Happy Halloween!
October 26, 2010
Halloween is one of my favorite days of the year – it is an excuse to be a character.. to dress up.. in whatever you want.. and live out childhood fantasies!
This year make Halloween about being fashionable and fabulous.. you don’t have to buy a tacky costume.. just use your own clothes to create characters. What would they wear if they were stylish girls living in your city out on the town for a night of socializing and dancing till dawn?
I am thinking…Jem.. Tinkerbell..or Olive Oil. Happy Halloween!

Oh, I love the costume for Olive Oil! But honestly I would totally wear that outfit, Halloween or not! You could do version of the “Carrie Bun” at the nape of you neck and it would be perfect! I used your tutorial for the “carrie bun” this weekend for a wedding. LOVE IT!
love this! just what i needed…i still do not have a costume!
Oh man, I LOVE Jem!!! Those accessories are absolutely PERFECT!
IT’s a shame Ottawa Fashion Week is falling on Halloween! It’s interfering with costume time! But I’m sure I’ll have a blast anyway…
I had the same thought! Haha! I picked Eve, Robin Hood and Bat Girl…

I looove the Olive Oil! And the “Carrie Bun” would be an oh so chic touch. Perfection!
Great post! I vote Tinkerbell. It’s a darling look.
I totally agree with you on the tacky costume front. Last year I put together a gothic lolita costume by layering pinned skirts & adding a ruffled shirt and velvet riding coat. I got so many compliments asking if I had rented my costume. The only $$$ I spent was on some lace gloves.
LOVE the olive oil look! so sweet!
Olive Oil is sooo cute!
We did a Peter Pan theme last year, I made the Tinkerbell and Peter Pan costumes, it was so much fun!
LOL! i’m going to be jem!! it’s been a PAIN getting the pieces together (wig, pink dress, pink tights…) but the DIY part has been a blast-made her earrings and belt/sash-the makeup will also be fun to do!
olive oil is genus. nice work. i agree on using your own clothes for a costume with maybe a few added “accessories.” but i love your take on if they were the stylish girls out on the town. what a perspective change. thanks!
*genius* what a fab word to misspell! duh.
I love Jem!
Haha I totally had a hot pink Jem lunchbox that I used through all of grade school, love the flashback!
Jem is the greatest! Awesome idea!
this is so great! i love the olive oil outfit, super cute. this year i’m going to be a cat (how original) but i decided to dress it up with a cutie black belted dress from H&M and of course heels with tights!
Who makes the shoes for the Olive Oil look?
They are Tory Burch.. I am dying for them.. aren’t they amazing?
Oh! Thank you! Now all I have to do is find a version I can afford!
OH MAN I HATTTTE to say it because I was teased and called Olive when I was a kid but I love the Olive Oil one the best haha.
did you watch The Office last night? Pam was Olive! and Jim was Popeye, so cute. Made me think of this post 🙂
No I didn’t.. I was at the Shop. Style. Shoot event, but now I have to catch it on Hulu.
