The mod look, favored by beatniks, on occasion Deborah Harry, as well as fashion icon Twiggy, was also reinventing itself. It seems like the early mod crowd's penchant for berets has been an inspiration for NYC hipsters the past 10 years. It's interesting to compare the two actually, since mod sprung from London's youth as a rebellion against stuffy British customs and a new leaning towards all things 'cool, smart, and neat.' Sounds sorta familiar doesn't it? Not to mention all the Vespas you see zipping around Manhattan as of late.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimfdbSzKIYd3eng5V9IHvF-kX5eJ3WnD-pi5LsV06CVU2Bzam_wVoNms8fny3qEwAx4x-mlnrIIPVK36KMlDBUC78YEHdrfgjC2nFCxjGfrMjbFSeP2-ZXYL49JrTfu30RFWbFdN-nuXM/s1600-h/Debbie+Harry.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 327px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimfdbSzKIYd3eng5V9IHvF-kX5eJ3WnD-pi5LsV06CVU2Bzam_wVoNms8fny3qEwAx4x-mlnrIIPVK36KMlDBUC78YEHdrfgjC2nFCxjGfrMjbFSeP2-ZXYL49JrTfu30RFWbFdN-nuXM/s800/Debbie+Harry.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399616641252378818" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNvO47XFEHLx68-v8qkBxJZCXeODBeSUY47QyIQLjVquNVsccloDQGUzylh0_Q8xoOMinSNDr_lczXR-_kBbNOXwRarA0QvE-YalpgE5FQo2BbCkonUy3PuBQx8AanicPKUHT5MdeOn5M/s1600-h/debbie+harry1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 232px; height: 327px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNvO47XFEHLx68-v8qkBxJZCXeODBeSUY47QyIQLjVquNVsccloDQGUzylh0_Q8xoOMinSNDr_lczXR-_kBbNOXwRarA0QvE-YalpgE5FQo2BbCkonUy3PuBQx8AanicPKUHT5MdeOn5M/s800/debbie+harry1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399616650646962482" border="0" /></a><br />Personally I am a big fan of mod, the flat shoes are a blessing, the cute scarves and berets affect my soft spot for French stereotypes. I am, however, a much bigger fan of Debbie Harry's personal style. She has a face and the cheekbones not many people are lucky enough to be born with. Her style that is simple but not boring and just a bit funky. Her signature eye makeup and red lips are something I replicate only if there is a special occasion, but really I just want to wear it everyday. Maybe I will more often.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwtZj8VK802WRA8hWz3WlykrIGxSJW-qf5DimSfIMPZ9TLaGeWQkOKBEMBV6pxUEaSxWZCbzQoyHXFkeiX1agUUS-ZBkUVRH1k7KG8RK-oxd8JaEveLV_cEb3UTcLZd6Kfc-KjmBrDzG0/s1600-h/Debbie+Harry+black+and+white.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 367px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwtZj8VK802WRA8hWz3WlykrIGxSJW-qf5DimSfIMPZ9TLaGeWQkOKBEMBV6pxUEaSxWZCbzQoyHXFkeiX1agUUS-ZBkUVRH1k7KG8RK-oxd8JaEveLV_cEb3UTcLZd6Kfc-KjmBrDzG0/s800/Debbie+Harry+black+and+white.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399619742598789202" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiibNX9zDLrYX5LXMEvA54GrzVLOzgE6ouwxbetduIFcn6lrUJZ9VLjQMN1TbYaFqnQFxUaLy38xSM0dSnb19_dOvKmnwx_oUKAUbQPiBNwziBtdxU-PG8SWP-9djmxkzc9qZ_Amj-pmc/s1600-h/Debbie+Harry+wearing+popeye.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 366px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiibNX9zDLrYX5LXMEvA54GrzVLOzgE6ouwxbetduIFcn6lrUJZ9VLjQMN1TbYaFqnQFxUaLy38xSM0dSnb19_dOvKmnwx_oUKAUbQPiBNwziBtdxU-PG8SWP-9djmxkzc9qZ_Amj-pmc/s800/Debbie+Harry+wearing+popeye.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399619750214967602" border="0" /></a><br />This year for Halloween I took advantage of my new platinum blond wig and I dressed up on two occasions as pop icon Debbie Harry and later more recent pop icon Lady Gaga. