Book Cover Outfits with Paper Faerie Pt 1


This is a collaboration with my good friend from high school Vanessa who started her own Booktube channel called Paper Faerie. To get me back in the swing of things for these posts, asked her to choose a few books. The List is big so I decided to divide it into several posts. I hope to do this with other Booktubers, and more books. If you're interested in this please let me know in the comments.

Gracekeepers book cover outfit


For this outfit I was inspired the cover in  general and I really wanted to play off of it. I thought a constellation necklace would suit it best

Vanessa reason she chose this cover and response to outfit: 
"I like this cover because it feels so whimsical and cozy. This outfit captures that. I love the cozy boots paired with the magic of the read dress. And of course the necklace is perfect."

The Diviners Book Cover Outfit

The Diviners Book Cover Outfit by nerdybirdiegirl featuring a white flower necklace

I decided a twenties look, because why not? The story takes place in the twenties itself. My favorite part to the outfit is the shoes.

 Vanessa reason she chose this cover and response to outfit: 
"I chose this cover because I love the dark and superstitious feel it has, and I think a 20's outfit is perfect."

I really like working on this. I hope to work with other book lovers on this. 

And I will also explain the mess happening around the blog.

Game of Thrones Based Outfits Part 1



      It has been a long time coming to do something like this. I have been working on what outfits and who want to do outfits based on so for this week I chose Daenerys Targaryen and Sansa Stark. 

Daenerys Targaryen
Dany based outfit 1

Long dress / But Another Innocent Tale strap sandals / Filigree jewelry / Bohemian jewelry

I love the colors of this outfit. I was amazed when I could find anything close the outfit. What do you think?

Dany based outfit 2



Belted top / Belted top / Black pants / Ankle boots

I had to include Dany's hairstyle with this one. I might not have matched the colors to the top but I came close. I still love the combination of this outfit.


 Sansa Stark
Sansa outfit 1



Purple maxi dress / Heels & pumps / Yellow gold necklace

For this outfit I was surprised to find a dress in a similar colored dress. It matches really well with Sansa's dress. I tried my best to replicate as much of the look as possible, even if the insect on the necklace is not right. 

 
Sansa outfit 2



Little black dress / Black pumps

I went more of a LBD with this outfit. Instead of a tight hairstyle I went with something a bit loose but it still ties it together. 

I really want to more....So please leave me suggestions on what outfits to base outfits on the next post. Who should I do next?

Book Cover Outfits is back on Mondays!
     It's been a while since did these outfits and I'm still looking for suggestions. If you have any suggests on book covers to turn into outfits.Here are the books I have done outfits for so far.
      I'm always looking for more book covers. Here are the ones for this week.


Ticker based outfit


 I though this was a beautiful cover. I couldn't help but combine modern with a Victorian era twist. The book is written in a steampunk world. I love the dress and the fact that it matches so well with the cover of the book.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane



Short dress / Chelsea Crew peep toe pumps / Melie Bianco blue handbag / Bohemian jewelry

I thought it would be good to play with different shades of blue for this cover. The cover for this book is utterly stunning and leaves a lot to the imagination. 


The Mime Order



Going out dress / Buckle shoes / Gold chevron ring / Charm jewelry
 
The Mime Order is the second book in the The Bone Season Series, and for the Bone Season Outfit I made this one more dressed up. 


Please Comment on and Suggestions for covers! I'm always looking for anything I haven't done yet.

Tv based outfits: Penny Dreadful

As way to give a break book covers and to also find new ones. I though I would  do a couple on my favorite characters from Penny Dreadful.
Vanessa Ives
Vanessa Ives based outfit



Black maxi dress / Astoria black bridal shoes / Beaded gemstone jewelry

Vanessa Ives played by Eva Green is such an amazing character. She struggles with her inner self and her demons that she still seems so mysterious as a character. I can't wait to see what happens to her next season!

Ethan Chandler
Ethan Chandler based outfit 



White ruffle top / Vest waistcoat / High waisted black pants / Lace up shoes / The Cambridge Satchel Company red leather satchel

Ethan Chandler is just a mysterious as Vanessa Ives. I had a theory about him at the beginning of the season about him at the end it turns out I was correct! If you haven't seen the show I'm not going to spoil anything. you'll have to see it yourself.

