Theme party inspiration: Daisy Buchanan

Author: lilisokey

Happy New Year, darlings!

For NYE, I was invited to a party at a friend's house. The theme was Filthy Rich, and being the literature nerd I am, I chose to dress up as Daisy from The Great Gatsby. By the way, how excited are you for the Baz Luhrmann film that's meant to come out next year?! With none other than the lovely Carey Mulligan in Daisy's role. I for one can't wait.

Here's where I got my inspiration. Plus a load of articles and YouTube videos on '20s makeup. (So far there are no photos of what I myself looked like, sorry.)

Two other theme parties that I'm going to in the next two weeks are the classic "James Bond" and the far more original "Come as the object/person/animal you suspect will cause your death". I have absolutely no idea what to wear for either.

Theme party inspiration: Bellatrix Lestrange

Author: lilisokey

This one was for another coursemate's birthday party.
Thinking about it, this was actually my second Harry Potter themed party. The first was when I convinced my brother to have it as the theme for his 12th (I think) b-day. It was sometime between the 4th and 5th book came out. I was Rita Skeeter.
Following the trend of choosing strong, powerful and nasty female characters with an original look, I went as Bellatrix. And fortunately I have a flatmate with a ton of sexy goth clothes, so I had no problem finding a costume. (The other guests were Harry, Draco, Dumbledore, Luna, Mrs Norris and (Sexy) Dobby. Good times.)

Her style: Emma Pillsbury

Author: lilisokey

Emma is seriously annoying me now on Glee [although now that I’ve watched the newest episode “Bad Reputation” my feelings have slightly softened]. At first I liked her, but after a while you grow tired of the cute quiet girl with no self esteem even if she does have some serious issues (trust me, I of all people would know. I've been that girl). But there’s no denying that her wardrobe is amazing. She’s all about skirts and bows and pearls and brooches and flowers… and colours! Aw. Props to the costume designer Lou Eyrich.
