I've been rereading "The Looks Book" which is designed to help you appreciate your body (although frankly some of the pro-fat, anti-skinny comments annoy me) and figure out what your personal style is. i adore the Ice Queen, Gamine, and Bohemian, but I think the one that suits me even more than those ones is the Faerie Princess- loose waves, ethereal beauty, corset vests, Victorian boots, circlets, pale dewy makeup, and of course, the POINTY EARS!
Some of my new style icons and inspirations:
 |
| Cate Blanchett as Galadriel in LOTR |
 |
| Michelle Pfeiffer as Ladyhawke (LOVE that she doesn't have the stereotypically long locks, cropped and pixie instead!) |
 |
| The bohemian fairy rocker Stevie Nicks |
 |
| Ethereally beautiful Tori Amos as the Ingenue, a makeup style based off many a Botticelli painting in Kevyn Aucoin's Making Faces |
 |
| Tori Amos on a snail. Because what says magical being more than a chiffon-drenched redhead on a snail in a gorgeous forest? |
 |
| Queen Susan (Anna Popplewell) and Queen Lucy (Georgie Henley) in The Chronicles of Narnia. |
 |
| Robin Wright as Buttercup in The Princess Bride |
 |
| Taylor Swift, with her flowing golden curls and girlish love of long sparkly gowns and fairy tales, is a true Fairy Princess. |
 |
| Exotic singer Leona Lewis is fairly modern and edgy, but she's always very romantic looking. |
This is a great look because it's so modest! (Unless you go as "sexy" Princess Aurora or something, in which case, you're doing it wrawng.) So basically, Faerie Princesses just need lace, antique jewelry, shimmery light makeup, loose waves and curls (or short, feathery hair if you love Isabeau's unusual look), and just look as if you'd stepped out of a fairy tale or Botticelli painting.
