Halloween Me

Ah, the ubiquitous Halloween post.

One of my ideas for a costume this year is a nod to one of my blog categories – “I die” – a la Rachel Zoe.

How cute would J and I be as Rachel Zoe and her assistant, Brad? J’s still not on board, but I think I’ll sway him.

His best friend, who lives in New York, and his wife are coming down this weekend for the rally. We always try to see them when they’re here, and it just so happens that another friend in the area is throwing a Halloween party. Which I found out about yesterday. Which I’d like a costume for. Cutting it close, my friends.

I’m thinking all I need to buy to pull this off is a faux fur vest and some ginormous sunglasses, though I might have some I can use. I was hoping to borrow some big rings from a friend. I already have some wide-leg jeans. I already have tall shoes. Already have a little beanie beret thing. I’d probably still need a long sleeve white tunic. I already have a ton of draping necklaces. Maybe I could buy some fake eyelashes and red lipstick (which I’ve always wanted) from the beauty shop. And making my hair wavy shouldn’t be too bad.


Then there’s Brad. Too bad J isn’t in to skinny jeans.


I think we’d have to go for Brad circa Season 1, because Brad since then has been way too stylish to even simulate on our Halloween budget.

J would need some skinny jeans, though I might forgo those and let him wear his regular jeans. He’d need a plaid shirt and a bowtie. He’d need some back rim glasses. Maybe some suspenders? We already have hair products.

Though too bad I just stumbled upon this article while digging up the stuff for this post.