Book Cover outfits: Mediator Series Haunted and Twilight

Here we are, at the end of the mediator series for the book cover outfits. I truly love this series, it was one of my favorite high school reads.


Haunted cover outfit



Look From London a line dress / Mary jane shoes / Infinity scarve
  
I  know that it is currently summer and why would I make a choice of a scarf? These outfits are created for any time of the year. Not by the season. I thought a scarf worked because it a small detail. 


Twilight cover outfit



Beige cotton dress / Wedge heel shoes / Orange jewelry

This is more of a summer outfit. Who wouldn't want to wear an outfit that could make you breathe for a bit in the hot summer weather. 


If you have any suggestions on what covers to work on next please comment!

Book Cover Outfits: Mediator Series Reuntion and Darkest Hour

Continuing with Meg Cabot Mediator Series.This week I have Reunion and Darkest Hour. Two more left to go!



Reunion Cover outfit



Short lace dress / Electric blue shoes / Crossbody shoulder bag

It was hard  to match close to it that, but I think I came close enough. I like they all  go good with each other. Showing a personality that fits it.



Darkest Hour Cover outfit



Green shirt / Daytrip red jeans / Military boots

For this I chose to fit the personality of the main character of the series of the book.  She is a bit of a girly girl but also has a boyish flair. 


________________________________________________________________________________________

In other news, I hope to have few pages of last girl of Gallifrey up next Monday. I'm working hard on it, since I'm doing this project myself. I'm working on the main cover. And hope to have that up at least Friday.  So keep a eye out.

Book Cover Outfits: Mediator series Shadowland and Ninth Key

I thought I would try something different and would try to create outfits from on of favorite series that I read as a teenager. The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. Today I have first two, Shadowland and Ninth Key.


Shadowland


       It was hard choosing the perfect outfit for this one. I didn't want something but I also did. I tried to get colors as close as I could.





Ninth Key cover outfit



Embellished top / Short blazer / Pocket pants / But Another Innocent Tale vintage style shoes / Vintage black handbag

I did sold colors for this because, you don't always need a design something put well together.  I think it also reflects the cover itself just a little bit.

I will continue more outfits based on the mediator series, stay tuned for next week!

Book Cover Outfits: Landry Park and The Beautiful and the Cursed

Landry Park cover outfit



Black fit and flare cocktail dress / Navy blue pumps

I went with the elegence that this book describes of having. It is described as a futuristic Downton Abbey.  I could have gone with a longer dress, but I love this lacey dress.

The Beautiful and the Cursed cover outfit



Shirts top / Star blazer / High waisted flare skirt / Metallic wedge shoes

Though the color my look the same as the last one, I wanted to try something different. It has been a while since I did a multiple pieced out fit.

Book Cover Outfits:Upon the Dull Earth and Son

The Dull earth cover outfit


     Not many people may know of his work, but of the decades people have seen movies made from his stories. Phillip K. Dick could be known as the world's most famous Science Fiction writer, with movies such as Total Recall (We Can Remember It For You Wholesale), Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Minority Report and many more. If you get the chance to read his stories.
     The Cover of this out is something that I defiantly was one I wanted to work on. The shoes summed up all the colors of the cover more than anything in the outfit. 

Son cover outfit



Pink prom dress / Plus size tight / Vegan shoes / Black handbag

I loved this book but also a sad ending to the Giver Series. Still going with the theme like giver of something simple, but like the stories it has more character to it.  The detail on the dress shows detail especially as the character Jonas grows through out the stories. 

If you have any suggestions to Book Cover Outfits, I encourage it!

Book Cover Outfits: Alienated and Carnival of Souls

Alienated cover outfit



Short a line dress / Vintage style shoes / The Cambridge Satchel Company orange leather handbag

I love the colors.It was hard to choose colors for this one. I went with tone of the spacey sky from the top with the splash of  yellow from the flowers on the bottom.


Carnival of Souls Cover outfit



Evening top / Mustard yellow pleated skirt / Retro shoes / Black handbag

I couldn't help create a flame tone this outfit. I love orange and this is a soft  and not a screaming bright tone. I went with booties instead heels or flats because I though it would be cuter.

