Hey people,
Its been a busy time so this is a re-post....but a very timely one!
“It’s a night when even a nice girl can dress like a dominatrix and still hold her head up the next morning,” Linda M. Scott, a professor of marketing at the University of Oxford in England, says in an article.
Well, seeing as that give you the free rein on letting your foxy bad girl out…who’s holding you back?
I’m feeling very inspired this Halloween and here are my top picks for who or what to dress up as.
To put you all in the festive spirit, here are some great pics of celebs all dressed up for Halloween
Not for the faint of heart or the thicker set body, but going as Catwoman is one hell of a way to make sure you're the life and soul of the party! Miaow!
P poppa Diddy Pop does his bit as a Centurion.
Audrina dresses up as a very 80s Madonna and Christina Milian makes a sexy little Marie Antoinette.
Christina Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman make a fabulous corpse bride and groom.
And clearly they're a couple that likes to dress up as here they are making a star turn as a sexy doctor and nurse. No end to the number of jokes there.
Teri hatcher and her daughter Emerson as Mary, Queen of Hearts and Alice In Wonderland.
Petra Nemcova makes a badass Cleopatra.
Liv Tyler brings some Marilyn magic to the party.
Ahoy there captain...John Legend looks a little too comfortable in his pirate get up. Booty jokes all night I'm sure.
And there's nothing like a good excuse to dress up to bring on a little gender bending. Jason Biggs makes a supercute Dorothy.
And now for some really really good costumes ideas...and remember...don't hold back!
This is my absolute favourite one for a couple. Bunny and Hef. So easy and so much fun. And anyone who's tried to convince their Mr to dress up knows how damn near impossible a task that is, but the beauty of Hef is the ease of the costume.
Betty Boop, cute, fun, sexy. Love it.
Blair Waldorf or Chuck Bass? Very easy to have fun with these outfits, this picture shoes you how to inject a little more naughty school girl into Blair's outfit to keep things on the humourous side.
Ugly Betty isn't a cute outfit but it is fun and its pretty easy too. Go all out with buck teeth and the biggest speccy four eyes you can get your hands on.
Dream Girls bring a little old school sexy to the party. Those dresses are so damn tight its a wonder they can walk and get yourself one of those retro 'set' hair styles and you're good to go. And 110% all woman.
Hallo my name is Inga, from Oktoberfest. Can I interest you in my jugs? Of beer.
She take my money....when I'm in need! I absolutely love this one. A true hardcore, unabashed gold digger. Make sure your hard hat has a functional torch on it to keep it fun and entertaining for you and help you dig out all those dollar dollar bills.
Or go as the ultimate Geisha Girl in this sexy get up. Sexy in that more covered up way.
In the words of Apache (remember him?), I need a gangsta, a gangsta bitch. Yeah, rock on wit yo bad mamma jamma self.
Officer Fisticuffs and Inmate Ben Dover. No end to the fun times to be had with this.
Heaven or Hell? Take your pick and make it rain on your party.
Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker....another relatively easy couple outfit.
Plug and Socket...a brilliant idea for a couple outfit!
Make like Flava Flav (why anyone would want to....) and be the p.i.m.p. of l.o.v.e.
Another fun couple outfit, you get to be a little sexy and all dark and gothic. So much fun to be had with hair and make up on this one. And you could probably make the outfit work with clothes you already have.
If you've already decided...make sure you share with the rest of us who you're going to dress up as.
Have a fun one!
I loved the series and love my box set (still hands down one of my best Xmas pressies EVER..so thank you for that).
I loved the Movie and own the DVD.
I think I can safely say I'm a HUGE SATC fan.
And I'm really happy to hear not only is the sequel to the movie out next Spring, but filming began this week, which means a steady stream of paparazzi shots of of the actresses in all their fabulosity for the next couple of months.
Here's an old post on the outfits during the show...click here.
And here's an old post of outfits during the film...click here.
And after that quick look at the past, lets take a look at the future.
Cynthia Nixon and Kim Catrall looking fabulous as they arrive on set.
Loving those super-sparkly Louboutins.
And this MUST be a flashback to the 80s moment!
The countdown has begun and in case you didn't already know I'm totally obsessed with Sex and the City. Loved the show when it was on and my box set is my ultimate go to when I want to chill out and watch something. (my ADD means I'm not that good at watching films). We have just about a month to go as the film is released on May 29th...a date that's been etched in my memory for months.
