Fred Flare is a great little website. Granted, they offer an inordinate amount of hipster goods-- does one really need bacon scented band-aids?-- but they also have all the funky accessories and outfits a boy or girl could ask for. I tend to gravitate toward the accessories because I am not a huge fan of ordering clothing online, but alas, that is another topic for a separate entry.
Anyway, if you're looking for fun ways to liven up your wardrobe, Fred Flare may be the place for you to go. It's a little bit kitschy, a little bit juvenile, and a whole lot of fun. Below are some of my favorite things on the site right now. Please note, my birthday is in less than two weeks. Hem, hem.

Disney Couture "Drink Me" Necklace
(Now, I am the last girl to jump on the "OMG I LOVE DISNEY!!!" bandwagon, despite appearances considering my last entry referenced my intense love for a Belle costume and this one also contains Disney-related merchandise. There are a few things I like about this necklace. One, my love affair with vodka is hardly a secret and it's just plain funny. Two, the bottle is stoppered with a fabulous black bead that sets the whole thing off. Three, Alice in Wonderland is less so a princess success story as it is a tale of a girl who wondered down the wrong path and made some interesting choices. Oh, how I can identify...)
Alice Time Piece Watch Necklace
(There is something distinctly nostalgic about watch necklaces that gets me every time. I feel as though the watch necklace is the female equivalent to the watch fob. My mother inherited a wonderful watch necklace when my grandmother died a little over a year ago and I have subtly given many hints that I hope to receive it someday. Mom, if you're reading, make a note.)

Sheer Dottie Socks
(I would never wear these with satin "dye to match the dress" shoes, which is what this image seems to suggest... but I do love these socks. I'd likely get them in a light blue or soft pink and roll them down a bit. And just to be a brat, I'd wear them with sandals... because in my book, socks and sandals can be alright when they aren't Gold Toe cotton socks paired with Birkenstocks.)

Rose Tapestry Dress
(I love the neckline of this. I love the shape of the bodice. I love the slightly watercolored appearance of the flowers. To me, this dress screams hot summer day. Paired with chunky, charcoal gray sandals, a black, wide brim hat, and any of the Harry Potter books, I feel as though I could comfortably read the day away in style. I'd add a true red lip, though.)

Butterfly Effect Dress
(This totally reminds me of those Paint 'N Swirl toys that were popular in the '90s. I always wanted one! I don't love the shape of this dress, but that's mostly because it's not flattering for my figure. I'd add a tan, woven belt and a pair of rusty red, faux leather sandals to it.)
