Wes Anderson Theme Party = SUCCESS!!

Those of you who know me are well aware of my love for all things Wes Anderson. Needless to say, it's been a very exciting past month planning for this party that has been, well, at least 3 years in the making!

Special thanks to:
• Alicia, my co-host, for helping put this together.
• Matt, for so generously lending us your apartment.
• My husband, Wayde, for spending 5+ hours making this & winning Best Overall Costume in a landslide victory.
• Also to Flatform, ReadyMade Magazine, and all the fabulous party people in attendance!

The Wes Anderson Theme Party

You are cordially invited to the ultimate Wes Anderson Theme Party the world will ever see! Well, at least in Des Moines, IA.

In addition to themed rooms, a costume contest, & film-inspired drinks, we have Flatform providing the Audio/Visual entertainment for the evening and special guests from ReadyMade Magazine's Society Pages dropping in.

This is not to be missed! And we'd love for you to be in attendance.

Tickets are $5 each and may be purchased from me (Erin), Matt, or Alicia @ Mars Cafe on most given days. Alternatively, tickets may be purchased via PayPal by emailing: iheartwesanderson@gmail.com

Be sure to check out our "Party Tumblr" for more details!

The Fairest of the Seasons

I've been waiting for you for a long time, October. It's nice to have you back.

Psychologic by Christian Louboutin

In this modern day reimagination of Psycho, Marion Crane dies and goes to shoe heaven. (SPOILER ALERT: The ones she picks at the end would've been my choice too).

This short was done as a promotion for Christian Louboutin's new boutique in Hollywood, naturally.

The insurgence of fashion/ film shorts that continue to pop up is truly DELIGHTFUL. Feel free to link me to any amazing ones I might have missed!

Me & Nicole, my sister-in-law to be in less than 3 weeks!

Matt needs to become a singer/songwriter so this can be the cover of his first EP.
Would you believe these lovely photos were captured on an iPhone? My dear friend, Alicia, took these using the HELGA application for iPhone this past weekend at the Poyzer wedding. I thought they looked so beautiful that I had to feature them here! (Just another reason for me to want an iPhone now).

D.I.Y. The Lady Gaga Look

Whether you love her or hate her, Lady Gaga sure got everyone talking with her raucous VMA performance & frequent costume changes at the award show this past weekend. You know I was ALL ABOUT that Rococo-inspired stage design for "Paparazzi"!

So, what better way to achieve the Gaga look than with a little "shoulder drama" from Brick My Lane?

This other one I had to throw in for fun!

Or maybe you do have a legitimate need for some lacy bunny ears in your life?
