SIX SPIRITED HALLOWEEN DIYS

Pumpkin Party Cooler via Martha Stewart

 

Get your claws on some old fashioned bottled soda, hollow out some pumpkin guts and get the party started with this adorable and remarkably easy DIY! You could also fill it with small liquor bottles. Yeah, I said it.

 

 

RHINESTONE BLOOD TOP via Pinterest

This would be so much fun to DIY! Get together some red food coloring / clothing dye and a few packets of red sequins. This would look great with zombie or skeleton makeup. Classic and ghoulish! { I think this might be from an earlier Alexander McQueen collection - but I'm not sure. If you know, leave a comment? }

 

 

LACE WRAPPED CANDLES via Country Living

I love multi-seasonal ideas, and this one is perfect. Use black lace for Halloween or try red or gold for Christmas! Then of course there's always Valentines Day, but I'll try not to get too ahead of myself.

 

Matte Black Pumpkin via Sweet Paul Mag

Black matte paint is my favorite. On everything. Nails, decorations, lipstick, shoes. You name it. The only thing better than a black pumpkin, is a matte black pumpkin. You could take this a few steps further and paint on some chevron stripes, your home's address number, or add some glitter for an extra glamorous touch.

 

 

 

 

VAMPIRE LIPS SWEATER via Sprikles In Spring

How cute is this? Another all-season goody. You can wear this all fall! Hell. I'm pretty confident in saying that you could wear this 'sucker' {haha} right into Valentine's Day. Nothing says love like something sucking the life out of you, right?

 

 

 

 

Poor Lost Soul Makeup via Pinterest

I thought this makeup was so neat. It's really simple, creative and easy to embellish to add your own flair. Try a floral headcrown, a lace head wrap or some hardcore statement jewelry. Limitless options, kids. I couldn't find the source - so once again, if you know - leave a comment below! 

SIX QUICK HALLOWEEN COSTUMES FOR GIRLS ON THE GO

FRIDA KAHLO

How easy would this be? Skip your monthly wax and grow out that uni, or create your own using an eyebrow pencil. Bust out that summery flower headpiece one last time, and then accessorize with big, bold baubles and bright blush! 

CARRIE BRADSHAW 

Oh, the many stages of Carrie. You can be pre-Mr. Big Carrie, Wild and free Carrie, or Married Carrie! How about Aidan Carrie. That Carrie was my favorite Carrie. This whole Paragraph now contains eight 'Carries'. Those circa 1990's Minolos that you've been waiting for an excuse to actually wear - well this is it. Don't forget that signature gold "Carrie" name tag necklace. NINE! 

SUGAR SKULL

If your Hallo-week has you floating around to twenty different parties, "makeup costumes" are the perfect way to go. It doesn't require much to put together or a lot of $$ - it only requires you to have patience & a steady hand.  You can get a few ideas for designs from Google Images or check out Pinterest! 

BJORK // SWAN DRESS 

So. Much. Fun. I found an easy / cute / creative DIY over at Syl and Sam of this exact dress. If you've got some time to spare before Halloween and a sewing machine, give this costume a whirl. 

ZOMBIE / SKELETON GIRL

You can get a pretty good idea of what you need / how to create this look with these two easy to follow instructional videos via Youtube: HERE & HERE. I'll be in NYC for Halloween and need to save room in my suitcase for what really matters. Clothes. 

This is also another cheapie costume - which leaves me $$ to spend on MORE clothes. 

MEDUSA 

Sultry and sensational. I love the unlimited possibilities in this costume. Be as creative or minimal with the idea as you want! If you're feeling lazy, you can always just glue some snakes to a headband, right? Or how about this amazing snake skin textured lip tutorial?
