Halloween Location Looks: 31 of 31 – Clueless

My month of DIY costumes shot in front of the actual shooting locations continues!! The final look is here and it comes from a movie that made me want to move to LA. Today’s costume comes from:

I love this movie. I quote this movie rather often, so when I decided that I was going to do a month of DIY movie/TV show costumes and shoot them in front of their actual filming locations, Clueless was #1 on my list. I have needed to see Circus Liquor in real life!

Elton drops her off in the liquor store parking lot because she's not into him like he is...

...and she's not into the Cranberries like he is either!

To create her outfit, you can easily make the jacket using a red and black feather boa and a red blazer. I found mine at Goodwill for $3! I cut the boa to fit around the cuffs of the jacket as well as the collar and hot glued it in place.

Then, all you need is a red dress and you're transformed into Cher Horowitz!!

I made it!!

I didn't go to a val party first...

...but I ended up at the same place that Alicia Silverstone went right after!

She gets held up, eek(!!!), but as soon as the mugger asks her to get down, she just can't comply. "This is an Alaia!!"

I've found someone who loves her clothes as much as I do...

My dress  is by a "totally important designer."

I love Cher Horowitz!!

My final and favorite costume of the month!!

Now the question is, what are you wearing tonight????

Halloween Location Looks: 30 of 31 – The Big Lebowski

My month of DIY costumes shot in front of the actual shooting locations continues!! Day 30 is here and it's on my list as one of my favorite Coen Brothers movies. Today’s costume comes from:

There is nothing cooler than Jeff Bridges as The Dude.

This opening scene is the best - he's in a Ralphs grocery store, wearing his iconic robe, drinking some milk. Like you do...

I had to hit up a local Ralphs to recreate this fun scene.

The things you'll need for the perfect dude costume are...

1. Robe (mine is from Overstock.com, but anything in the brown family works like a charm!)

2. Beard (this one is c/o Party City)

3. Sandals (I used a freebie pair I got on a flight, but love these $15 Okabashi sandals!)

4. Sunglasses (I'm wearing my prescription ones, but these work as a cheap option!)

Let's go to Ralphs!

I grabbed my robe and headed off to the grocery store!

I grabbed that milk carton and brought out the Dude!

Employees were restocking while I wore my robe in the dairy section. It's LA, there's crazy stuff everywhere, so nobody blinked an eye!

I tried my best to recreate Jeff's incredible facial hair.

Nothing like a fake beard to really feel like El Duderino.

Thirty looks down, one to go!

Halloween Location Looks: 29 of 31 – Pretty Woman

My month of DIY costumes shot in front of the actual shooting locations continues!! Look 29 is here and it comes from one of my go-to, rom com, Julia Roberts favorites. Today’s costume comes from:

This movie always makes me happy. It always makes me want to take baths.

Rodeo Drive and the Regent Beverly Wilshire both play crucial roles in the film!

I mean "Reg. Bev. Wil" anyone??

It's right in my backyard, so a quick jaunt to Rodeo was totally going to happen.

I DIY'ed my dress from the film using a tank top, turquoise spandex fabric, and a shower curtain ring!

1. Tank (Hanes are my fave!)

2. Fabric (I grabbed a 1/2 yard at Joanns)

3. Shower ring (I borrowed one from my shower - you can also snag them here!)

4. Blonde wig (this one is c/o Party City)

5. Black boots (Mine are thrifted but you can score a budge-friendly pair on Amazon)

Let's head to Beverly Hills!!!

I grabbed my dress and hit the streets!

This dress was a pretty easy DIY...

I layered some necklaces and bracelets to really get the Vivian look.

I also love that Vivian was a total DIY-er. How about taking that Sharpie to her knee-high boots to cover the scuffs?

Total genius.

Unfortunately, I did not get a room at the Regent Beverly Wilshire...

...nor enjoy strawberries while watching I Love Lucy.

I also avoided getting "work it" called out to me :)

Such a fun (and easy!!) DIY to pay homage to one of my faves.

Twenty-nine looks down, two to go!
