Can't wait for season 6 in less than two weeks!

costumes: pushing daisies (the world of chuck)

If I could raid any fictional character's closet it just might have to be Charlotte Charles aka Chuck.  She's everyone's favorite dead girl.  I love her brightly colored retro inspired wardrobe.  My favorite outfits are the ones she wears to the morgue in which she usually goes undercover with a dramatic scarf or a big hat and sunglasses.  I was trying to decide what my favorite look of hers was and I just couldn't pick one.  Maybe that gorgeous green full skirted dress with the line of silver sparkle down the front from the Halloween episode, or it could be her quirky geometric shaped tunic she wear over leggings.  I also adore the yellow vintage coat and dress combo she wears with a vintage scarf and yellow sunglasses.  (looking over these again I just decided, it's the peach full skirt dress with peter pan collar and pintucked details with her crocheted 3/4 sleeve cardigan.)   Ned must have a big closet! (if you click on these you can see them larger.)

 

television interiors: pushing daisies - outings

These are some of my favorite sets they built for when they leave The Pie Hole and go out with Emerson to investigate.  My favorite has the be the rival candy/taffy emporium run my the always hilarious Molly Shannon.

 

 

 

television interiors: pushing daisies - homes

So we've toured The Pie Hole, now let's check out where our main characters call home (or in Emerson's case, his office).  Chuck kind of floats around to all three of these places, but wouldn't it be fantastic to see what her solo apartment would look like?  We got a little preview when she temporarily moved into Olive's place while she was away at the nunnery.  Who could forget her wall of books?!  Tomorrow we will visit some of my favorite locations.