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because it allows you to be creative, but most of all, live out your fantasies of being whatever. In my case, I guess I have some latent desire to be a pop star. Well I can at least aspire to dress like one.Elenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790001888961631762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031532264060758090.post-27917646168549071122009-10-30T11:09:00.008-04:002009-10-30T11:47:13.129-04:00Homemade Halloween Costume Ideas - Charlie ChaplinCharlie Chaplin was one of the most famous silent film actors of all time. Dressing up as this icon is a fun costume idea and chances are you won't find many duplicates at your Halloween parties. It is easy to do if you have the right components. Men can use a regular black suit. Women wanting to pull off this look could use a tuxedo jacket from her wardrobe and pair it over some straight leg black pants.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlm4ZxEgeKVvQsCw6COMkiqf5HG1wWmvMXRvOYiQXOfynzO0Cxw8YuLePJkrYoKnfkXFkextjwtFzguJy1DIPq1XELWJGVtVGWN3OgNOxPH9LMQW0tTFLm0vLo_ZkYNX6sqAnYipB-8P8/s1600-h/Halloween+Costume+Charlie+Chaplin+2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 245px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlm4ZxEgeKVvQsCw6COMkiqf5HG1wWmvMXRvOYiQXOfynzO0Cxw8YuLePJkrYoKnfkXFkextjwtFzguJy1DIPq1XELWJGVtVGWN3OgNOxPH9LMQW0tTFLm0vLo_ZkYNX6sqAnYipB-8P8/s800/Halloween+Costume+Charlie+Chaplin+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398411114516298946" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiVHGll6EQxYyUpVjZ12dlGTcr1A1Bf2zGzcXxRg3_YmHtAOCtcz_qfrZwhBMpXxxsI977gb3ruX4YSoUXswn27QaUcxK4JIobkJHI2-IAyheN_4xGkiKmBk30-nxwahmlEUxm_exbsm4/s1600-h/Halloween+Costume+Charlie+Chaplin+2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 198px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiVHGll6EQxYyUpVjZ12dlGTcr1A1Bf2zGzcXxRg3_YmHtAOCtcz_qfrZwhBMpXxxsI977gb3ruX4YSoUXswn27QaUcxK4JIobkJHI2-IAyheN_4xGkiKmBk30-nxwahmlEUxm_exbsm4/s800/Halloween+Costume+Charlie+Chaplin+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398417785241111426" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What you need</span><br />Bowler Hat<br />Cane<br />Tailored jacket and trousers<br />White button down shirt<br />Black or grey vest<br />Neutral tie<br />Male dress shoes or loafers or oxford for ladies<br /><br />Tie your jacket with only one button in the middle of your chest.

All you need is some light powder to create a pale face and dark hues to create his brows, mustache, and eyes. Firstly start off with a clean face. Use a brush to apply the powder throughout. The paler the better. Next apply the gray shadow, or if you have brow makeup, to your brows to create a full eyebrow. Apply gently and working your way with more. The brows are strong and dark so if you want to be more bold use some black eyeliner. When you are finished with the brow you can move onto the mustache. Chaplin's mustache is not very wide, but it is dark. Use the gray shadow to create a base and then go over with some mascara and liner to make it fuller. The last step is your eyes. Line them heavily with a black pencil. They key is to apply liner all around the eye.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hair</span><br />Charlie Chaplin had dark, disheveled hair hidden underneath his bowler hat. Men don't need to do much, but women bold enough to dress like a man, tie your hair into a loose ponytail and hide it under your hat. Secure loose ends with bobby pins to make sure your hair stays in place.Elenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790001888961631762noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031532264060758090.post-24201490922041448302009-10-29T16:21:00.013-04:002009-10-29T21:06:13.392-04:00Homemade Halloween Costume Ideas - Wonder WomanWonder Woman is a very popular costume on Halloween, mostly because powerful, superheroes are slim pickins for us ladies.