The storylines, the witty banter, the fabulous characters, the sexy city, the glamourous lives and oh my oh my....the clothes.
So as we all eagerly anticipate our lives being graced with the magic that is Sex and The City...I've done some mighty fine research to bring you my favourite outfits from the show.
Nothing much to report from Season 1 (i.e. no budget) so we'll start with Season 2.
LOVE this dress. Donna Karan at her finest. They way it moves and shimmers and reveals a little more leg than you probably should at a wedding, supremely sexy...all that and Big walks out to take a call while she's giving her speech. Ah well.
Charlotte wore the hell out of this Richard Tyler dress to a wedding. Black, plunging halterneck....once again a little va-va-voom for a wedding but when you look that hot who cares about propriety?
And moving onto season 4. Carrie rocked this beautiful Badgley Mischka dress to a wedding with Aidan. And that hair is fierce. Love this dress so much it gets two pictures...but you really need to see the back.
How bridal can a woman look when she's refusing to wear her (Harry Winston no less!) engagement ring...and chooses to wear it on a necklace as that 'keeps it closer to her heart'. That's priceless commitment-phobia in full effect. Gotta love the show.
Still on season 3 and unlike a lot of people at the time, loved the haircut and I'm so in love with that Vivienne Westwoood suit. Now that's what I call a suit.
Onto season 4 and Carrie brings the sex to the city with this fabulous killer outfit. The apple green Vivienne Westwood skirt worn with the sexy Chloe top and vintage belt...was she on the rebound? This looks like the perfect rebound outfit so if she wasn't and you are....you know what to do.
One of the more left of centre looks but I love it. Patricia Field does an amazing job of championing the lesser known designers and this Imitation of Christ dress looks fabulous, worn with Manolos and a Lulu Guinness striped tote.
Killing the primaries with this gorgeous Tracy Feith colour block dress...and the strawberry Kenneth Jay Lane necklace that sparked a huge global trend.
Onto season 5, the short season. And my word did Patricia Field work some magic at making diaphonous look...diaphonous and not I'm-trying-really-hard-to-not-look-preggers. Love this cute classic little Marni jacket with a fabulously feminine floral dress.
Charlotte looking demure and sexy in a vintage duck egg blue top. Love, love, love the super feminine style they worked with for Charlotte.
Season 6 was the jackpot season for wardrobe. Miranda...wasn't so keen on her wardrobe for the most part but I guess they had to work with the job (lawyer). Loved this Ilya frock on her though and the colour really suits her. And Charlotte looking cute as a button in a Plenty by Tracy Reese dress.
Charlotte got married to Harry in this Audrey Hepburn inspired Badgley Mischka dress.
At Miranda's autumn wedding Carrie wore this beautiful Badgley Mischka dress with a superpretty Luisa Beccaria floral print dress coat (you can just about see it draped over the back of her chair). Love the updo too.
The chick managed to look hot doing jury duty. And created a global sell-out for Manolo with those shoes. Cute hair too.
Fabulous, fabulous Marc Jacobs cocktail dress. And didn't she handle Edith fawning over Alexandre like a champ?
And with a cheeky nod to the Jane Austen era strumpet...Charlotte wore this Ralph Lauren corset well. Very well. Almost enough to make me want to own some Ralph Lauren.
In case you didn't know, I love purple and I loved, loved, loved this Sonia Rykiel jumper dress. It had sold out by the time I found out who it was by but i did eventually get my hands on something incredibly similar and yes, I still love it to bits.
Shall we dance? Nobody does couture like Oscar De La Renta and the dude is 75 and still going strong. Gotta respect that. A classic moment as Carrie passed out outside the opera and they ended up having their dinner and dance at McDeux.
They milked the hell out of the American in Paris with wardrobe but what's a great love story without un petit peu de fromage? And naturally they waved the American flag with the Jill Stuart dress and the Delaura hat, and said 'allo to the French with the Balenciaga coat, Rochas gloves and Christian Louboutin shooboots. Nice.
And going deeper with all things French, I loved this Balenciaga dress (very Minnie Mouse) with the cute Christian Lacroix coat and of course, Christian Louboutin heels.
The most classic all-dressed-up-and-nowhere-to-go outfit I've ever seen. A little OTT perhaps but when in France do as the Americans do...and overdress. JUST JOKING! It was an easy one. And effort is often overrated.
And we leave the girls back in their sexy city looking fabulous. Abso-figgin-lutely baby.
