TV/Movie Inspired Fashion Event

Glee - Gossip Girl - New Girl - Once Upon a Time

Are y'all ready for the first blog event of 2013? Well, I hope you are because come March 3rd through the 9th Bramblewood Fashion is hosting the first ever, TV/Movie Inspired Fashion Blog Event! It is going to be so much fun!!  

Of course you are wondering, how is this event going to work? What movies & TV shows will be used for the event? What if I have never seen them? I'm glad you asked. For each day of the week there will be a set theme for your outfits, you will then take pictures of your outfit and post them on your blog. Once your post is live you will then link-up your post to the link-y on my blog each day. It is alright if you have never seen any of shows/movies I suggest for your outfit inspiration, as some of my suggestions for outfit ideas will be from shows I've never seen myself -- I just like to get outfit inspiration from them.

What You Need to Know

When is the event? -- March 3rd through the 9th (Sunday - Saturday). 

What is the event about? -- Creating modest outfits by using movies & TV shows as our inspiration. This is a great way to practice taking inspiration from outfits you normally wouldn't wear (for what ever reason) and adapting them to your modesty standers & style. 

How can I participate? -- By taking pictures/video of your outfits and linking them up {your blog post/OOTD video} on Bramblewood Fashion via the daily linky that will be shared in post for the week.

Are there any rules? -- Yes, I do have one rule. Keep the outfits modest. If I find an outfit to be suggestive, I have the right to remove that link from the linky. You can wear pants/shorts/jeans/etc... just make sure they aren't skin tight or too short.

How does the blog schedule work? -- Well, for each day of the week their is a set theme, you can then pick out any movie/TV show that fits within the theme for your inspired outfit.

Y'all can help spread the news about the event by sharing a blog event button on your sidebar/web/blog/etc... All of the buttons are located here. I am open to hosting a few giveaways, so if you want to sponsor one drop me a email at: bramblewoodf (at) gmail (dot) com

Warby Parker Hayworth Collection

Edgeworth in English Oak

Today Warby Parker released their limited-edition Hayworth Collection which takes its inspiration from the 1940s & 1950s Old Hollywood -- letting everyone channel their inner: William Holden, Barbara Stanwyck, James Cagney and Dick Powell. Each frame is topped off with vintage touches rendered in their signature custom acetate and premium Japanese titanium. It's a new twist on Old Hollywood.

Neville in Sugar Maple -- My favorite!

Who Inspires Me (Fashion Wise) | Lauren Conrad

Are y'all ready for another post in my Who Inspires Me (Fashion Wise) series? 'Cause I haven't done one since December -- which isn't that bad considering I once went a whole year, or so without doing one. Well, this time I'm talking about Lauren Conrad whose style I just adore -- plus her hair & makeup is always flawless too. I haven't even mentioned yet how I love both her Style & Beauty books too, which are filled with wonderful tips that I have used on a daily basis. I have also created a Pinterest board for LC.

 This first look would be fairly easy for me to recreate with my ASOS pleated skirt, a black top + blazer. The second look is just adorable with LC wearing a vintage 1920s dress. ♥

 The first look is perfect for either fall or winter as it is so simple yet chic! While the second look is perfect for that warmer wear during the spring & summer.

I'm in love with Lauren's hot pink dress. ♥

I fell head-over-heels in love with this outfit LC posted on her Instagram. ♥

Alright, I know where Lauren's blouse is from in the first picture. How? Well, I almost bought this blouse at Kohl's (it is from LC's line there) last fall on clearance -- but I didn't {and now I'm wishing I did}. The second outfit is very relaxed, yet stylish with her bootcut(?) jeans, a simple tee, and gauzy scarf {I have one just like hers from F21}.

What do you think of Lauren's style? What is your favorite outfit of her's?

Random Updates

Alright, as you might have noticed -- I haven't done any posts in February when I said I was going to do a Valentines Day series and all. Well, I have a reason for my absence -- I came down with an awful sore throat & cold on Tuesday (hence, keeping me from doing any blogging or filming any videos). You see, I want this series to be done with videos mostly, but with me sounding & feeling awful that wasn't happening this past week. Hmm...maybe I will be able to squeeze in a few videos next week! *fingers crossed I get better fast* Anyhow, I was able to film, edit, and upload one video before I got sick. It is a nail art tutorial on how to get cute little hearts on your nails -- you can watch the DIY video below.

Also last night I was going through my photo booth videos & deleting the files I no longer needed when I realized, I had never edited & uploaded my Library Book Sale haul video from last month. So guess what? I did that last night/early this morning. Yeah, finally!!



 I don't know about you, but I've been craving warmer weather like crazy lately. Except, I would like to skip the allergy season part that is always really bad for me the first month or so {that part I'm not craving}. Anyhow....with all my spring fever/summer blues I've created a Pinterest board & some Polyvore sets to help me with my warmer weather cravings -- though I kinda think it just makes it worse.
