Halloween Costumes 2011

Every year I am faced with the inevitable challenge of coming up with the perfect Halloween costume, ideally something unique and creative that sets me apart from the pack of zombies and sexy witches. I don’t buy costumes, I make my own. Sometimes I know a year in advance what I want to be, sometimes I dilly dally until it hits me. So what's a girl to do? My favorite place to look for inspiration is the runway. Shows always have tons of costume ideas. So I thought I’d put together an entry that will hopefully inspire others to also create their own, unique costumes.

"Who What Where" thought these were the top costume-ish looks from the FW 11 shows, I couldn't agree more.


What has inspired me in the past...

Anna Sui's - Pirate, I even made the hat!



Sofia Coppola's - Marie Antoinette.


What will I do this year? Stay tuned to find out!

Sketching

I've been practicing my sketching - a lot. I have a long way to go, but I really enjoyed working on these, and wanted to share them. Done in water color and pencils, having fun with wedding dresses.
