Halloween Frenzy

Halloween is my favorite time of the year (other than Christmas). My birthday, my best friends birthday and Halloween all in one weekend means a lot of partying. This year, I knew I wanted to be Harley Quinn since I saw the movie Suicide Squad. I did think the movie would be better than it was but I still decided to be Margot Robbie's character because she was crazy good for this part. I loved how Harley was psychotic in the movie but still so hot. The way she used her looks to trick people made me think of how fun it would be to dress up like her for Halloween. Plus, the blue and red eye makeup sold me since it is not universally accepted to wear clown makeup any other day of the year. I had ordered her iconic "Daddy's Little Monster" tee in September from Spencer's because I knew a lot of people were planning on being Harley Quinn for Halloween. I then thought to myself, "I can't walk around the Bronx in underwear and fishnets so I need to think of something a little less revealing." I had already purchased a lace up black body skirt in the summer so I thought if I paired that with fishnets, it would add a little edge and I could make it my own. So i did that and threw on my heeled combat boots and viola! The make up was my favorite part of the costume though. It took me 4 trials before I knew how to get it exactly right. I had my friend take some pictures of my costume and then I realized how great she looked. She was an alien and wore a metallic bracelet from American Apparel. Her makeup consisted of loads of highlight and white eyeshadow. Her hair was placed in two little buns on the top of her head which mimicked antennas. 
Here's some pictures of our costumes:
 And for my second costume, (this was my birthday) I decided I wanted to still look pretty and scary at the same time. I found these lace bunny ears at Misguided and fell in love! I've always wanted to wear something like this but when else is it okay to walk around with bunny ears? I wore all black (are you surprised?) and heeled ankle boots. This costume was very last minute and simple but to be honest, it was my favorite! I don't have a full body picture so I'll just share the picture I instagrammed from that day. 

Thanks for reading guys!
