Lolita Clutch

Moving right along with my Black Swan themed night, Natalie Portman looked really beautiful in her gothic themed ensemble for the premiere. But the capture of my eye is this adorable Lolita clutch bag! Is this not the most gorgeous literary themed purse? I would love the clutch to represent a different novel, although Nabokov is one of my favorite writers. Perhaps, a Jane Austen novel, or certainly On the Road by Jack Kerouac, Romeo and Juliet, or even dare I say...Twilight! I adore her ring as well!

The Only Way for The Spell To Be Broken, Is If A Man of Pure Heart Pledged His Love...

The costumes and cinematography of the movie Black Swan has to be some of the best of 2010! Darren Aronofsky never ceases to amaze me with his ability to turn reality into a surreal mind-binding universe that I'm intrigued to encounter but once there I'm not sure if I made the right choice. He's one filmmaker that inspires me to want to venture into the world of film. I love all of the possibilities and dreams he brings to life. Most of his movies are so obscure that they need a second, and perhaps, third watch. However, in the midst of obscurity, the films themselves are an art-form! I have yet to watch the movie, but I have been a bit mystified by the trailer! 

Ballet is one of the most beautiful expressions of dance in existence. There's something so gorgeous about pointe shoes, fluidity and ornate costumes. Yet, there is something haunting about the discipline one needs to employ to achieve the body and skill to balance your weight on your toes. The life of a ballerina seems a bit like a surreal fairy tale to me. I love the thought of incorporating little details from this world into fashion to give it a bit of a whimsical feel. Ballet flats, blouses,dresses or skirts with a bit of lace and tulle, a minature tiara, and perhaps (if you're daring) a masquerade mask and dramatic gothic makeup would be an ideal for an outfit inspired by Black Swan!

Have you seen the movie? What are your thoughts?
