Going to the Cinema

Last night I went to see the long-awaited Alice in Wonderland. My first cinematic 3D experience, it was thoroughly enjoyable. I particularly loved the arrogant Queen with her heart shaped lipstick and the blue butterfly at the end which I really did think was fluttering right in front of me, as well as the overall dark Tim Burton slant on a childhood classic.

When I go to the cinema I like to be cosy and comfy, so this vintage cape seemed to be the perfect cover up. And my camera settings and editing give an appropriate gothic edge I think, to the pictures I took just before I headed out.















Vintage black & plum wool cape ❖ Urban Buzz Stockholm silk top ❖ H&M shorts ❖ Tabio tights ❖ black patent gladiator sandals ❖ Chanel handbag ❖ Cartier watch ❖ Ragtrader at Etsy rings

PS. Thanks for all the breakfast suggestions in yesterday's post, I can't wait to try some of them!

I watched the movie on Friday and really liked it. You're right about the butterfly at the end, it was really cool how it flew towards the audience! :)

I really like your Make up- I love the way your eyeliner looks. I need to practice on that ;)

Have a lovely Sunday evening.

I love your cape Paula!! It's beautiful. I just bought a kinda of mustardy but bright yellow cape. Does that even make sense?? ha ha... anyway... I have no idea when I'm going to wear this cape because it's already getting warm in Maui! :)

Alice in Wonderland was grrrrreat!! Alice's dresses were amazing and Queen of Hearts quite entertaining.. and Mad Hatter, *sigh* Johnny Depp is genuis and of course dreamy!! :)

I hope you're having a beautiful Sunday.!!

xx Love & Aloha

Breat.Taking. I love this look! Wow!

fanfareforlibrarians said...

you have glorious bone structure! i'm in envy. i won't even go into the cape thing, because i long for a good one, and that looks quite sublime!

AlicePleasance said...

You look so gorgeous in that second picture! I like modern 3D, but some years ago I had the opportunity of watching a lot of 50s movies in 3D: Dial M for Murder, House Of Wax, Creature from the Black Lagoon and some others - and that was definitely uber fun!!

Maria Confer said...

Your photos are always so stunning. Love your cinema outfit.

Wow you look gorgeous, I love the photos too, the camera settings worked so well!

I really need to see Alice in Wonderland, everyone is giving rave reviews!

Diana said...

I have yet to watch the film but have you watched Alice from the SyFy channel? Amazing also!

I love your Cartier Tank watch- I received one for an engagement gift with the Cartier book and I always feel so frumpy when I wear it. I save it for special occasions, even if it's meant to last forever.

Retro Chick said...

Oooh! Isn't it a great film?

I'm jealous of your cape.

Lolla said...

That's a great outfit for the movies, there's nothing worst than feeling cold when you cannot go somewhere and grab a coat or turn the heating up. :)

I'm also loving the nail polish; just seen, but what a lovely colour. Would you mind sharing the info?

WendyB said...

I was excited to see the movie, then the reviews came out and I've totally lost interest!

Andhari said...

I always love chanel bags. And I love how you do your hair and make up. Very sophisticated. I'm going to see Alice In Wonderland 3d soon hopefully. So curious!

I saw Alice in Wonderland yesterday, I enjoyed it but not as much as I thought I would, I liked the Cheshire cat though!

tupersonalshopperviajero said...

katrina said...

i'm going to wait till the dvd comes out... sadly, going out to the movies requires patience that i just lack (ie. listening to other people whisper during the movie, seat kicking, etc).

you look beautiful, Paula and for the thousandth time: i love your hair.

S and O said...

I like your lipstick...that is such a pretty shade!! :)

Hello! I do not remember exactly what I said. But I mean that if u is a cute blog. You have very good taste and one thing I remember (laughs) its chanel is lovely too! A kiss, Elisa.
By the way, I used the google translator, and I believe he should have used as well. He not translate exactly what we write. But remember that I sent you a SMAC, which is the snap of the lips when blowing kisses to her friends.
Smac!
