ttF Fashion Staples Month #10 Summary: October Camel Crush

ttF Fashion Staples Month #10 Summary: October Camel Crush
When planning my October Staples, I didn’t know I’d have 7 costumes for the month (6 for Halloween and 1 for a friend’s 80s themed birthday party). But I managed to incorporate a staple into every dress-up experience. Anyone who knows me knows how obsessed I am with the holiday.

As for the staples, my favorite by far was the camel sweater dress. It’s one of the most versatile dresses I own! It can work for the office, parties, casual dinners and even transforms into a top. I definitely plan on wearing it numerous more times this winter.

Here’s the breakdown for October…

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Michael Kors Moment
I’m a huge fan of anything monochromatic. It’s so incredibly sophisticated—and slimming! Today’s head-to-toe camel ensemble felt very Michael Kors to me. My friend Jen agreed so we tried our best to stage a MK-inspired photo shoot. With no yacht or private jet in courtyard, a fountain had to make due.

ttF Fashion Diary: Black Widow

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Black Widow
For actual Halloween night I decided to go all out. Originally I was going to be a cute spider girl by pairing my Frederick’s of Hollywood accessories with a flirty skirt, spider web tights and some pumps. But inspired by my MAC vampire makeover from last Halloween, I decided to cross over to the dark side as a Black Widow. Using MAC Pro Paint, I created a red and black backdrop on my lids, and then mixed white eye shadow with a medium to create a web design. I put Urban Decay’s lashes just on my bottom lashes for a spider effect and added a few stick-on crystals I had leftover from my Christina Aguilera costume. For the lips, I lined and filled them in with Laura Mercier True Red lip pencil, applied one coat of MAC Pro Longwear Lipcolor, lined and shaded with MAC black Pro Paint, and added another coat of lipcolor. I felt so artsy I decided to use an eyeliner and the lipcolor to create a few tattoos as well. Leather pants and gloves, pointy boots and a red wig made it more dangerous. And I was even able to use one of my fashion staples in my look!

I went out with my friend Kinya (Chargers girl) and Jamie (Snooki) to the West Hollywood parade, where I ran into different types of black widows. Then we headed over to Adam Levine’s Hollywood bash at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It was a little strange partying in the mausoleum, but very appropriate for the holiday. Now it’s time to put all six of my Halloween costumes away and head back to reality!

ttF Fashion Diary: Blair Waldorf War

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Blair Waldorf War
Sometimes I feel like a big meeting is similar to going to war. You have to be fully prepared with notes and a plan of attack. And you have to dress the part. For me, that usually means a fitted sheath dress, classic pumps and one powerful piece of statement jewelry, very similar to Blair Waldorf’s outfits on Gossip Girl when she declared war on Chuck. So it only seemed fitting to pose with two of America’s great presidents, JFK and Ronald Reagan, at the The Wall Project before my meeting today.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Major Style
I usually prefer to DIY my Halloween costumes but I adored this army getup from Trashy Lingerie. Usually, their costumes are too pricey. But this year, they made a more affordable line by sending their patterns overseas. It may not be hand made, but how many times am I really going to wear a green mini skirt with yellow fringe? Since I have a larger forehead, I skipped the hat and instead used it to dress up my dog Bunny Bell. I was Major Style and she was Marjorette Bell. Later in the evening, I went with my friend Rainbow Bright Jenn to a house party up in the hills to salute the holiday.
