Halloween 2009: Celeb Costumes

3 November, 2009 Nelia

After a brief case of the “mondays” I am back to normal posting schedule! Yay!

Since babies are so in right now (just ask Bruno), lots of celeb parents were out this past weekend trick-or-treating with their little ones. And surprisingly, my fave Halloweened out celebrity this year was not Heidi Klum, but Gwen Stefani dressed as Jessie from Toy Story! I also loved her last year’s cat costume. I think it’s truly a testament of Gwen’s beauty…she can pull off virtually any look and still stay gorgeous. My other faves this year included Ellen as Oprah Magazine, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo as Frankenstein and his bride, and Jimmy Fallon as Robert Pattinson. Also, though I really don’t want to promote this toxic duo, Twit and Twat’s portrayal of Jon and Kate plus Hate was quite funny and scary at the same time. Maybe celebrity impersonation is what Spencer Pratt and his plastic wife should stick to? Just a thought.

Halloween 2009: Scariest Jewelry of All Time!

30 October, 2009 Nelia

scary-fashion-taxidermied-jewelry

Okay, so who here likes taxidermied animals? What about the said animals as jewelry? Sounds insane? Well, someone actually thought that it’s a good idea, and people are actually buying it too! Mice on bowties, guinea pig on a comb, and rats on a headband…the Vermin Collection by Reid Peppard sounds morbidly horrific. I mean, really, who wants dead rats on their head? Not me! Though I do hope that the animals are not killed with this specific purpose, and either way it’s not something I’d ever be caught dead in! Thoughts?

Halloween 2009: Ghosts of Halloween Past

30 October, 2009 Nelia

So tomorrow is the big day! Halloween is finally upon us! So many costumes to choose from, so little time left! I have to admit that for a few years now, I’ve been putting my “costumes” together at the very last minute from whatever is hanging in my closet. Like last year, I wore a “ballerina” dress from H&M to the office and a purple Zara leotard, coupled with leggings and my mom’s ankle weights to be an aerobics instructor at a party, and the year before that I was Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in an LBD with some knit arm warmers (I know, I know…that was the only thing I had that resembled long gloves). I also wore a Hawaii-girl outfit for a few years in a row (grass skirt, tube top, flower in hair and some leis). So my point is, even if you aren’t really into Halloween, chances are you might be into dressing up! So dig into your closet, and put together something creative this weekend. There are so many easy costumes out there: Gossip Girl (tweed skirt, headband), Mia Wallace (white blouse, black bobbed wig), Jackie O…or Michelle O for that matter (classy LBD, and some shades), Carrie Bradshaw (tutu, curly hair, and sky-high heels), Ugly Betty (retainer and something vintage/colorful/ill-fitting)…Options are endless! Here’s a little peek into my Costumes of Halloween Past.

Ok, so this was worn on a regular office day. But you could do so many things with these lips: Angelina Jolie, Octomom, Alexander McQueen model?

Hmm, you could also walk around with a painting in front of your face, or wear a Dollar Store nose!

This is from last year’s Halloween at the office. Tessa did her scary make up herself! When she walked through the door in the morning, it was fantastically scary!

Jo-the pirate-ess! Arrrrrr!

Here is moi as a way-too-perky aerobics instructor, SunYee as the Scream guy, and le boyfriend as Chupacabra-the luchador, with a towel-cape.

This was…my attempt to decorate the office for Halloween, using recycled materials. Mr. Hueso is sitting in my former boss’ chair!

So this is not a Halloween photo, but if you have 2 BFFs, and a handsome guy-friend, you could be Charlie’s Angels! Kick-ass posing – mandatory.

Mmmm, candy! Happy Halloween, everyone!!!

Friday Faux Pas: Noah Cyrus’ Parents

30 October, 2009 Nelia

cyrus

Ugh…This girl is 9 years old and is already pimped out by her parents to look like a hooker-witch? What’s wrong with this picture? I didn’t start wearing make up until I was at least 17. And sure as hell, my mother didn’t let me wear pounds of lipstick and eye make up when I was a child. Noah Cyrus is a child, a child that is being brought up by parents that see no problems with their daughter wearing this outfit for Halloween, while her 16-year old sister is grinding against a stripper pole on TV. Family values much?

Halloween 2009: Marc Jacobs and Bergdorf Windows

28 October, 2009 Nelia

Most of us had come to expect festive holiday displays in various retailers’ windows come Christmas. Well, perhaps because of the scary economy, or just for fun, some stores decked their windows out in something other than “boughs of holly” and brought us these awesome Halloween displays! Whether it’s swampy in NYC, or abstract in San Francisco, Marc Jacobs didn’t lack the creativity and tried to perhaps bring some of the window shoppers into his stores instead. Although to be perfectly honest, I really don’t know whether I would be brave enough to venture into a toxic zombie waste swamp to shop for clothes. Eeek! I do, however, loooove the cow window! It’s got a perfect pop of color and is weird enough to catch my attention as I walk down the street! Wish I was in San Fran to witness it firsthand!

Bergdorf’s windows are also quite stunning, showing various fairy tales with a technological twist. Princess and the PC, anyone? Not as fun as MJ, but visually captivating all the same. So what do you guys think? Do these windows scare you away, or make you want to shop till you drop?
