Last Minute Halloween: Elaine Benes

We all caught that Gawker article, right? You know, the one that said the Elaine look, that is the slouchy, blazered, socks 'n' loafers, ankle grazing skirts & big hair look, is back. Well if they're correct you must have all those duds in your closet already, no? So scrunch up your hair, the bigger the better, toss on a long floral dress & slip into your best pair of oxfords & you're got the perfect last minute costume! Bonus points for a chompin on big fat cigar, toting a J. Peterman catalog, & doing the Elaine dance.

Last Minute Halloween: Cher Horowitz

Did you lust after Cher's crazy wardrobe software as much as I did? How amazing would it be to flip through your laptop to pick an outfit?! Cher was so before her time. So maybe you don't have crazy outfit curating computer programs, a personal masseuse, or an A-what-ah ... I mean an Alaia but you can easily channel Cher for Halloween. Break out that 90s school-girl plaid that's been lurking in your closet & toss on a fuzzy angora sweater & knee socks. Or shimmy into a dress so tight only Calvin Klein would claim it. Bonus points for French manicured acrylics, neon green gum, a flip phone & shopping bags!

Last Minute Halloween: Annie Hall

If you're like me, you debate your Halloween costume until the very last-minute. There are so many options! You can be anything! So many choices overwhelm me. So this week I thought I'd share a few of my last-minute costume ideas. I bet most of this stuff is tucked in your closet somewhere anyway.

Shop the boyfriend's closet for Annie's laid back 70s look. Grab some high-waisted trousers, a tie & a floppy hat & you're set. Bonus points for bringing along a tennis racket, a camera or a lobster!
