Halloween Idea - Doing it Up like Big Kids

Hmmm... I really want to do it big this Halloween. I usually don't do anything other then stay home and watch Jason and Freddy Kruger movies in the dark. But this year I'm feeling festive and its only September?! I seen this picture awhile back of a girl dressed like the Joker from the Dark Knight movie.

How hard do you think it will be to find a purple well fitted size small blazer for cheaps? ... yea...Then I saw this Mary Poppins Costume idea by Keiko Lynn. How freaking cute?! I love this and its doable.

The most interesting potential Halloween make up I have seen is this really cool comic book lady make up. How creative are you to have thought of this?! This seriously looks like a lot of work and time consuming, not to mention the lack of movement youre going to be doing. One wrong move and BIG smudge on your perfectly position polka-dot!

Dying to Tie Die ^__^

Tie Dye Inspiration-Board

Ive seen a few DIY's on how to tie dye (rhyming was unintentional, I promise lol) and I know the first thing that pops to mind is "cheesy hippie rainbow T's". But tie dye can actually be very sophisticated and grown up! And anyway isn't what the last few years have been about? taking old things and adding a modern twist? Its called vintage chic and we love it! xD

As of now I don't have any tutorials to post but Ive gotten some awesome ideas from the links below, I think you might enjoy as well. As soon as I get all my supplies I will be posting my experience with dying! sounds scary to me haha but I'm willing to try it.

Chevron Wristlet Pattern

Also I love love love Made-by-Rae's Free Chevron Wristlet Pattern. I first saw this chevron technique at Dana Made it.com her project from-stripes-to-chevrons-pillow was so interesting and easy enough to get me thinking about buying stripe fabric to try this. My room could definitely use a color and pattern splash.