This will be the most difficult to pull off. You can buy gold fabric and cut out a deep v design to place along your chest. Again you can use fabric tape. You will need a sturdy plastic like fabric which may be a bit harder to find. Of course since this is last minute you have other easier alternatives. Gold foil or lightweight poster paper can be found at a dollar or craft store. Cut out the v and make a belt that connects to your chest piece.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIm4f5zCypG4u2LXYwHMvD37FJKfTChXM3NsIfsQ3kE1C5d4D17SSoyX1boISDiw8Cq5L5c6Puarbg2yZ0CYp9XtjHFRTLlH8Hoyb5PDpl786xrjgudd3NI3FY0rIkQtFZS6y1w-Kv1xQ/s1600-h/Gold+Cardboard.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 104px; height: 104px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIm4f5zCypG4u2LXYwHMvD37FJKfTChXM3NsIfsQ3kE1C5d4D17SSoyX1boISDiw8Cq5L5c6Puarbg2yZ0CYp9XtjHFRTLlH8Hoyb5PDpl786xrjgudd3NI3FY0rIkQtFZS6y1w-Kv1xQ/s800/Gold+Cardboard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398151377029921698" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiowWZBMFqNQmlNZGJQbFhNx-nGWbh_NL0qtkQ5oVDQdcFpwQY2T_MhAge2iba1S-RWWoC21WyIm4LzL22-Rv4aHwCK5LHgPRa1h72fHcnqWqXiERXZabBXIESGbQnEpxC8gg0noDZPy08/s1600-h/Gold+Foil.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 97px; height: 97px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiowWZBMFqNQmlNZGJQbFhNx-nGWbh_NL0qtkQ5oVDQdcFpwQY2T_MhAge2iba1S-RWWoC21WyIm4LzL22-Rv4aHwCK5LHgPRa1h72fHcnqWqXiERXZabBXIESGbQnEpxC8gg0noDZPy08/s800/Gold+Foil.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398151380711968178" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Accessories</span><br />You can use this paper for the Wonder Woman <span style="font-weight: bold;">cuffs</span> on each hand. The harder poster paper is the perfect material to make the <span style="font-weight: bold;">crown</span> since it is bendable but sturdy. Cut out a long rectangle that points at the top. Afterward affix a red star in the middle. The tricky part is how to keep this band on your head. If you find an elastic band, you can paste the elastic to both sides of the crown in order to make sure it stays secure on your head.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Boots</span><br />If you have a pair of red boots lying around than you are lucky indeed, but if you are like me red boots aren't really your thing. Of course this shouldn't prevent you from being Wonder Woman, you just need to think outside the box. Try using red stockings or knee high socks. Pull the socks over over ballet flats so you aren't walking around completely barefoot.<br />Use the extra felt you have left over from the white stars in order to make the stripes on the boot. Cut out two long white stripes with a point at the top. These will go on the front part of your boots all the way down to the toes. The pointed part of the white felt should be at the top. Next cut out two smaller pieces of white felt long enough to fit around your calf.

