Linklettes

This week has been challenging over here at casa de Bubble. Little sleep due to 2 teeth desperately in need of root canals hasn't lead to the most creative thoughts, but hopefully this week's linklettes do not disappoint!


- Pre-Order Your FAT Necklace from Definatalie!


- PS. I Made This Spikes a Trench
Those spikes are made with spray painted CHOPSTICKS. This money saving spike adornment has got my mind on over drive.

- This Can't End Well's "I'll Let You Watch"


- Daphne Guinness's Absurd Shoes
Absurd is a good thing.


- YFF's Closet Series: Danielle of Stylista
This is such a fun series and I'm totally interested in sharing my own closet!


- Big Girl Barbie Tumblr
I run a tumblr that features the creme de la creme of big girl fashionistas (in my opinion) and I just figured how to accept submissions/questions. My chubblettes are some of the fiercest and I'd love to get some gorgeous pictures to include!

I've always loved Barbie. She's controversial, for sure, but her myriad of clothing options and her undeniable glamour kept me coming back for more. After digging through countless images for inspiration for my upcoming collection for Domino Dollhouse, I couldn't help but revive my own love for the classic doll.

And thus: I give you my style inspiration for Spring 2011...BIG GIRL BARBIE!!




Prints/Color Scheme: Leopard Print, Bright Pink, Lips, Bright Rose prints, black/white checkered prints, polka dots, Red, Turquoise



Style Icons (Real Life Barbies): Traci Lords in Crybaby and Amanda Lepore




Clothing/Lingerie: cardigans, 50's party dresses, pencil skirts, colorful printed bras, fishnets, bold dots, full skirts, fitted bustier tops


Shoes: wedges, vintage heels, ballet flats


Accessories: pearl necklaces, cat eye glasses, wrist gloves, patent belts, clutch purses


Make Up/Hair: red lips, winged eyeliner, matte skin, hot rollers, pony tails, major bang curlage

I also started a Big Girl Barbie Tumblr, dedicated to showing the best and most fabulous dolls (in my humble opinion) out there.

How do you feel about this concept? I love the idea of taking a character that some say is supposed to make me feel bad about my body and turning it into something celebratory.
