Hallows Eve

DSC04329 

Hey guys! I promised I would share my Halloween costume with you – this years costume was done on a small budget of $20… Can you guess who we were? Katy Perry and Russell Brand :) …  When J showed up at my house with the eye makeup, shaded in beard and that WIG! I almost died of laughter – I think he did such an awesome job and his interpretation was spot on! He also ended up winning best costume! … My costume was a little more “inspired” because I could not make the actual cupcake bra .. I got this idea online and went with it … I basically got two circular Styrofoam pieces and painted the red swirls (topped off with red glitter)… covered them in clear cellophane and tied the ends with ribbon to make it look like candies …glued gunned them to an old bra that I also painted blue… blue wig was from Wal Mart for $6 (which was probably why the quality was not the greatest ..I had to keep my blonde hair down because the hair was so sparse on the wig :s). The shorts are ones I picked up at Value Village and then painted with blue glitter paint from Wal Mart (cost me $2.50).. I then sprayed them over with hair spray to sort of seal it in when it dried. It was a little chilly so I also decided to wear over the knee socks to keep myself semi-warm!

If you guys have any pictures I would love to see them! Don't be shy to email me or even just let me know in the comment! I love Halloween – too bad its over too quickly … I wish we could have Halloween week where we dress up differently each day of the week …haha

The party was amazing- the food was delish – the host was beyond amazing – and there were just so many great costumes that it would take too long to list …a couple of them included an actual life sized Barbie box and matching “dolls” (it was amazing) … Everyone got really creative!

You guys looked amazing, that's awesome!!
Me and Dylan went as a dead bride and groom and we won best costume too! Yaaa $100..pretty happy with that :)
Both a security guard and a cop asked Dylan if he did that type of makeup in real life; it was pretty realistic. My slit neck was rather nasty haha (there's pictures on my blog)

You two look great! Your costume is so creative, and it looks awesome on you. I dressed up twice, as a Hershey's Kiss and a flapper but somehow there seem to be very few photos!

Lol! These are so awesome. I totally would have thought that you did your boyfriends makeup and hair. Good for him. What a great idea :)

LOVE the pic! Your costume is too cute! I wish I could have been creative with my costume, but I had some family stuff going on that kept me from being able to be creative so I was a boring cowgirl :(
LOVE your costume though!!

Gigi said...

Ahhhh! Hahaha omg that's so coool! His wig looks so spot on!
And ur inspired look is pretty great tooo.

This was the first yr I finally got dressed for H-ween and my bf also did his make up himself with the mustache which i thought was so cute. It's cool to see a guy into "going all out" for their costume i guess even if it means doing their make up lol. I had a blast and am also kinda sad it's over already but next yr again right? ;D

Hi Ashleigh! It's Hailley! You probably don't remember me but I left you my first comment right before your NYC trip! You have been such an inspiration to me and I absolutely adore you! I finally decided it was time for me to start a little diary of my own and start following you officially! Just wanted you to know you have been my inspiration and courage! ;) Lots of love!
