Once Upon a Time at Alice + Olivia…

A few weeks back, on a chilly very-un-spring-like morning, I popped on over to Alice + Olivia to check out their fall collection. Since the first time I visited their showroom I’ve been wanting to go back to snap some photos so you could see just how magically playful and very Alice in Wonderland it feels! Between the stunning views, gorgeous light cascading in, elaborate chandeliers, spiral staircase, and hello ~ the clothes, what’s not to love? 

Alice + Olivia is one of those brands that will always hold a special place in my heart, plus the not-taking-fashion-too-seriously-vibe that A+O designer, Stacey Bendet exudes is refreshing and fun. The fall 2013 collection is actually described as ‘Fantasy Street Style’ ~ a free-spirited mix of both sophistication and whimsy!

In order to hold up my favorite skirt (which may have been close to my height) I had to climb up on this chair. After teetering a bit in my heels and a brief moment of panic (aka “I could face-plant”), we got the shot! This photo feels like something Stacey would approve of, or has most likely done herself.


I couldn’t get over this iPhone case, obviously a play on Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

The Stacey heel… so good right?
