Beauty Pick Me Up – From Sexy To Spooky!

imageObviously the costume itself has a lot to do with how well you can pull off a look or character come this weekend when you’ll be making an appearance at a few spooky soirees. But what really gives a costume the extra ‘oomph’ and makes it truly memorable is the make-up that goes with it.

Halloween make-up is all about going over-the-top and making your look eye-catching and unforgettable! Use dark powders to help contour your face and Halloween is an occasion where the more lustrous and glitzy the fake lashes, the better. Liquid or gel liners help eye make-up stay put all night, and a creamy red lipstick is a true Halloween classic.

Plus, the great thing about make-up and cosmetics, is that you can tone it down and reuse them again for a day-to-day look or a girls night out and many might already be in your make-up bag!

FashionTribes Finds The Perfect Tuff-Gal Leather

imageWhen it comes to leather jackets, forget anything too girlie or love-me-tender. We look to the boys for inspiration, and we’re lookin’ for love in all the wrong places, just like Marlon Brando as Johnny Strabler in ‘The Wild One’. As the swaggering leader of the Black Rebels Motorcycle Club, he’s a boisterous anti-hero who broods darkly, invades a small unsuspecting town with his posse, and causes mayhem – all while looking quite fashionably biker-fabulous.

We have no doubt if Strabler were still raisin’ a ruckus today, he’d do it in some version of this slim fitting nickel-studded, overdyed ‘Harris’ biker leather from All Saints. Crafted from individually-sourced vintage patches, a particularly cool detail is the wire inserted discreetly into the collar for an authentic, chicly crumpled effect.

The SHG – Not-So-Halloween Costumes

imageWhen we were younger, Halloween night was rife with anticipation to don the elaborate costume that had been picked out weeks ahead of time, gather up friends and family and head out to see what type of candy treasures you could accumulate in a few short hours. Nowadays, while Halloween is just as exciting, our days of trick-or-treating have long since passed and are being replaced with themed parties and spooky get-togethers.


While some of us still love to get into elaborate costumes, even more of us may not have the time or energy. But who wants to be the ‘debbie downer’ and show up in a boring outfit while everyone else is dressed in the spirit (or as a spirit!)? Fangs, a wig, intricate make-up and other fun, but time-consuming costume pieces may not be feasible, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still dress to impress and show your love for this ghoulish holiday!


Fishnet stockings, lacy corsets, leather thigh-high boots and other sexy, Halloween-themed pieces are a great way to show up at any Halloween shindig looking festive and ready to party, but can still be used for stylish ensembles for after the holiday!

Get The Winning Look From Our ‘Behind-the-Scenes’ Celeb Poll!

imageLast week, we caught some of the acting worlds most stylish stars filming behind-the-scenes and asked you to weigh in about who you thought was the most fashionable. Gossip Girl is popularly one of the most style conscious shows on TV and this week was truly a Serena vs. Blair show-down, much like we had predicted.

Poor Katie Holmes was shown no love from Hivers with a grand total of ‘not a single vote’. The classically styled Mrs. Cruise impressed in an eye-catching red sheath, but perhaps it was the funky footwear choice of moccasins that turned you off?

Leighton Meester was decent competition with 38% of the votes and was stylin’ in patterned lace tights and a sophisticated black and white plaid coat, plus jaunty beret. Yet, her trendy but girly look of military inspired mix and match patterns was no match at all for Blake Lively’s menswear inspired ensemble.

A cropped and fiitted blazer with trendy contrast piping, sleek tights under shorts, trendy blue suede oxfords and a mens’ tie were expertly put together to create a look that was youthful, modern and cohesive, without being over-the-top and cluttered.
