Saturday night, I was rocking my McQueen/ Snow White and the Huntsman-inspired Halloween getup.
Tonight, I’m sitting in my living room, frenetically cleaning and organizing, whilst wondering when (and if) my electricity will go out thanks to Hurricane Sandy!
Ah the curious juxtapositions of life!
For my ensemble, I took my inspirations largely from Charlize Theron’s character à la Snow White and the Huntsman. While I was a studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology this Summer, we did an up-close-and-personal workshop on the styling of the evil queen for the movie. That, coupled with the juicy gossip btw K. Stew and that movie director, fueled my own personal fascination with the film... along with its fashion at large. Finally, the invitations for our Saturday evening Carnival at Sleep No More’s McKittrick Hotel stipulated black. So evil queen it is!
My dress is a new acquisition from 3.1 Philip Lim. It’s actually quite a nice evening cocktail dress, and I am all for recycling your wardrobe for multiple occasions. (I actually hate spending money on over-priced and cheaply made Halloween outfits. I'd much prefer investing in something a bit more versatile and multi-functional!).
As for the rest? Well, it is no secret that I am a fan of Patricia Field’s Halloween selection!!! Now… lets sit back, enjoy the ride, and wait for the high tide to pass us by...
