burton




dress (altered) - store in Indonesia ; detachable collar - vintage via etsy ; tights - Cotton On sale; boots - Target

After days of postponing, I finally got the chance to see the Tim Burton Exhibition at ACMI! I went a couple of days ago, and it was worth waiting in the long queue (which always seems to be there!). It was as fascinating, dark, inspiring, crazy, and creative as I expected it to be. No photography was allowed inside, so these were just a few of the decor outside. If you're in Melbourne, I would certainly recommend checking out the exhibition at least once before it ends in October.

    Your outfit is adorable, love the color combination!
    I was able to see the Tim Burton exhibit in NYC, I wish I had be able to see it a few more times though before it ended. There was so much fantastic work on display!

    It sounds like an amazing exhibition. Too bad that I'm not in Australia...

    I think you look smashing with that pink dress matched with those blue tights. Quirky and pretty, pretty, pretty at the same time :)

    I was always a huge Tim Burton fan, but recently... not so much. I still admire him as a filmmaker. He is still a huge inspiration, but my love for him isn't as intense as it used to be... oh sad. When I was in London 2007, I went to the Tim Burton seminar and I waited in line for 9 hours to get the ticket. He was such a nice guy, everyone was captivated by him. Oh I miss those days. Looks like you had fun and I love your outfit!

    What fun! I'm glad you got to go to this, Anna. I just saw a little blurb today about it on the Frankie blog.

    Your outfit is very Burton exhibition appropriate :)

    I am dying to go to this exhibition! Hopefully I will get the chance to see it before it ends as I don't actually live anywhere near Melbourne...

    The lace detail on the neckline of your pink dress is like the icing on top of a delicious cake :)

    I never knew about a Tim Burton exhibition. He's been making such iconic films with a definite look and style for so long now that he truly deserves the exhibit.
