Halloween is my favorite time of year! I love to get creative with costumes and really wow everyone. Making your own costume makes you unique and not look like the typical “party city” costume.

I am a true Halloween junkie. I spend months deciding what costume to make and what events to attend. No matter who or what I decide to be for Halloween, the costume is always “pretty.” I refuse to be scary or gory or funny. I prefer to be glittery and fabulous and as pretty as … Read more
My boyfriend and I met on the Disney College Program so we wanted to be something Disney related but nothing too cheesy. The bra top was made by just buying a cheap bra from Ross ($3.99) and some shells, beads and glitter from Jo Ann’s (About $10). I lined the bra with glitter and then … Read more

Growing up Ariel, the Little Mermaid, was by far my favorite Disney princess. I remember dressing up as her for at least four halloweens in a row. Since I’m now eighteen, trick or treating and all that fun is kind of out of the question, unless I take my little sisters around. But just because … Read more

I needed a costume: I’m thrifty and creative. Hmmm, I always thought a mermaid would be cool to be. This was my first attempt at making/sewing something without a pattern…where and HOW do I start?!
