Technically Harley Quinn‘s costume is entirely black and red. HOWEVER, there are TONS of different versions of her look and variations of her outfit. This particular outfit that I’ve recreated is from the Batman video game released June 2015 called Arkham Knight. I decided to go with red and blue additions to the black and …
Just as I was beginning to wonder what Disney princess costume to DIY this Halloween, Adore Me reached out and asked if I’d like to create a costume around one of their bras or corsets. UM, YES PLEASE! Of course my first thought was Ariel/The Little Mermaid, but since it’s been done so many times …
Fall and pastels don’t usually go arm in arm but Studio DIY and Balloon Time have turned a typical baby shower palette on its head by incorporating fun fall elements–like pastel pumpkins and colorful candy apples and it’s just the cutest thing ever! And since I’m not the best at party planning {an unfortunate truth} …
Last year when I worked for Babble, they asked if I was interested in creating beauty looks for Halloween based on any of the Disney Princesses. OF COURSE, I was, because, how fun! And since I used to write for both beauty and style, and love a good DIY, I was able to leverage a …
When I was desperately searching every thrift shop in my area for an Elsa-esque dress and coming up empty handed, I finally drove down to Crestline {just 15 mins away} because I remembered a little dress shop I had passed a few times while antiquing there but had never stopped to check it out. It’s …
I’m excited to announce that the super awesome & free to download Glam Style App has not only featured a few of my fun Halloween DIYs and costumes but also used my Modern Cinderella Costume as their main page for their Haute Halloween October edition! SO FUN!! Below are screen caps from the Glam Style …
Inspired a little by these Snake Ankle Strap Sandals and a little more by these Alligator T-strap Sandals both by Giuseppe Zanotti and both over $1500 for the pair, I though why not make my own DIY Snake Sandals and see how they compare? I originally was going to use the black sandals as in …
Nowadays, Disney‘s Tinker Bell is both sweet and sassy. But the early Tinker Bell wasn’t so sweet; in fact, she was a jealous little thing! I’ve taken a little inspiration from both the original Tink and some of the newer interpretations for this DIY Tinker Bell costume, as well as her hair and makeup. If …
I had such high hopes of getting at least two Disney costumes in a month up until Halloween, but have only been able to do one each. They’re my favorite, and super fun, but very time consuming! I am still in love with my DIY Merida from Brave Costume and my Cinderella Costume | Modern …
In Wes Anderson’s film, The Royal Tenenbaums, Gwyneth Paltrow plays Margot Tenenbaum, an adopted literary genius, who’s in love with her brother, never smiles, smokes like a chimney, and has an overall lack of care for life. She is my favorite character Gwyneth Paltrow has ever played, and she’s one of the easiest last minute …
Halloween is coming and writing for Babble has got me thinking in all things Disney so I’ve kind of started this Disney character costume series that I have to admit is SO MUCH FUN! My last in the series, and first ever, was Cinderella, remember? If not, go to Modern Day Cinderella Costume which links …
I know, I know, everyone and their mother has done a DIY cat ears project and tutorial, but none like this {maybe?} lol. I searched for a leather pair a little bit like this cat ear headband by Fleet Ilya {$518} but less like Bat Girl or Cat Woman {though they would work for those …
Totally inspired by a kid’s Fall fashion editorial {see more here: Little Punks! Cute Fall Looks for Kids it’s the last photo} who had faux feather mohawks adorning their heads, I got busy thinking about how I could replicate the look and how on earth I could get it to stand upright on my head …
As you may know, I write for Babble’s beauty and style channels twice a week and as you may also know, Babble is a Disney owned company. A few months ago, one of my editors emailed out this post Sexy Cecaelia: Get Ursula’s Over-The-Top Under-The-Sea Look from XOVain as a fun suggestion and I was …
It’s true I’ve been dressing up as Disney characters since I was an infant due to my mom’s deep admiration of the “Mouse”, but before they were labeled “princesses” I wanted to be every one of Disney’s leading ladies, and of them all, Cinderella was my favorite. I guess I just have a soft spot …
