“Once Upon a Time” — A Fairy Tale Themed Baby Shoot

I’m not too keen on newborn/baby photo shoots (they mostly look the same to me and some of them can be downright creepy), but I’m all game when they’re super creative. (See: Kristin & Kayla, Mila’s Daydreams, and Baby Arthur.)

The latest series of baby photos to make its social media rounds has been that of photographer Wendi Riggens, whose fairy-tale themed shoot of 9-month-old Maddie has her placed in scenes and outfits from some of Disney’s most popular films. Take a look, and be ready to coo:

Sony RX100 Review [THE Best Point-and-Shoot!]

This past summer, the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100 was released and the web went on a media frenzy, practically all review sites declaring it to be the best compact point-and-shoot digital camera ever made.

In fact, Time Magazine even named the RX100 one of the 25 Best Inventions of the Year 2012!

Digital cameras have been getting smaller and more capable every year, but that trend took a huge leap forward in 2012 with the Sony RX100, which bridges the gap between point-and-shoots and pro-quality digital SLRs. Sony’s innovative design and 1-in. (2.5 cm) sensor allow the camera to take flawless photos even though it’s 20% slimmer than your average digital SLR—small enough to fit in your pocket.

Disney Princesses Meet Haute Couture

Sigh. You know I’m a sucker for holiday-themed store displays. I personally have not yet had a chance to check out the famed NYC displays in person this year, but I have been following them via the web, and — as it seems to be the case every holiday season — each store has outdone itself once again.

Now, I am not a fashionista by any means (and to be completely honest, Vogue bores me to tears), but I am aware that there exist numerous fashion meccas around the world, and that each major city boasts its own high-end department stores.

Today, let’s take a trip to Harrods in London.

This year, Harrods has decided to bring to its window displays popular Disney princesses adorned in beautiful dresses designed by some of best designers in the world. And in order to promote — and celebrate! — these collaborations, Harrods Magazine did a photo shoot with the gowns just before they made their way to the mannequins in the Harrods displays.

Check them out below — I seem to be partial to Mulan’s and Snow White’s dresses, while Aurora’s and Rapunzel’s are pieces I wouldn’t wear even if they gave them to me for free. How about you?

Fashion on the Big Screen: Guess the Films!

Would you be able to recognize famous movies just based on clothes and accessories? French magazine Sport & Style has put this to the test with an editorial spread titled La Mode en Grand Écran, or Fashion on the Big Screen. Each photograph, taken by Candice Milon, features neatly laid out ensembles from some of the world’s most beloved cult films.

Can you guess them all? (I had some trouble with the older films!)
