Spooky Scary

As we’ve discussed before, Heidi Klum LOVES dressing up for Halloween. Here are some of her costume ideas, as highlighted by Seventeen. Sephora windows are highlighting looks for Halloween, but Bare Minerals is giving away treats today for every day looks when you spend $50. Treats included are the hydrating mineral veil – (it that goes on after you apply your makeup to lock in moisture), primer, exfoliator called RareMinerals renew & reveal, cleanser, a moisturizer called RareMinerals purely nourishing that’s supposed to increase cell renewal as well as an additional moisturizer. Not to shabby, and zero calories, unlike many other treats available today.
If you’re like some of us at Philly Weekly and decided to wait until the last minute to figure out a costume, be sure to watch this Daily Candy video on costumes you can throw together including a Cereal Killer and a Kraft Singles cheese slice. The Today Show also had costume ideas on this morning that can be pulled together last minute, including the Fanta girls.
Glamour has some do’s and don’ts for Halloween, including walking around like a stripper. Hmm. We tend to think that Halloween is the day when you can get away with almost anything but we guess there are still some rules.
And, if you’re having buyers remorse about your Halloween costume, don’t worry. At least you didn’t buy these $400 Louis Vuitton Bunny Ears that Rachel Zoe is in love with. Usually we like Rachel’s picks, even the high end ones, but $400 bucks for ears? Really?
These Shoes Were Made for Walking
Glamour has been keeping an eye on Fashion Week Paris, and has compiled a list of shoes from the city of light.
When we’re batting our lashes at Philly Weekly, which happens sometimes we wonder if that old standby from Maybelline that comes in the green and pink tube is really the best mascara out there. Teen Vogue went ahead and tested and reviewed a mascara a day for an entire month. We wish we could apply for a job like that, but we’ll stick with reading the review for now.
We spotted these next little goodies in Marie Claire, but they’re also available at Foster’s on Market Street. Helpineedhelp.com has cute little packages with bandages and aspirin and antihistamines inside. It reminds us of our childhood when we thought bandaids were so cool that we’d put them on when we didn’t have a cut…or umm…maybe we shouldn’t talk about that?
There’s also a ‘help i’m bored’ section which has cute little links. ‘help i’m overstimulated’ leads to a blank white box, while ‘help i’m too nice’ gives you engines to imitate to practice growling.
Lastly, the Today Show posted a list of over the top gifts from Nieman Marcus, which included motorized cupcakes that you can drive around in. Really. Hoda & Kathie Lee were driving in them during the fourth hour of the show. At $25,000 a pop, we’re running to get not one, but two.
Happy Friday!
Muscely football player types have problems finding pants sometimes. Men’s pants are either euro tight or prison pants baggy, with no in between. A company that was featured on the Today Show this morning, Bonobos is trying to change all that. So, if there’s a boy in your life that can’t seem to find pants that fit correctly, head on over to their site. Their video explaining their mission is pretty amusing as well.
Oprah Magazine is on the lookout for ill-fitting garments as well. This slide show focuses on getting rid of that dreaded visible panty line. Ew.
Stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe has a daily newsletter that highlights her favorite picks. While many of the selections are high end – a recent newsletter featured an Anna Sui Dress for $650 – it also features a ‘Parallel Universe’ section that points it’s way to a cheaper but still cute version. In this aforementioned recent newsletter, an Anna Sui dress from the target collection for $45 was featured. You can sign up for updates on Rachel’s website, which also shares everything you need to know about Rachel, such as the fact that she’s sick after Fashion Week in NYC and what songs are on her iTunes playlist. Perhaps it’s this recent article in New York magazine that’s got Rachel feeling rundown and sick?
Headbands created by students at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and the Laboratory Institute of Merchandising (LIM) were featured in a recent I Heart Daily Post. These young entrepenuers made and started wearing their creations. It wasn’t long until classmates were asking where they could get cute accessories like they had, and Stella Accessories was born.
NBC10’s website has some pictures of celebs that look alike, naked PETA ads, and the new school nameplate necklace. We’re fans – since these new school necklaces don’t feature your entire name, there won’t be any awkward moments where random people know your name. It’s happened to us. We swear.
