Venture down a little street in Beverly Hills and find "The Witch's House". A cottage straight out of Hansel and Gretel nestled between far more modern homes. It almost feels like finding a portal to an alternate fairy tale dimension. A bit of magic mixed in with the ordinary.

Built in 1921 for use as a movie set, the house is described in architectural terms as "Storybook Style". The Witch's house has even been credited for inspiring some of Disneyland's design. In 1934 the cottage was moved to Beverly Hills where it started a new life as a residential home.

I stumbled upon this place purely on accident. Standing in front of the house it was as if I'd fallen through the rabbit hole and was transported to a world where witches and goblins and sprites were real. The perfect backdrop for a romantic white lace top and flowing skirt. I tend to prefer this top with cut-off jean shorts and flat boots, but having caught a glimpse of what Stone Cold Fox has in store for Spring, a billowy slightly flared sheer maxi-skirt seemed like a good pairing in homage.