I was actually thinking of not dressing up (blasphemy I know). But the morning before my school's Halloween costume contest I decided to go as Frida Kahlo. I had an hour to get ready. After digging though my closet, I was able to put together my costume and my impromptu ensemble ended up winning me first place (tied with a male nurse wearing a skirt).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxsSu8aPL5p0qmhwsWRMd3x-flLQySwmVXGnPJK-X7aCk3_X8xwjSkqMmGSQdlbsJ-XbmHhxUM-j5wOdEvjqrioHeysW5kYVr2zBIJtQWK9TfxitGFObEQShZ-HjNVIWq78u1vfRGF4Q/s1600-h/Halloween+Costume+Frida+Kahlo.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 137px; height: 206px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxsSu8aPL5p0qmhwsWRMd3x-flLQySwmVXGnPJK-X7aCk3_X8xwjSkqMmGSQdlbsJ-XbmHhxUM-j5wOdEvjqrioHeysW5kYVr2zBIJtQWK9TfxitGFObEQShZ-HjNVIWq78u1vfRGF4Q/s800/Halloween+Costume+Frida+Kahlo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398049143737907522" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgePyAAnSQbrYocZ1RyHlYaCDJ76HgaAQW2HSo0JMYTWMfkXuVb7q6X5GbfteBQWHXMFLzJN8PyYvcpCbFPtI_Z05WBd2yAiy6MGgc_eNUIVqK7Zxwcnq_lt2i5u3AJnvY_d8hCj3Eo_lg/s1600-h/Halloween+Costume+Frida+Kahlo2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 205px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgePyAAnSQbrYocZ1RyHlYaCDJ76HgaAQW2HSo0JMYTWMfkXuVb7q6X5GbfteBQWHXMFLzJN8PyYvcpCbFPtI_Z05WBd2yAiy6MGgc_eNUIVqK7Zxwcnq_lt2i5u3AJnvY_d8hCj3Eo_lg/s800/Halloween+Costume+Frida+Kahlo2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398053349315862466" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What you will need</span><br />Colorful and flower clothing. Use the clothes you already have, anything Mexican inspired. Frida Kahlo had a very unique style and used lots of full and floral skirts and dresses. Put on a white blouse or a black cape. Put flowers in your hair and put on statement jewelry pieces. Costume jewelry is perfect. Craft stores have fake flowers connected to wire which you can easily affix in your hair.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg39uc5gnO1TW1pgA5P1T141I_QHLPkc2OZi9EqiLreOkxVBYVLV9zLfzZAL8HHdlvADbz6pKgJYmCLEsgRcGDegS3ySHU1TTCY1rSGq6aC4nJBXK7OeCJHohr2jjzJJGRBVY4lvWlD0Zg/s1600-h/Red+Floral+Garland.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 127px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg39uc5gnO1TW1pgA5P1T141I_QHLPkc2OZi9EqiLreOkxVBYVLV9zLfzZAL8HHdlvADbz6pKgJYmCLEsgRcGDegS3ySHU1TTCY1rSGq6aC4nJBXK7OeCJHohr2jjzJJGRBVY4lvWlD0Zg/s800/Red+Floral+Garland.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398054634517067378" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3KHElNhzEZZ_5fiwY6DD2meNxCxRK54D6qXj__vPE55nZOcayfyWhTsffAQq3n8EqJGx71VCJ4_47M4-pXKzxQIZzXC8Z1kFel9fLACtVJh0fiAozxG_YSCoLSL8M99zDZHaPXo2byw8/s1600-h/Flowers.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 147px; height: 122px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3KHElNhzEZZ_5fiwY6DD2meNxCxRK54D6qXj__vPE55nZOcayfyWhTsffAQq3n8EqJGx71VCJ4_47M4-pXKzxQIZzXC8Z1kFel9fLACtVJh0fiAozxG_YSCoLSL8M99zDZHaPXo2byw8/s800/Flowers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398055210109652082" border="0" /></a><br />For my costume I found a flowered Spanish style dress that I had gotten at H&M. Then I put on a pair of dangling gold earrings and a beaded red necklace. I used the fake flowers I had in my apartment and put some in my hair (not pictured below). This took me less than an hour to find and put together.

First take the brown eyebrow color and fill in your brows with a shadow brush. Apply a little at a time because you want to make it look as natural as possible. After you connect the brows take some mascara and go over the makeup with your brush, going upwards. Again less is more. You don't want it to be too overpowering.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hair</span><br />For Frida's hair you can pull your hair up into a simple bun or create the braid around the crown of your head. If you know how to french braid hair it will be simple. Instead of doing a typical french braid you will do one along the crown.<br /><br />1- Bend forwards so it falls evenly and gathers at the front of your head.<br />2- Section your hair from behind your left ear until the middle of your head (the center part).<br />3- Divide this section into 3 more sections and start doing the french braid along the crown of your head.<br />4- Tighten the braid and make sure it is close to your head and not loose.<br />5- Braid until you reach your other ear. Now you can pin your hair into place and create a bun.Elenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790001888961631762noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031532264060758090.post-71269067723681385552009-10-29T10:25:00.015-04:002009-10-29T21:05:51.088-04:00Homemade Halloween Costume Ideas - Beyonce & Sasha Fierce<span style="font-weight: bold;">BEYONCE SINGLE LADIES VIDEO</span><br />This video has already become one of the most iconic videos of our time.

