Halloween Costumes: Movie Queens & Vintage Style

MMMMMMM, so whatcha gonna do about Halloween?<br />Yahoo recently listed top costumes from movies, and these are very fun, easy to compile personalities. Starting at the top:<br />Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) in "Breakfast at Tiffanys"-- OK, we know that one: neat black dress, necklace, gloves, big glasses and hair worn up. You can't miss by checking out our 'little black dress' collection. Surely something there will fill the bill!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6iurlxYa2df09IlajZYzxG50Zrkn8di7Vp9cP-nzKjaYRHyFMdz3YOxQq3H24CKsjm9j9jFPAl25ptHzFYVC9qSWem094IDfh4wjCVVNR5AZEXHtpUgKk3POvy60fBjqIEAIuOj38zrf-/s1600-h/audrey+photo.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257234401777276642" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6iurlxYa2df09IlajZYzxG50Zrkn8di7Vp9cP-nzKjaYRHyFMdz3YOxQq3H24CKsjm9j9jFPAl25ptHzFYVC9qSWem094IDfh4wjCVVNR5AZEXHtpUgKk3POvy60fBjqIEAIuOj38zrf-/s400/audrey+photo.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><br />We go next to Liz Tayler in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". Who can resist the opportunity to wear a vintage slip in public, and looking great to boot! Our slip rack has been stocked, just for your sulty southern belles.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRkgWwkjppmbMpuxP9rsdGD7bW7Km1gv4w_bAct90hbyo5dyIE2OdKxgDZOESZqyVSQx0Uw-7fQMnQU4gvAsgXz3BHRTQuy9JEE_Vh_fC6cYn8ZVyVEHe1Ltz_OXqiofN9il5Bwz2Zk23C/s1600-h/elizabeth_taylor_cat_on_a_hot_tin_r.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257235320187818626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRkgWwkjppmbMpuxP9rsdGD7bW7Km1gv4w_bAct90hbyo5dyIE2OdKxgDZOESZqyVSQx0Uw-7fQMnQU4gvAsgXz3BHRTQuy9JEE_Vh_fC6cYn8ZVyVEHe1Ltz_OXqiofN9il5Bwz2Zk23C/s400/elizabeth_taylor_cat_on_a_hot_tin_r.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><br />Beyonce in "Dream Girls" really plays up that 60's fantasy right. You can take your pick of sexy cocktail dresses, and find the one that fits best. Add some sequins, and WOW!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgorhq352MGgtpBy0hWbmhU0iSyCCJsm_v-x_WeiPAphRaBv-voTIzv2ZQguvYnzOPH85uzHi3UdXHqLrVTe1uueEKh1tG1uvXBII7j4NzWE6EAtC_O_AVA7VJlipr1HeHa9zF2wjCg6K-O/s1600-h/dreamgirls.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257236271623769810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgorhq352MGgtpBy0hWbmhU0iSyCCJsm_v-x_WeiPAphRaBv-voTIzv2ZQguvYnzOPH85uzHi3UdXHqLrVTe1uueEKh1tG1uvXBII7j4NzWE6EAtC_O_AVA7VJlipr1HeHa9zF2wjCg6K-O/s400/dreamgirls.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><br />Now, what about Lucy, as in "I Love Lucy", or any of the other 1950's types: dress with petticoat, apron and an attitude (or maybe June Cleaver is more your type).<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga51j2gKepnB87KQhSnch2JMXX8kgEmjZsI1K_177ly8ZXdW8nDPmXl5iDNr5MT8v2LSmiwyEg4T965YCnUJ2vOIWgnGMQ1-twI2TvejdFjAH2LUY6oyGzFDxl0s3v4qwdBtFWlNkF1GKt/s1600-h/aprons.2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257238053558146722" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga51j2gKepnB87KQhSnch2JMXX8kgEmjZsI1K_177ly8ZXdW8nDPmXl5iDNr5MT8v2LSmiwyEg4T965YCnUJ2vOIWgnGMQ1-twI2TvejdFjAH2LUY6oyGzFDxl0s3v4qwdBtFWlNkF1GKt/s400/aprons.2.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><br />Happy Hunting, we are ready to get you dressed and out the door in no time!<br /><br />Yahoo article: http://food.yahoo.com/blog/foxyfestivities/8814/the-10-hottest-costumes-that-aren-t-played-out

Don Loper & a Green Silk Jacket

An open mouth gape at the pure luxury and blatant exhibitionism of the collar.<br /><br /><br />It encircles the neck like a scluptured cape. With dramatic notches far back near the shoulder seam line, it is truely regal in the crown shape of the crescent shaped roll line around the shoulders.<br /><br /><br />This masterpiece was designed by Don Loper. Probably better known now for his appearance on "I Love Lucy" during the mid-1950's, where he presents a showcase of his fashions, and poor Lucy is morose, unable to wear fashion, having a severe sun burn.<br /><br /><br />Don Loper had a brief career as an actor during the previous decade. His resume reads like a survey of TV and film positions. There was little in Hollywood that Loper didn't give a try to.<br /><br /><br />But it is the glamorous fashions he created that put his name on the map. Working with the best textiles, he demonstrated a skill and understanding far beyond what might be expected from someone with a lack of training or mentorship.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4feixFWsX6f-qpGRVd08lu2YEO1Kd57-S4OSzFlZCe6W30lulC3Wqgi5TrGeYbiku1BGDxWPVOQrGK1I54nE0GjJjs0m8PG2Cn5HOdSNYnzaX3BV6JGcEQTVtp0h6J6nMlXKcLq87aio_/s1600-h/don+loper.+green+jacket.back.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="462" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184899480851429874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4feixFWsX6f-qpGRVd08lu2YEO1Kd57-S4OSzFlZCe6W30lulC3Wqgi5TrGeYbiku1BGDxWPVOQrGK1I54nE0GjJjs0m8PG2Cn5HOdSNYnzaX3BV6JGcEQTVtp0h6J6nMlXKcLq87aio_/s400/don+loper.+green+jacket.back.jpg" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 308px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 378px" width="407" /></a><br /><br />This simple green jacket, with its small bodice and 3/4 length sleeves from the mid-1950's departs from the norm in a way that sets it apart from just about any other jacket of its era.<br /><br /><br />To copy this would be quite a challenge, but the result might be fantastic.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiOSqRK-SDU702K_cFQnZfS4rlgktXj1bQzX3C7vPcDei5pfEMNrtoxZTeb4Sv3Ae5OUXZPdXUfINIgzqeDb3c4d5u7HeNGMHrcgUJRi3SCndiGHFZngDpmHzERHsLWrNXxUm6htSVEjZy/s1600-h/don+loper.label.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="171" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184899485146397186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiOSqRK-SDU702K_cFQnZfS4rlgktXj1bQzX3C7vPcDei5pfEMNrtoxZTeb4Sv3Ae5OUXZPdXUfINIgzqeDb3c4d5u7HeNGMHrcgUJRi3SCndiGHFZngDpmHzERHsLWrNXxUm6htSVEjZy/s400/don+loper.label.jpg" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" width="314" /></a>
