Costume Director: Part 8

Some of us little squirrels love the royals! Specifically Kate and Prince Harry! But Prince Harry is another story.

Anyways, dressing up as Kate Middleton is an awfully easy last minute costume to do. All you need is a long sleeve v-neck navy dress, which I saw last week at H&M and I had to resist not to buy it. And some black heels, I think black flats would also work.

The next part is the ring! Now I am sure you can find these EVERYWHERE. I have seen lookalikes every where, JC Penney, Forever 21, Kohls, and even AVON. And something tells me they might even have them at the 99 cents store.

Now the next part is optional, you can also wear a princess crown if you want to stand out a bit more and make who you are more noticeable.

And even better if you get your own Prince William!

I personally love this outfit. I have never been much of the person who dresses up for Halloween to school because I think it is such a hassle, but if I was back in high school, I would totally do this! Plus, you get to keep the dress and add it to your wardrobe!


By the way, this expression of this girls face is adorable. That would totally be Nichole and I....

Jovie from Elf.

What?! Wrong holiday? I don't think so.  One of my favorite new shows from fall TV is New Girl.  I love Zooey Deschanel!  My favorite role of her's?! Gah! That's a toughie, but I really like Elf.  And I'm hoping you can reuse this for Christmas if you're looking for a part time job at the mall.

Pretty self explanatory.

Make me proud! Tootles.

The Smoke Monster/Carbon Footprint

 I am fully aware that Lost ended, I'm not that hopeless, but the show has been on my mind lately, perhaps it's the whole Matthew Fox punching scandal or the-- who am I kidding?! It's the punching scandal!!

If you're not a Lost fan then this costume really isn't for you, but if you're feeling pretentious you can tell everyone that you're dressed as their carbon footprint!

1. You will need black underthings, pants, tights, dresses, shirts, whatever you got.

2. You will need lots and lots of black cotton balls, or anything you can make look like smoke should do, but cotton balls should do. 

3. On second thought, I suggest you go to a thrift store and pick out a black Halloween gown that was once for a witch or something because...

4. You will need to spray paint the cotton balls black, and glue them to the ensemble.

Eventually, you will have a smoke monster!  Or a carbon footprint!  And you are set for the night!

Make someone proud! Tootles.

I'm so sick of this Pride and Prejudice and Zombies casting news, or the lack of it.  Please, find Elizabeth Bennet!  Until then, please feel free to recreate her for Halloween this year.

First off, you'll need a darling floor length dress, no gowns unless you're gonna commit to the hair!  For your ensemble I recommend you try the thrift store or the clearance section of the summer dresses.

 Next, either make yourself over "zombie style" like the cover or walk with a bunch of zombies at your side and make sure you're holding a sword.

Bonus points if you're joined by Mr. Darcy and quote the book all night!
Make me proud! Tootles.

Olive Hoover from Little Miss Sunshine!  I've always wanted to see someone rock this, but I don't think that I live in the right community.

I think we all know what happens next.

You can pick from a variety of outfits, but a main ingredient is red.  Red hot shorts, red shirts, ties, etc. There's also the option of pink hot shorts and denim bermudas.  And alas there's the epic outfit: which you really have to watch the video above to understand why it's epic, but the photo below it is a teaser.

Make me proud.  Tootles.

A Macintosh Apple!  Steve Jobs just died and what better way to honor the co-founder of Macintosh than dress as the logo of one of his greatest gifts?!

I don't have an actual picture of a costume because I don't think it exists.  Advice you can buy the plain costume and cut out your bite or DIY.  I recommend DIY, so here's what you do:
1) Cut out 2 pieces of fabric in the shape of a bitten apple, bonus points if you go for the original Macintosh colors, whatever works for you is fine.  Oh, and I shouldn't have to say it, but I will, make sure that you are gonna fit into it when this project is done!
2) Sew the pieces together, leaving holes for your head, legs, and right arm (your left arm will go through the bitten piece).
3) Attach a leaf shaped piece of fabric. Make sure it sticks out in the same direction of your bitten portion.
4) Put it on, and rock your Halloween night away!

Make Steve Jobs proud! Tootles.