Chances are the dress you already own is not as provocative as Miss Boop's dress, however you can sew it temporarily to create a shorter hemline.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgohZwyIWl2UOa7vE3GFJNQeZq6UF43GBOLff3q_Wqe1FRhHuqRLQpW42OHCFF5gb4PGJPJCUDpvoLeyCouHBmT-Cv8Gpk2w-iCLnYrf0mdJWoTCEUzyAGMc9lcyS4wRClYJtVQOdiilMM/s1600-h/Halloween+Costume+Betty+Boop+Red+Dress.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 165px; height: 205px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgohZwyIWl2UOa7vE3GFJNQeZq6UF43GBOLff3q_Wqe1FRhHuqRLQpW42OHCFF5gb4PGJPJCUDpvoLeyCouHBmT-Cv8Gpk2w-iCLnYrf0mdJWoTCEUzyAGMc9lcyS4wRClYJtVQOdiilMM/s800/Halloween+Costume+Betty+Boop+Red+Dress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398064104375905138" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqmfxZesAjkkzCa7Px-5yjt8_h7MP12rzRbMJl1pa2qpzBTqgwxF354hdqIolDIvcSuP5Bg3zX0mouH4JU2pDhiCccEmpL1Ed5_m8sq9vkdK2_C6M7vjtankr2-W-Yw2d_oPtRYPPKCAA/s1600-h/Halloween+Costume+Betty+Boop+Black+Dress.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 143px; height: 210px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqmfxZesAjkkzCa7Px-5yjt8_h7MP12rzRbMJl1pa2qpzBTqgwxF354hdqIolDIvcSuP5Bg3zX0mouH4JU2pDhiCccEmpL1Ed5_m8sq9vkdK2_C6M7vjtankr2-W-Yw2d_oPtRYPPKCAA/s800/Halloween+Costume+Betty+Boop+Black+Dress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398064097299800610" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What you need</span><br />To look like Betty Boop you will need a black or red strapless dress. It has to be somewhat form fitting in order to pull it off. If it isn't short enough you can shorten the hemline temporarily by sewing it up a few inches. Sew by hand so the stitching is easy to remove later. If you are lucky enough to own a top hat, you can finish off the look with a cap and cane.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8wJoBgBCLdClKoTgx147hIWfssXmuT9Ge3Nj0aQRgjceLOz1XQY-Mb6Bu-md2OK_l8wRiKWPnJvBI9_QgrL6xEltMXAvRnDFW2NLFkKvsT5s4q1JqG2jLrZREt5s2w12A-Nq3deDu7Cw/s1600-h/Betty+Boop+Costume+Strapless+Black+Dress+2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 78px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8wJoBgBCLdClKoTgx147hIWfssXmuT9Ge3Nj0aQRgjceLOz1XQY-Mb6Bu-md2OK_l8wRiKWPnJvBI9_QgrL6xEltMXAvRnDFW2NLFkKvsT5s4q1JqG2jLrZREt5s2w12A-Nq3deDu7Cw/s800/Betty+Boop+Costume+Strapless+Black+Dress+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398069372715392594" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib5i0arlluswu2yQy9tkDSjD48LIL6asod3wWqGAbLfrDIp3I2M8X0BTIeMX_aHcFH-Kxmnv_PA54IECdhMDwcAUdpdxHIfuSiPuIGslJ45P_5dweLh1OvsCwvm7OO4J3qLOpS4k3-Eq8/s1600-h/Betty+Boop+Costume+Strapless+Black+Dress.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 91px; height: 182px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib5i0arlluswu2yQy9tkDSjD48LIL6asod3wWqGAbLfrDIp3I2M8X0BTIeMX_aHcFH-Kxmnv_PA54IECdhMDwcAUdpdxHIfuSiPuIGslJ45P_5dweLh1OvsCwvm7OO4J3qLOpS4k3-Eq8/s800/Betty+Boop+Costume+Strapless+Black+Dress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398069378351291698" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Garter</span><br />You can make the Betty Boop garter by sewing a piece of yellow fabric together and using double sided tape to make sure it sticks on your body. Felt is cheap and works well. After you make your belt, cut out a red heart and sew it to your yellow garter. Yellow lace is another option you can use for the garter. A craft store should carry both the felt and lace.