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.)

Theme party inspiration: Edie Sedgwick

Author: lilisokey
I thought I'd dedicate a few posts to what I've worn to recent costume parties, and what inspired me.
First up, Halloween. One of my coursemates held a Famous Untimely Deaths house party. I went as the glamorous Edie Sedgwick (other guests included John Lennon, Cleopatra, Lord Kitchener, Marilyn Monroe, Steve Irwin etc).
Here's some of my inspiration:

I also watched The Factory Girl. The storyline was a bit of a mess, but I was surprised at how good Sienna Miller was in it. Plus, the wardrobe and make up were to die for.

And here's my look on the night:

I want to move into her wardrobe and spend my days playing dress-up.

Inspired by Audrey Kitching

Author: lilisokey
Introducing my new favourite fashion blogger: Audrey Kitching. Just her hair itself is enough to make me get a total girl crush. I love my own pink quiff, but her long hair is just about the prettiest thing in the world. In addition to that, she's all about DIY which to me is super inspiring. And how perfect is it that she has a boyfriend with blue hair! (I love guys with blue hair. And yes, I've met several.)Oh, look! Manic Panic Cotton Candy Pink hair dye - that's what I'm using! And a Lime Crime lipstick. I'm so tempted to start using false lashes. I know they're a pain, but they make eyes so very pretty. And it seems like in the UK they're nearly a must on a night out. It's like half the girls are wearing them! Pictures from audrey.buzznet.com/user/journal
