Tim Curry as the Dodo! Kathy Bates as the Queen of Hearts! Andrew Lee Potts as the Mad Hatter! Colm Meaney as the King of Hearts! Harry Dean Stanton as the Caterpillar! Ugh, please don't totally suck.

omg mng!!

What is up, JCP? Raising your game. First Charlotte Ronson, then Olsenboye (launching this February), and now, JC Penney has announced that it will be carrying a diffusion line by Mango (appropriately titled MNG by Mango). The collection won't launch until next fall, but as a resident of the tragically Mango-less Twin Cities, I'm psyched at whatever I can get.

start saving now

Zac Posen is doing a line for Target! The collection will be in stores April 25-May 30.

korea, je t'aime

I love Korea. Like, love love. Although I've never actually been there, I feel like I go there all the time in movies and magazines. I adore K-Horror, I obsess over Korean fashion, and I've never met a plate of bulgogi that I didn't like. I know I shouldn't judge an entire people based on food, fashion and film, but let's be completely honest: If you're Korean, I probably love you. So it's no surprise that I'm a big fan of Vogue Girl Korea. I wish some of the magazine's joie de vivre would influence more teen media in the states.

Obviously, this isn't an exact copy, but when I saw the image on the front page of the Forever 21 site, the first thing that popped into my mind was this photograph.

pretty packaging
