AHH! As I have been counting down the days to Halloween, I have been constantly jamming out to old Halloween-y tunes to get myself in the spook-tac-ular mood *wink* So, this week for Three Ways to Wear Thursday, I am taking a karaoke break from fashion because I am in a thriller-of-a-mood for singing Halloween tunes! Now, so we can all get into the Halloween spirit BEFORE Saturday, I have found three oldies that are PERFECT for killer karaoke with your best buddies (or in your mirror, if you like to dance by yourself–Billy Idol style *wink*).
So, grab your dancing shoes, halloween costume, and hairbrush microphone because it is time to get our Thriller, Monster Mash and Werewolves of London on! DJ–hit it! *fist in air*
Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to Beauty Tues!
Halloween is just around the corner–literally! Ah! If your October was anything like mine, it flew by, and you totally forgot about planning your Halloween costume. Now–before you panic, check out the following Polyvore board + VIP Pinterest board for some quick n’ easy last minute makeup ideas that are sure to make you the talk of the party!
Now, before we forget about our costumes again, let’s get inspired *wink*
“They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re the Addams Family. Their house is a museum. Where people come to see ‘em. They really are a scream. The Addams family. So get a witches shawl on. A broomstick you can crawl on. We’re gonna pay a call on The Addams Family.” What a spooktacular song to totally get us in the mood for Halloween. Oh, Halloween-the buckets full of candy and treats, the haunted houses, and last, but not least, the costumes! Speaking of Halloween and costumes—this week on The Adventures of the VIP, I am going to show you how to dress for all your jack-o’-lantern, boo-tastic festivities-whether or not the invite says to wear a costume. Now, let’s hop on our brooms and zoom into fantastic outfits! Zoom, zoom, zoom, on my broom, broom, broom!

“Bewitched, bewitched, you’ve got me in your spell. Bewitched, bewitched, you know your craft so well…you witch, you witch, one thing that’s for sure.” Embrace your good witch side-wear a pitch black top with to-die-for black chiffon pants, a sparkly statement necklace, and a pointy witch hat for a quick Halloween costume that will have you looking like a spectacular glamour witch! Bewitched, Be-glamour-witched!
VIP Tips on Dressing for Halloween:
No Costume Needed: Work those lovely autumn and Halloween colors into your wardrobe to create instant ensembles that express your love for the season! You can never go wrong with anything black, sequined, or orange! By using these essentials, there is no need to hide behind a costume!
Quick! I Need a Costume!: Are you in a hurry and need a Halloween costume in a dash? No fear, my lovely fashionista! Grab your mom’s clothes from the 80s, tease that hair, and slide into some neon stilettos! Create a totally awesome look in a snap, or should I say in a tease…or two!
Be-Glamour-Witched: If you are looking for a cute witch costume, search within your own closet! Pair a simple pair of black pants with an oversized or sheer flowy black top, a black dazzling statement necklace—and don’t forget the pointy witch hat and broom! This ensemble will make you the wickedly fabulous witch of the party rather than the wicked witch of the west!
Disco Diva: Dressing as a disco diva is an easy and vintage approach on mashing up your Halloween spirit! Head on over to your local vintage shop, thrift store, or even shop within your parents closet! I can see it now- everyone boogying the night away in retro disco suits and platform heels…staying alive, staying alive, I got Saturday night fever!
Let’s hear it for the Boys: My dear sweet boys, a classic and super attractive Halloween costume is to go as a Grease character! Put on your leather jackets, slick back that hair, and practice your singing! This Halloween ensemble will have the girls screaming, “Let’s hear it for the boys”!
“He did the mash. He did the monster mash. The monster mash. It was a graveyard smash.” I am going to monster mash my way to Halloween festivities-so tah tah for now, my lovelies! Have a candy-filled and spooktacularly fashionable Halloween! I did the mash. I did the monster mash. The monster mash!
