I Want Candy

With Halloween just around the corner, I began remembering Marie Antoinette and all the sugar coated scenes. This has to be one of my favorite scenes in the movie. The costumes, cake, music - its just PERFECT! Makes you feel like you just went on a shopping spree while eating 234,5643,767 desserts, right?

Also, theres lots of inspiration for costumes...

I can't believe Halloween is already near - 4 days! I love Halloween (but I pretty much love every holiday - any excuse to have a party). In my 18 years, I've been a: pumpkin, clown, Ariel, bumble bee, Belle, Jasmine, cheerleader (?), fairy, cat, Ginger Spice (Geri), witch, vampire, butterfly, futuristic person, hippie, cowgirl, and a skeleton. I'm undecided about what I should be this year, but I'm thinking maybe a flapper or some celeb, not that creative, I know. I'll post what I end up being, if its worthy lol. What are y'all going to be?

Barbie Would Do This:

Crazy idea stolen from the Teen Vogue October issue:

Put a Crest on Your Breast! (a DIY)

(awful, perverted title - I know)

So, I'm sure its the 203710701734th time you've seen and heard about the Balenciaga FW0708 collection, you have to admit - its freakin' GORGEOUS! I am in love with the crested blazers and don't exactly have 5000 dollars to spend on it, so I decided to kind of make my own! I went to Jo-anns and picked out royal crest iron on's (and surprisingly, they had a lot to chose from). Instead of ironing them to a blazer (I got one from Issac Mizirahi @ Target), I decided to make them into pins, in case if the crest doesn't go with what I'm wearing.

Just take the crests, trace unto card stock and cut a little under the lines, and glue with E6000 (best glue EVER). Let dry, then glue on a flat backed pin and TaDa!

pin onto your blazer (or whatever you want) like so:
