Halloween Costume: Mrs. Doubtfire

Well, today's Halloween, which means that it's too late to order anything online, even if you overnight it. So here is a last-minute costume that will get a lot of laughs - Mrs. Doubtfire in the famous cake face scene.


I've put together the pieces, but you can really make this out of any old robe. If you've got no time to find a wig, just put your hair in rollers and whiten it with baby powder. And pick up some white cream makeup at the drugstore and just slather it on like crazy!

Robe $35 // Pajamas $25 // Slippers $13 // Wig $27 // Makeup $6

Adele Halloween Costume

This costume may have been much timelier last year or the year before, when Adele was EVERYWHERE, but I still got a few requests for it this year. Plus, it's a potentially easy last-minute costume, especially if you already have some sort of 60's inspired black dress.

One of the requests I got was for a plus-sized version, so I've selected two dresses: one in misses sizes, and one in plus.


Dress (Misses) $55 // Dress (Plus) $43 // Pantyhose $11 // Shoes $45 // Eyeliner $9 //
Lashes $10 // Wig $46 // Microphone $5

Halloween Costume: Dr. Horrible.

It gets COLD here in the northeast in late October, so I'm a big fan of any costume that will keep me warm. I'm also a huge fan of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.



Coat $40 // Pants $29 // Boots $36 // Gloves $4 // Goggles $18 // Wig $30 // Gun $5

Calvin and Hobbes Halloween Costume

Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite comic strip of all time, so I'm really excited to put this costume together! This can either be a couple's costume (rent or buy a tiger costume for your partner) or a single costume with a stuffed tiger.



Shirt $30 // Shorts $30 // Socks $10 // Sneakers $45 // Wig $16 // Tiger $20

We've all seen the commercials a zillion times, right? Just paint the logo onto the apron, make a name badge out of cardboard, and you're good to go!

Halloween Costume: Rollergirl (from "Boogie Nights")

Boogie Nights is one of my favorite movies, so I can't believe I've never done a costume from the film. I mean, a movie about the porn industry in the 70's? That is Halloween GOLD.

There aren't too many photos of Rollergirl on the web, so if you want to get a good feel for her look, just watch the movie. Basically, she's a girl-next-door type who wears rollerskates 24/7, and just happens to be a successful porn actress!


Jacket $22 // Tank $8 // Shorts $11 // Socks $4 // Skates $71 // Wig $38 // Eyeshadow $5

Top $48 // Skirt $24 // Shawl $25 // Flowers $1 ea. // Sandals $30 // Necklace $34 // Bracelets $5 // Earrings $20 // Eyebrow Pencil $4 // Wig (tie the braids up) $10

Halloween Costume: Tiffi from Candy Crush

Today's costume is a request from a reader who is a big fan of Candy Crush Saga. Did you know that the little girl in pink is named Tiffi? I didn't. But if you'd like to dress as her for Halloween, here's how to do it!

Dress $37 // Headband $26 // Tights $11 // Shoes $10 // Blush $3 // Candy $13 // Wig $12

Halloween Costume: Jackie O

She's mostly known as Jackie O., but when she was the stylish first lady in the 60's she still went by Jackie Kennedy. Her feminine and sophisticated style is as iconic today as it was fifty years ago.

Halloween Costume: There's Something About Mary

Head back to the 90's for today's Halloween costume, and dress as Cameron Diaz's Mary in "There's Something About Mary."


But do me (and yourself) a favor - use ACTUAL hair gel, or hairspray, to get Mary's hilarious accidental hairstyle. Please don't use what she used!

(Video NSFW!)

Okay, you're back and you loved it, right? Well, if you've got a quartet of girls who are looking for a fun group costume, why not go as Veronica Sawyer and her frenemies: Heather Chandler, Heather Duke, and Heather McNamara? It's easy - each girl has her own signature color scheme.
