Happy Halloween!
2010 October 26
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.
