Happy Children In Need Day! I’m actually being quite nice and joining in even though I am in France, by donating all money I receive from Ad Packages from 15th-17th November to the charity! Please donate! If you have been living under a rock though, you may not know that the 2nd film in the Hunger Games series, ‘Catching Fire’ is coming out in cinemas in the next 10 days, which triggered a thought in my mind of showing you a few things I found which were inspired by the new film.
Silver Floral Crown//Skirt//Dress//Shoes//Blouse//Hairpiece//Crazy Colour//Mockingjay Pin
I almost missed the chance to watch The Hunger Games. It was the end of the school term and my sister told me it was on and I thought it was a sort of ‘Transformers’ sort of ‘Star Trek’ film, but I went ahead and watch it… then bought all 3 books… and I am now obsessed. When I saw the posters for the new Catching Fire film on MTV, I knew I had to do something with them. My two favourite characters are Katniss & Effie. If you haven’t watched the films – you need to – then you may not know but the costumes are quite amazing. When Katniss is not fighting for her life, her costumes are stunning (literally), and with Effie, well, just WOW. Her costumes are always so unique, colourful and over the top, they are just amazing. Trish Summerville better have done a good job for the 2nd movie!. *rephrase* She has done an amazing job, just take a look here!
I absolutely LOVE Katniss’ main show stopper, which I have popped down below… it’s full of ruffles, tulle and lace, plus some really nice intricate pieces (the inspiration for popping the floral crown on there!). It is absolutely stunning, and I reckon some wedding dresses will be inspired by that once the film is released! The cherry red pieces, and hair dye are inspired by Effie’s main show stopper – again, below – which is quite similar with the ruffles, tulle and lace, but a bit more bold, and I love how it has been put together with the bangles and chunky jewellery. Oh Effie, you really do make me want to dye my hair pastel pink!
I am now very tempted to buy the fake Mockingjay Pin and just wear a pink wig everywhere, but I am not really sure that I could pull it off as well as the cast do it? What do you think? Are you as excited as I am for the Hunger Games and the costumes?!
