Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! I love getting the chance to create a unique costume (I try to pick something very involved, crafty, and something hopefully no one else will think of). I chose a glittering Ke$ha Popstar costume! Though she is very popular, she isn’t a common costume like Gaga! And who … Read more
This Elton John costume is my favorite costume and it has a story attached to it. I decided to make an Elton John costume, it has 3 LED light packs in it, 2 in the jacket and one in the hat. I made everything myself from scratch, even the hat. I also enhanced a pair of boots … Read more
My boyfriend and I wanted to recreate the craziness of celebrity couple Katy Perry and Russell Brand couple costume (before their split!). Everyone knows Katy and her sexy cupcake bra from “California Girls” so I decided to go with that look. For cupcakes I used Styrofoam balls and shaped them so they would fit over … Read more
I thrifted most of the outfit for my son and found the rest in his closet. I picked out and curled his hair and added his guitar. Looking at old pictures of Jimmy it’s crazy how much my son looks like him. Jimmy came as a 5 year old.
So Halloween is NOT one of my favorite holidays at all. However, the way I get through it is to create very creative costumes. It’s my favorite. About a month or two ago, I started thinking of what I could do this year. (Last year I was Kate Middleton with a Prince William cardboard cutout, … Read more

I bought a shiny red orange David Bowie looking wig and the authentic vintage 70’s button up shirt from eBay I bought the polka dot scarf for only $2 at Goodwill. I … Read more
I just went to the mall, bought different pieces of clothing and jewelry from Forever21, and some stuff I already had. I put it together, and taaadaaa, you’ve got an 80’s Madonna. The funnest part was getting all dressed up, and doing my hair and makeup like her. Then of course going to a Halloween … Read more
So every year I try to come up with a unique costume idea. Rather than spending $30-$50 on a store bought costume, I try to think of things I either already had or could use after Halloween. After a visit to our local thrift store, going through my two year olds dresser drawers, my accessories … Read more
This is my daughter Alaina. Her absolute favorite recording artist is Katy Perry and so it was a “duh” moment when I knew she would want to dress as Miss Perry for Halloween. But… she wanted to be Katy Perry in her cupcake dress, specifically. So I made that happen. The skirt is styrofoam rings, … Read more
With me it was pretty simple, I found a great black dress and just dolled it up a little with ruffles and a flower and then went and gathered neon colored accessories. I even dyed my hair black so that I would be in full Katy attire. My husband wore a black button down with … Read more
I had a blast this Halloween, rocking the light up Jeopardy board on Friday night and this awesome boat Halloween costume on Saturday! I originally started with just the hat and jacket, and wanted to make it more awesome. I thought of the boat idea, which turned into light up boat, and finally adding Andy … Read more
This year I decided to be Katy Perry in the candy dress from the California Gurls music video! The entire costume took so many hours of work but in the end I was extremely happy with the results! Many of my friends think that it is really awesome and I’ve been getting a lot of … Read more
