Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland hits cinemas in the UK this week and while the jury’s out as to whether the film provides any substance beneath its indulgently pretty facade, the fashion world is revelling in the gloriously girly spectacle. After all, who needs substance when you can have beautiful nonsense?
Last week saw Selfridges team up with Disney to display five shop-windows full of Alice-inspired pieces by designers such as Tom Binns, Stella McCartney, Alice Temperley and Anna Lou of London.
But if your budget won't stretch quite that far, the web is full of equally adorable pieces with more affordable price tags.
Here are a few of my favourite finds.
Clothes
An iconic image of Alice in her traditional dress, this tee would be perfect teamed with skinny jeans for a more casual take on the trend.
£24.99 from truffleshuffle.com
The playsuit is set to be a s/s essential for yet another year and this one has so much going for it. But where would you wear it you ask? Shh, details, details…
$65.00 from The Luna Girls' Etsy shop
Totally over-the-top and unashamedly girly, this prom dress makes no excuses for itself: A great dress-up piece.
£25 from boohoo.com
Jewellery
An Alice charm necklace that has everything: the hat, the teapot, the clock, the dodo. Wear with a vintage ditsy print tea dress for a cute, eclectic look.
£12 from www.rocknretro.bigcartel.com
The Wonderland look needn’t all be about uber-girly get-ups – add rock chick edge to an LBD with this tough but pretty bow cuff.

Another design directly inspired by the dreamy novel, this White Rabbit charm bracelet is a wear-with-anything piece.

Hair
You can’t perfect the Alice look without an Alice band – there’s a clue in the name. For a quirky take on the trend, make like Lady Gaga with this black hair-piece band.

Polka dots, bow detail, netting, this clip has all the right ingredients for the ‘Alice goes to prom’ look. Well, sometimes a tea party just isn’t enough…

Shoes
£74.99 by rubbersole.co.uk
Alice lives in her black Mary Janes. For a more grown-up take on the look, try these black Ted Baker patent heels.
Kids
Spade print makes for a nice alternative to this season’s heart-fest and these shoes are just adorable. If they made them for adults they’d make the best slippers.

This Disney Vintage Kit dress takes an original Alice sketch, mixes with this season’s pastel shades and ties it all up, quite literally, with a bow.