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-zNUfutLz5KovfdGX0PTvvrjUkZfZhwd5s8Su9wCbyayhC67GQBTZhpIrSLgVU3jAXXaIGN5aT0VsQQoZHKs9ZboIUNw_MODbj3ez1VKz3iZZExtxHFki3pmoT6Bn_5srEYrx5KQEPeA/s1600-h/Yellow+felt.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 90px; height: 90px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-zNUfutLz5KovfdGX0PTvvrjUkZfZhwd5s8Su9wCbyayhC67GQBTZhpIrSLgVU3jAXXaIGN5aT0VsQQoZHKs9ZboIUNw_MODbj3ez1VKz3iZZExtxHFki3pmoT6Bn_5srEYrx5KQEPeA/s800/Yellow+felt.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398071564037970674" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglrKSfkiPJjhmMPq7bJzdVkN0LTShRzTpjYqYjsVtl5oGUOhN9mYOAvC2qC41NpFpaV7JaooDPwb4Zex76_-kU0_DUcjOYIV7MGgB-fQNWOVsg30r5V33LgNM0Zrj3N2wMAZKiydRuBzY/s1600-h/Red+felt+heart.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 81px; height: 66px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglrKSfkiPJjhmMPq7bJzdVkN0LTShRzTpjYqYjsVtl5oGUOhN9mYOAvC2qC41NpFpaV7JaooDPwb4Zex76_-kU0_DUcjOYIV7MGgB-fQNWOVsg30r5V33LgNM0Zrj3N2wMAZKiydRuBzY/s800/Red+felt+heart.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398071566505692226" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jewelry</span><br />You could always buy the costume jewelry for Betty Boop at any party store;<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0OUt1b-mPbXSgRsChsp2CGdQAy65EG0h_e4py2A8h-_08LyKyy_t3jp4gLJoMYwAbrsoU-Iuaz_6yr7OSdy1mL25cNVpW01dKexMZHowaiR-G5jOZ_5-CC2HFkGI3js0vCZ3-5PaUXPo/s1600-h/Betty+Boop+Jewelry.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 107px; height: 139px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0OUt1b-mPbXSgRsChsp2CGdQAy65EG0h_e4py2A8h-_08LyKyy_t3jp4gLJoMYwAbrsoU-Iuaz_6yr7OSdy1mL25cNVpW01dKexMZHowaiR-G5jOZ_5-CC2HFkGI3js0vCZ3-5PaUXPo/s800/Betty+Boop+Jewelry.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398062818057959010" border="0" /></a><br />But you don't have to.

To be a part of the series he has to choose a muse. Designers before him, like <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/06/check_out_anna_suis_gossip_gir.html">Anna Sui</a>, chose the girls of Gossip Girl, and I must admit I wasn't CRAZY about many of the character's outfits. <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/01/mcqueen_for_target.html">Alexander McQueen's</a> line was more simple and rock and roll, makes sense since his inspiration was Liela Moss of The Duke Spirit. Gaultier chose a more common muse, the American woman:<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Jean Paul Gaultier for Target pays tribute to the American woman, celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture, the retailer said</span> </span><span style="font-size:78%;">(<a href="http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/10/jean_paul_gaultier_to_do_targe.html?mid=fashion-alert--20091020">the cut</a>)</span>.<br /><br />I have to admit I'm excited to see his collection, mostly because I'm curious how his vision will mesh with a tribute for the American woman. His Spring 2010 ready to wear collection was edgy and forward looking, like many of his collections are. A surprise to me was the multitude of overalls that appeared, from wideleg to skinny leg. Could there be overalls in this new collection?

