Is it possible to create wearable style from a movie like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? I think so.

I was inspired to put together a handful of looks with hints of Willy Wonka to them. It was fun to reminisce about my favorite scenes from this classic movie and draw from the costumes and scenery.

If you had to style a look based on a classic movie, which movie would you choose and how would you put together your look?

Custom Invitations – “You Are Invited to the Club…”

Back in September I was commissioned to make custom invitations for a party my friend Stephanie was throwing.  The party theme was “Playboy Pajama Party” and the invites I created were made to reflect that theme.

For the front I cut-out a vintage Playboy Club bunny’s silhouette from black cardstock paper flecked with lots of glittering silver specks.  A black linen border was added for an added accent.  I decorated the back of the invitation with Playboy bunny ears and a Hugh Hefner-esque pipe made from the same shimmery black cardstock.

You can see photos of my handiwork below.  I hope you like the invitations!

I wish I had some event photos to show you as well, but alas, the party was canceled.  Boo!

 

 

 

 

All invitations in the set were hand-made, hand-cut, and hand-glued.  The event details were printed onto the invitations using an inkjet printer.  Normally I would write the details by hand, but in this case the paper was a little too thick for me to transfer the chosen font (via dafont.com)

For more information you can see my previous post regarding these custom invitations here and here.  You can see the original Etsy listing here.

And please contact me via missjilliandesigns{at}gmail{dot}com or via my Etsy shop using the “contact” option in the left-hand column if you are interested in commissioning custom invitations for your own event.
