Hollywood Halloween

Happy October! 

Halloween is just around the corner, so today I'm sharing 10 easy DIY costumes based on 5 leading ladies. First up, the dame who snoozes in style and dines with diamonds, Miss Holly Golightly from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Character Costumes

Today we take on seven different fictional characters that will make fabulous diy costumes for halloween.

First up the one, the only, Carrie Bradshaw

If you choose Carrie Costume number one, wear your hair curly and wild like she did in the opening credits, but if you opt for the second choice try a top knot and write "Manolo Blahnik" on any shopping bag and piling on the pearls! 

 You might also like a costume based on a book from your childhood: Eloise at the Plaza and Miss Madeline.

Oh, the Irony

It's the last week of october, can you believe it!? So that means halloween is finally here! I have been bringing you easy DIY costumes all month long (check them out here), but wanted to end with some easy irony costumes that you can probably create from closet pieces. 

Dust off your prom dress, a gown you may own or put together a tuxedo look with a blazer and tuxedo pants to make a "formal apology" costume. For your final accessory, just hold a card or sign that says "I'm sorry".

 Mix black and white stripes with feathered accessories to be the cutest little Jail Bird halloween ever did see. Use black winged make up and even try feathered lashes to finish the look.

If you have cold feet, become a runaway bride with a white corset and jogging shorts or a white dress and tennies! Take your look up a notch with sweat bands or a work out ipod armband. 

Operation Occupation: These may lack irony, but I wanted to share three more easy occupation inspired costumes, one of which I actually got to wear at a recent halloween party

Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego? This was my favorite computer game as a kid can make an awesome costume! Or turn it into a couple costume and have your boy go as where's waldo!

Get progressive and channel the one and only Flo for an easy look. All white, a blue headband, converse, red lipstick and buttons paired with a diy progressive apron will make a quick costume!

Ballerina for a day: When Paris and I went to a church halloween party with my friend Taylor, I had to come up with a costume and quick! So I found it only fitting that I come as a ballerina, since I grew up dancing with Taylor at her mom's studio in Arizona. Tulle skirts are a flirty trend that so many people have in their closet, if you don't already own one this might be a good excuse to pick one up .... you wont regret it! Pair the tulle skirt with simple ballet flats, a tucked in top to resemble a leotard and a top knot and you're ready to dance your way into any halloween party. 

Costume Craze

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and it's quickly approaching! But I am so over bland off the rack costumes, they're uncomfortable, over-priced and unoriginal! So I like to create fashionable diy costumes made from wearable pieces you may already have in your closet! Today's post features a fierce female feline hero and a elegantly evil super villain. 

My Halloween fixation started earlier then I anticipated this year when I received my first costume request: Poison Ivy. I was Poison Ivy in high school one year, I paired an emerald velvet leotard and matching skirt from a dance costume with red fishnets and red pumps. I finished the look with red lipstick and pining fake foliage to my dress.

So incase you feel like going green this halloween, here are five ways to get the look! I suggest adding fake foliage or even some real leafs to your outfit, by pinning a few in your hair, wearing some as a broach or attaching a few sporadically on your outfit.   

boo, ah!

Marketing Monday: Catwoman Couture

Don't judge me, but I've totally joined the bat-wagon...

 After seeing the newest batman movie, the dark knight rises, I am totally obsessed with all things cat woman. Therefore had to dedicated this marketing monday to this pretty kitty & purrrfect outfits.

I like Anne Hathaway as a person and an actress, she is cool & confident with a style all her own, but I was skeptical when I heard she was to play this fabulous feline. Although I was not completely blown away by her portrayal, I was rather impressed and pleasantly surprised.
