxblood shot to fashion stardom. As a result, we are head-over-heels for this Alexa Woven Satchel. Doesn’t she look fancy?! With a unique woven exterior, this bag would look gorgeous next to a bold winter coat and can be transitioned to early spring when paired with lighter neutrals, such as nude and white.

Turnlock Cutie

turn-lock satchel

Looking for a stylish bag that is practical for everyday? The Campbell Turn-lock Satchel comes in a number of great colors with a conservative-yet-fun presentation. This messenger bag features three modern turn-lock adornments across the front and is ideal for the trendy crossbody look. Pair it with casual jeans and flats for a trip to the mall, or dress it up for a day at the office. Wherever you are headed, this go-to bag is always there when you need her!

Spoiler Alert! Tomorrow Night’s Pretty Little Liars Winter Premiere

pretty little liars

Are you ready for more Pretty Little Liars? Fans of Rosewood’s drama and suspense are counting down the hours until the winter premiere tomorrow night. I know I have many burning questions I can’t wait to see answered. When is Spencer going to discover Toby’s true colors? Why does Mr. Fitz look so suspicious? What’s up with Aria’s dad? Who trapped Aria in that crate with Garrett’s body (ew)? And why was Ali’s body on the train in the drink cooler (double ew)?

To gear up, let’s remember where we left off with Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna, and take a sneak peak at what each PLL will be wearing in tomorrow night’s episode:

pretty little liars winter premier

The mid-season premier titled “She’s Better Now” will focus on how the Liars deal with Mona being released from Radley Sanitarium and attending Rosewood High. They’re skeptical if the previously evil and conniving Mona can be trusted. Each Liar has her own opinion about the new Mona.

Spencer

Spencer Hastings Clothes

Spencer’s family always seems to be at the center of Ali drama, and now her boyfriend Toby is double-crossing Spencer by working for the A-Team. In the Halloween episode, Spencer is one of the last people Garrett talks to before he dies. Garrett reveals to her that he did not kill Ali. He only pretended to kill her in front of blind Jenna, but later saw Aria’s dad Byron and Ali having an incriminating conversation. Shew!

Tomorrow night we’ll be seeing Spencer dressed as classic and classy as always in a grey cardigan, ruffled tank, green hi-low skirt, ankle-strap flats, and a watch.

Aria

aria montgomery clothes

Aria spent most of the Halloween episode trapped in a crate with Garrett’s dead body. Now, while she was definitely the victim in that situation, I’ve been hearing some pretty compelling evidence that Aria is A. (I’d love to hear your thoughts on that.) Besides that, how can we explain Ali’s late-night run-in with Aria’s dad the night she was killed? Not to mention, Aria’s boyfriend Ezra looks as guilty as all-get-out at the end of the Halloween episode. Plus, where are they going with the storyline that he has a secret son? There are some suspicious things happening in the Montgomery family.

Tomorrow night we’ll be seeing Aria looking as eclectic as ever in mixed leopard prints, stripes, a pink bag, and tall white heels.

Emily

emily fields clothes

I hope A takes it easy on Emily for the rest of the season. After Maya’s death, girlfriend drama with Paige, and nearly being killed by crazy Nate, the poor girl needs a break! But let’s be real, A doesn’t take it easy on any of them. I’m placing bets that Paige knows more about the A-Team than she lets on. I know I’m having a hard time trusting Paige. She did try to drown Emily, after all!

Emily’s style has definitely evolved over the series. She’s gone from sporty wallflower to edgy with a hint of glam. Tomorrow night Emily will be wearing a rocker tank, a moto jacket, layered necklaces, black jeans, boots, and a grey satchel.

Hanna

Hanna Marin clothes

Who else can’t get enough of Hanna and Caleb (Haleb)? Caleb always seems to be there to save the day for the girls, and I love how their storyline is playing out. But what’s up with Hanna’s mom, Ashley? They’re giving her and boyfriend Ted quite a bit of air time, especially during the Halloween episode when the little ghost girl is in Ashley’s house. Everyone who also reads the Pretty Little Liars book series can only assume that this is the ghost of Ali’s twin.

Tomorrow night, always-trendy Hanna will be wearing a blue polka dot dress, a blazer, bold jewelry, a color-block bag, and strappy heels.

What questions do you want answered during the winter premiere? I know I’ll be on the lookout for a male character with a bandaged hand.  Remember that a guy and a girl were trying to push the crate holding Garrett’s corpse and Aria off the train. Aria stabbed the guy’s hand with a screwdriver, which will surely show up bandaged tomorrow night.

Notice the handcuffs on Aria’s ankles. Is this a sign of guilt?

While military inspired looks are great for fall, Chung gives the outfit a girly touch with a metallic studded bag and brown booties.

To get Chung’s edgy messenger for a fraction of the price try the Mary Kate Studded Messenger.

It’s no secret studs are back full force on the spring runways, so now is the perfect time to add this studded fashion staple to your wardrobe.
