The $10 Challenge...

After talking with my Aunt (who has cruised over Halloween before) I found out that there a costume contest and people go like ALL out. Now, I LOOOVE Halloween and my whole life I've always had kick ass, cute, creative costumes. That either my grandma made for me or I made myself (I despise store bought costumes, they lack creativity and you know like 20 other girls are going to be wearing the same thing!)

All of this made me realize that I def need to step up my game and unfortch Rachel Zoe isn't going to cut it. I needed to think of a costume that wasn't only creative but was instantly recognizable with 90% of the population. After a lot of thought I've come up with 3 choices.

-Glinda from Wicked (the opening number "Bubble" dress)
-A Birthday cake
-A bunny coming out of a top hat

I also thought it would be fun to give myself a little challenge with this costume...I have to make it on a budget of $10 (well actually not really a budget but a range $10-$20). That is also how I'm going to pick which costume I'm going to wear--whichever one I can make for $10-$20 is what I'm going to be.

The only downside to this is I'm going to have to take less shoes to make room for my costume = (

I'll keep you all updated!!!!

DIY

So, my beloved Vera Pink Elephant wallet finally had to be retired (it was falling apart). But I just couldn't bear to part with it so I re-purposed it into a new headband!

I 'm sorry I didn't take pics during the process (next time I do a DIY I def will!!!)

Basically I took the wallet (which was a Travel Wallet in Pink Elephant by Vera Bradley) apart with a seam ripper and small scissors. Be careful when seam ripping though cause I broke my moms seam ripper during this process -lol-

After I had the fabric separated from the wallet base I took the lining (the pink fabric) and covered an old plastic headband with it. I used hot glue to adhere the fabric to the headband.

Finally I cut out the seeds and elephants from the outer fabric (this was the toughest part of the whole project!) and hot glued them on the headband.

That's it! It as super easy and took about an hour from beginning to end. I ended up having a lot of fabric let over, so I'm thinking of what else I can use it for = )

I Die..

So, this year Halloween (one of my fav holidays, I mean what girly girl doesn't love to dress up!) will be spend on the "Big Boat" (what my baby niece call the cruise ship). My whole fam and I will be setting sail to celebrate my sister saying "I do" in Key West.

This leaves me with a problem...what to be! After narrowing down choice I decided to be Rachel Zoe. This was the only one of my options that required the least amount of "extras" to be added to my limited packing space. (My daddy refuses to pay the extra bags fee!! He doesn't understand the my hair and make -up alone could fill one bag!! -lol-)

For me the only "extras" I need to acheive a Rachel look are a Fur vest and a Starbucks cup (thanks to us Americanizing the whole world I'll be able to get one when we dock in Mexico =p ) I already have fur vest (real and vintage thanks to my Grandma!) I can't wait to walk around acting like my fav stylist all day. It's going to be BA NA NAS!!!

Who are you going to channel this Halloween??
