Black Widow Costume












Black Widow is hot and seductive, intelligent and brave, and she kicks ass.

 Want the look?  This is how I put it together in our store..

Black stretch Pants: $27
Black top with front zipper: $52
Spitfire Sunglasses: $20


I took red pipe cleaners and shaped them to look like an hour glass and then I glued them to a black belt. You can use anything to make the red black widow mark.  Another option is to take rhinestones or to simply paint it onto the belt.

Instead of a utility belt, I took this twisted dagger belt  with the red crystal skull.  (It's on sale for $69.)  You can also use any black fanny pack or funky belt.

I wrapped a red belt around the thigh to make a faux thigh holster.
I forgot to get gloves for this outfit, but  I would get a pair of short black gloves and cut off the fingers and cut out a strip at the back of the hand.





I used silver cuff bracelets to finish off the look.




For the wrist cuffs I decided to take two different bracelets to make it look funkier.  
(Bracelet on the right $25, Bracelet on the left $45).   


To tie off this look, think about using temporary hair dye to get the red locks that Black Widow is so well known for and give your hair a curl.
Apply a dark red lipstick and keep the rest of your makeup light.  Play up your lashes with dark mascara.  My favorite mascara is called Blinc and it is available at MIXT Cosmetics.  It is the best masacara I've ever tried and it will give you the look of super long lashes, I promise. 



Have fun with this look!

Jersey Shore Halloween

The Jersey Shore look is so easy to do and you can absolutely wear the outfit on another occasion.  Here we have three Jersey Shore looks.  They're hot and sassy so get ready to have a lot of fun!

The Jersey Shore girls are craazzzzzy! 

All you need for this look is a sexy dress.  Then once Halloween is over, you can wear the dress out on a hot date or for a night out on the town. 

Here are a few options...

Try this Snookie inspired animal print dress.  And don't forget to pouf your hair!

Dress- $45

This short black dress differentiates itself from all the other black dresses out there by crossing in the back several times to give you a sexy back.  Try this for a Sammi look!
Dress- $45

This midnight blue dress is a great alternative to your usual black dress. Wear it with fishnet tights for a Jenni look. 

 
Dress $33

Putting Together Your Halloween Costume

I like to put together my Halloween costumes from clothes I would normally wear.  That way, I not only have a stylish costume, but I can take it apart and wear the different pieces on other occasions. I have practically no experience with sewing or any of that.. but I'm good at putting outfits together.  ;-)

I'm going to show you how you can put together different costumes from clothes and accessories you can purchase at PINK.

Here are the top costume ideas for this Halloween...

1. Jersey Shore- The girls of Jersey Shore have lots of fun and you can too. 


2. Lady Gaga- She's hot and crazy and funky and as bizarre as she is we all love her.


2. Black Widow (from Iron Man)- She's strong willed, intelligent and rocks out in leather.


3. Vampiress- Vampires are so hot this year.  From the Cullin vampires to something of your own creation, you can't go wrong!



Three weeks until Halloween.  
Stick with us to see some of our Halloween Ideas.  :D

Homecoming is just around the corner...

Homecoming is sneaking up on you, but don't you worry about a thing!  Get your dress from PINK and show up looking like a star.  PINK is your one stop shop for all of your Homecoming needs this year.

I loooove homecoming season because it's one of the few times that you can get all dressed up.  I remember when I was in high school and how beautiful everybody looked at homecoming.  I felt like a princess and I wasn't even running for homecoming queen!  :-D  

I always got my dresses from boutiques like PINK because most girls are going to get their dresses and accessories from the mall and you don't want to show up to homecoming wearing the same thing as somebody else!  That happened to my best friend once.  She got her homecoming dress from Bebe and three other girls were wearing the same dress.  We ended up leaving the homecoming dance for an emergency shopping excursion!  LOL!  I soooo remember all 5 of us squishing ourselves into Megan's powder blue Angel themed Volkswagen Bug with Chelsea crying in the backseat that she wasn't going to find another dress.  Now we can look back and laugh.  ;-)


This year's homecoming inspiration comes from...