These outfits were some of my favorites, no doubt a common trend for Spring and Fall (all you need to do is add some leggings). The reason I like this look so much is that it can be flattering on most body types.

Lately it seems that us ladies have been opting for harsher, less inspired ensembles (I include myself in this drab category). As Marc Jacobs has said, he's tired of seeing women in <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2010RTW-MJACOBS">black and studs</a>. Of course I swoon at Marc's every word. Vivienne's collection is fun, and because of my penchant for all things bright and printed, Tam's is a collection I would wear, particularly the pairing a a fitted blazer or vest over the flowy fabrics.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMytrAnZWZk3la44XorjaH9i_CkxHmF7NUx0MDXHnngOcab1hHwzFIey2K0I4pRkT1gO7NNOM25zZe41yDgZ88bZkqU5q1_JU-y1JfCp6YIxg8vi1vJTkvJc5SyK-cljXvKHR2NiuucTI/s1600-h/Vivienne+Tam+Spring+2010+7.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

Is there a more satisfying feeling than veering off course to step on the fallen leaves? Nope I didn't think so.<br /><br />There is something about September that resonates with seriousness. The astrological month of Virgo is associated with the last harvest, the image of gathering and preparing for the dreary months ahead, and in my case that will hopefully consist of a jumper like this one by <a href="http://www.asos.com/The-Laden-Showroom/Love-Milly-Moleskin-Playsuit/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=807052&cid=7618&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Khaki">Love Milly</a> and this beautiful coat by Argentine designer <a href="http://www.jazminchebar.com.ar/">Jazmin Chebar</a>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkVmqFobdJzutD3_b3rpwDbowMorXlPRYZOlC0qwUBBoCAtKhyLC85VO0xSfB-8WHv3zms09vJpSmAvyaHOQHUra74UwEIw-5IuEQlQlf6n-2qACZAcJUpLAQxsbpZSEhWPBs9cbpRYhE/s1600-h/Love+Milly+Jumper.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 131px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkVmqFobdJzutD3_b3rpwDbowMorXlPRYZOlC0qwUBBoCAtKhyLC85VO0xSfB-8WHv3zms09vJpSmAvyaHOQHUra74UwEIw-5IuEQlQlf6n-2qACZAcJUpLAQxsbpZSEhWPBs9cbpRYhE/s800/Love+Milly+Jumper.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379146417403090786" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCY2eGxJWLaONJxY_WRANFuggEd-SY-6K0E5KpC7AWyLvFXoJpjLJdfSyorRwbj-UNNExnCvrWh5BjDvDvjZHKCco5WuU_f5pRiIWnbiN-aDywWXXmRSRNRIacLnqJnyeSAe1vPZ71hTY/s1600-h/Jazmin+Chebar+Coat.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 188px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCY2eGxJWLaONJxY_WRANFuggEd-SY-6K0E5KpC7AWyLvFXoJpjLJdfSyorRwbj-UNNExnCvrWh5BjDvDvjZHKCco5WuU_f5pRiIWnbiN-aDywWXXmRSRNRIacLnqJnyeSAe1vPZ71hTY/s800/Jazmin+Chebar+Coat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379157482469896722" border="0" /></a><br />Even though my school girl days are long behind me, I can't help but daydream of a back to school wardrobe.

In fact, the character trait I used to disguise then, is the very thing I like to emphasize now and I like to make it big people. I may be modest about a lot of things, but when it comes to hair, I love the thick unruly chaos.<br /><br />The street style blog <a href="http://aucoindemarue.wordpress.com/">Au Coin De Ma Rue</a> has really cool pictures of people from all over the world with very different style.
