DISNEY COMES TO LIFE | ART

If you know anything about me, you'll know that I love Disney. When I was younger, I always wanted to be a Disney princess, so much so that one time I tried to close a door just like Cinderella but managed to trap my fingers! Nice one Anna. 

One of  reasons Disney movies are so good is of course their staying power. Years later, I find myself still attached to these characters and I don't feel embarrassed to admit that, and I can happily watch the films and listen to the songs without cringing. (However, I refuse to watch Bambi, Dumbo and The Fox and the Hound ever again! *wipes tears from eyes*). Not only are the classic Disney films still great, but the company is still releasing entertaining films today such as Tangled and Frozen (Olaf is literally the best thing ever!).

And now it seems these characters from my youth have come to life - well, almost... Artist Jirka Väätäinen has created some beautiful photo manipulations of these animated royals, and one villain - Ursula haunted my dreams for a good few years - entitled Real Life Disney Girls.

BECOME A DISNEY PRINCESS? YES PLEASE! | FASHION FOCUS

I’m sure it is every little girl’s dream to become a Disney princess, and I’m not ashamed to say that at 18 years old, it is still one of mine. I only just came back from Paris last week, where my family and I revisited Disneyland and recreated photos from 1998.

Still being very much in the Disney spirit, I am very excited to hear that Disney and Harrods will auction off ten Princess-inspired dresses created by some of the world’s most famous fashion houses, including Oscar de la Renta, Versace and Elie Saab. The sale will take place in November at Christie’s, and will raise money for the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.
