Almost Alice

So Tim Burton's take on the classic tale Alice in Wonderland has hit cinemas and caused such a hype - and for good reason too! It's such an amazing movie, great in 3D but probably just as great in 2D also. I loved it's whackyness and the way it was twisted to be unique.
What I love about this movie is how it has a long chain of merchandise - from jewellery and clothing to the absolutely amazing "Almost Alice" soundtrack. It's a compilation of songs by the hottest artists (mostly alternative and rock) that are inspired by the movie. They're not actually songs from the movie, but inspired by. There's artists such as All Time Low, Owl City, Metro Station, Plain White T's and even Robert Smith, lead singer of The Cure. There is a song for everyone, from the electronic "The Technicolour Phase" by Owl City to the oddball track "The Lobster Quadrille" by Franz Ferdinand.
Here's the track listing:

1. “Alice (Underground)” performed by Avril Lavigne
2. “The Poison” performed by The All-American Rejects
3. “The Technicolor Phase” performed by Owl City
4. “Her Name Is Alice” performed by Shinedown
5. “Painting Flowers” performed by All Time Low
6. “Where’s My Angel” performed by Metro Station
7. “Strange” performed by Tokio Hotel and Kerli
8. “Follow Me Down” performed by 3OH!3 featuring Neon Hitch
9. “Very Good Advice” performed by Robert Smith
10. “In Transit” performed by Mark Hoppus with Pete Wentz
11. “Welcome to Mystery” performed by Plain White T’s
12. “Tea Party” performed by Kerli
13. “The Lobster Quadrille” performed by Franz Ferdinand
14. “Running Out of Time” performed by Motion City Soundtrack
15. “Fell Down a Hole” performed by Wolfmother
16. “White Rabbit” performed by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Almost AliceIf you saw Pete Wentz's name and expected a Fall Out Boy sounding track, you'd be disappointed. It sound nothing like Fall Out Boy, but is a great song nonetheless. Avril has chosen a different direction for her song on this CD, with a more mellow sounding track, similar to her song on the Eragon Soundtrack. Metro Station, Wolfmother, 30H3!, All Time Low and Plain White T's fans will not be disappointed, the artists have delivered fantastic tracks that live up to the standards of their own albums. The All American Rejects have also done a slower, more ballad-like track, unlike their other hit songs such as "Gives You Hell" and "Dirty Little Secret".

All in all, a great album, definitely worth the money!

Rose Tyler

I am such a big fan of Doctor Who, and I love some of the things that Rose wears, especially the oufit she wears in Tooth and Claw.
She wears some really unique outfits, things out of the norm.
 I have a denim playsuit, it's not a skirt but rather shorts, but it still looks pretty close to this one. I found this picture of a crown on the net and printed it out onto iron on paper. I got a plain pink tshirt from Supre and ironed it on. Add some tights and boots and you've got yourself an instant Rose Tyler outfit!

I also love Rose's outfit from Turn Left, The Stolen Earth and Journey's End. The cargo pants with the purple shirt and the Leather Jacket work really well together!

I write sins not tragedies


I love Panic! at the Disco, especially their first album, and I love the film clip for I Write Sins Not Tragedies. It inspired this Polyvore set that I made today. Check it out!

Polyvore is such a great site for putting together compositions of clothes, and it's great if you want to create your own individual style :) It's a site that's definitely worth a look.