TV show outfits: Reign and Agents of SHIELD

I thought I would do a special post because this week we have season finales all week long. I thought I would do outfits on my two favorite shows.


Style of a queen



BB Dakota white dress / Wedding shoes / Statement necklace / Eugenia Kim hair accessory

I have said before on how much I love this show. And I will say it again. I Love this show. It was hard to find the perfect dress based around Reign that was more towards the style of the show rather than the time. I love the clothes of the era.  I was excited to find one of the crowns and ring Queen Mary wears in the show. Who wouldn't love dress as queen?


 
new agent



Embellished top / Jack bb dakota jacket / Short boots / Locket pendant

Not a people are a fan of Agents of SHIELD. I could not get enough of this show. Though it may have had it's ups and downs. I still couldn't help tuning just to see what would happen to Coulson. I based this outfit on Skye. I think she is a character that is to figure out who she is, but knows what she likes to wear.

Happy Monday! I have had a busy weekend. I have been so exhausted this weekend due to a tea that I worked and it is the last official week of school before finals.I'm going to be a little slow. So brace yourselves this week.
Water for Elephants cover outfit



Black top / Red sports jacket / High rise black jeans / Flower print boots / Peacock necklace / Customer Image Gallery for Water for Elephants: A Novel

I love this book. I love the movie as well. But the book is my favorite. I couldn't help but create an outfit based on a ring master, but also give it fashion flare. I would totally love to wear this outfit.


Glow Cover outfit



Lace bridesmaid dress / Flower print pumps / Rhinestone purse / Ornamental Things glass pendant

I thought this would be a interesting one to choose because it has colors that are cosmic, but are shocking and bright. Ok maybe the shoes are.

Bizenghast vol 8 cover outfit



Print dress / Print tight / But Another Innocent Tale bootie boots / Bib statement necklace / Dome ring / Gold hair accessory

Bizenghast is my favorite American published manga. Unfortunately I have only five volumes out of eight. I have always loved all the covers of this series. I have been friends  with M. Alice LeGrow but I have yet to officially meet her in person. We met through deviantart  I was so excited. I dis some edaniel fanart that she is a fan of. Edaniel Pop-art, edaniel poem card.

Book Cover Outfits: The Giver and The Map of Time


The Giver cover based outfit

The Giver cover based outfit by nerdybirdiegirl featuring
Slate in the Day Top /Welcomed Return Pants/ /Follow the Arrow Flat in Taupe/ Cambridge Satchel Upwardly Mobile Satchel in Oxblood - 15 inch/ Twisting Tree Necklace
   The Giver is one of my favorite stories. I really wanted to make the outfit for this one. I knew the outfit was going to be very simplistic and gray. But doesn't mean I don't have to make it cute!


The Map of Time cover outfit

This one was a tough to create into a modern day outfit. Since I takes place in Victorian London, there is so much I could choose. I chose a lacy dress because it keep the elegance of the Victorian era, but also the modern. As for the accessories, I went for more of a steampunk style. The shoes, I had a difficult choice of, I want to do a Victorian boot but I went an Edwardian "gibson" shoe  from American Duchess. The shoes I wish I had money for as give tours. I really want these but they are not in my size.



I'm starting to love these posts. I love creating the outfits based on book covers. Some I have read so for some I have not.

Book Cover Outfits: Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy and The Illustrated Man

So I have been setting up several weeks worth of these post of outfit ideas based off of book covers. Here is my take on a few Sci-fi Classics.
the Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy cover outfit


The Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy is the easiest that I have done so far. I used the same dress that I would wear if my blog was out. I mean who wouldn't choose a galaxy dress for this? And DON'T PANIC! as the necklace is so awesome!




the Illustrated man cover based outfit

Long jacket / Grey tight / Red strap pumps

This book is defiantly one of my favorites. A red dress would probably been ideal, but I wanted to find a tattoo themed dress. Because it the Illustrated Man why shouldn't it be a tattoo themed dress? This dress I thought was cute. I chose a lion necklace because of the first story in the book "the Vedt".  The red pumps work pretty well for the background of the book.
