Last minute Halloween Costume Ideas

i finally found my halloween costume
an "innocent" (ya right) girlscout
however i did almost fall victim to 
a major halloween malfunction
of not knowing what to wear

for those of you less fortunate
and who would like to travel the road, less expensive here are some fab ideas
all thanks to "LC"



Halloween DIY: Cat Burglar Costume
Topshop Cat Ears ($8), Costume Specialties Cat Tail ($3), Free People Opaque Tights in Black ($12), American Apparel Bodysuit in Black ($32), Brian Atwood Alexa Booties, PaperMoon Small Burlap Bag ($9)
Wear a black bodysuit (American Apparel has a great selection), black tights, a black bandit mask, fierce heels, a pair of kitty ears and a pin-on tail. Instead of carrying a purse, use a burlap sack and draw a “$” on it. Finish off your look by drawing a little cat nose and whiskers on your face… and voila, you are a Cat Burglar!

Halloween DIY: The Last Minute Costume
Putting together this costume is easy as pie. Borrow a men’s dress shirt from one of the boys in your life, slip on a pair of old school scrunch socks and a fresh pair of men’s briefs (bike shorts are great too) and finish off the look with Tom Cruise’s unmistakable Risky Business wayfarer shades. Put your hair up into a ballerina bun or a ponytail and keep your makeup natural. Most importantly, practice your slide!
 
 
both ideas found here

good luck my fellow ghosts and goblins!

trees are the bees knees

i love mother nature
i love trees especially 
considering they are in their most beautiful stage this time of year
here's to the ultimate plants
who keep our planet alive
which in turn keeps us alive
and able to breath clean

hair tip of the day
