Halloween Month - A Costume a Day - Unicorn

I made a post about creating a unicorn costume last year and I'll probably create one next year as well...that's because I'm OBSESSED with unicorns and personally feel like you can never really go wrong by going as one. Last year, my costume idea was a little more quirky, it involved rainbows and tulle (things I love). This year I'm gonna go a little more subtle. Classic white, classic unicorn meets human.

A long beautiful white dress to start things off - Find it HERE

Probably the MOST important element in a unicorn costume - the unicorn horn - Find it HERE

A long white wig (if you don't want to dye your hair white/platinum) - Find it HERE

Silver or white sparkly shoes (have I mentioned I LOVE sparkles) - find it HERE

Now add some body glitter, white eye shadow and lip gloss and you're good to go be an ethereal unicorn.

Halloween Month - A Costume a Day - Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood is a fallback costume for me. Probably because I own a crazy blue-eyed Husky named Frost who sort of looks like a wolf, so I love using her in my Halloween Costume. Plus, you get to where a giant red cape, and if you say you don't like running around the house with a giant cape tail flying out behind you like you're a Disney Villain...then I know you're lying.

You can't be Red Riding Hood without the cape - You just can't, don't try to fight it - Find it HERE

A Simple long black skirt - where you can find almost anywhere - You can even check Goodwill or Savers

Long Sleeve Medieval Shirt - Find it HERE (Again, you can also check your local Goodwill or Savers

Red Corset - Find it HERE

Basket - Another Red Riding Hood Staple - Find it HERE

Black Boots - a little sexy, but not tall enough a heel that you'll trip and die - Find them HERE

And here's a picture of my Husky Frost...the perfect wolf to my Red Riding Hood

Halloween Month - A Costume a Day - I Love Lucy

Halloween is my second favorite holiday. Christmas narrowly edges it out, only because PRESENTS and December in Arizona is when actual sweater weather begins. Anyways, one of the most difficult things about Halloween for me, besides not eating all the candy before passing it out, is deciding what I'm going to dress up as. I love dressing up. I do it even when it's not Halloween, but those are stories for different days. There are so many costumes to choose from that I can find myself becoming overwhelmed. So, every day up till Halloween I'll be posting a costume idea, one that I love! Hopefully it may help you find a little costume clarity or give you an idea of what you may want to dress up as.

Costume #1 - Lucy Ricardo from I Love Lucy

I used to watch I Love Lucy with my grandma when I was a little kid, and I absolutely adored everything about her - Her style, her hair, her relationship with Ricky, and most of all her AMAZING comedic ability. For me, the Golden Age of Hollywood icon I idolized wasn't Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn or Elizabeth Taylor - it was Lucille Ball. 

Polk-a-Dot Dress - Find it HERE

Petticoat to give your dress that puffy va-voom - Find it HERE

I Love Lucy Wig (a necessity if your hair isn't fruit punch red) - Find it HERE

Vintage Inspired Pumps - Find it HERE

Pearl Earrings - Find them HERE

Classic Red RED Lipstick - Find it HERE

Blue BLUE Eye Shadow - Find it HERE

Fake Eyelashes - Find it HERE

White Waist Apron (this is more optional then the other elements) - Find it HERE

Now all that's left it to practice your "Rickyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" whine!
