Halloween: Help!

This year, I have major Halloween plans - a big event to attend (which all my local readers should come join me at–more on that soon!), awesome friends to share the night with, and, of course, costume plans.

The problem is, I’ve been given too many options. I don’t know what to wear!

My top three contenders:

I’ve narrowed it down to a Desperate Housewife, Pink Bunny, or Ally Capone (hello, cuteness!) - complete with appropriate wigs and headgear - all courtesy of Shirley of Hollywood.

Shirley of Hollywood’s Top Five Tips on Halloween Costumes

1. Accessories! Like any outfit, it’s all about accessories. Shirley of Hollywood Halloween costumes come with all the special touches that make for a hauntingly memorable look. For instance, our Little Miss Muffet costume comes complete with a lace up dress, hanging spider, cotton hat cap, a ribbon tie choker and spoon, while our Roman Emperor costume comes with tunic, cape, breast plate, golden leaf crown, imitation leather ciraso and sword!

And you can add you own to finish your look - like long satin gloves, boas, bling, boots & vintage shoes, and fishnet or sheer hosiery.

2. Connection to Pop Culture. Costumes that connect to current pop culture and trends are always a hit, which is why Shirley of Hollywood’s Sexy Pirate and Captain Crook his and her pirate costumes are so hot this year, following on the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

This year, keep your eyes open for pirates, rock stars, Roman and Casino Royale looks, French Revolution, Desperate Housewives-inspired characters, and of course, the ever-popular cowboy and cowgirl ensembles.

3. Wear Wigs - Wigs are a great addition to any Halloween costume! They really help ignite the fantasy of taking on an alter ego for the night. Shirley of Hollywood offers a range of wigs in all colors and lengths.

Plus, a wig can be worn any time of year.

4. Try Couples Costumes - Shirley of Hollywood has great his and her costumes — from French Majesty and Miss Antoinette to Musketeers, Pirates, Queen of the Nile and Roman Emperor, Cop and Inmate and Man of the Mansion and Hippity Hop hot bunny to Cupid.

Dressing up as a couple can be just as much fun as the party!

5. Emphasize Comfort. Approachable textures, breathable fabrics, and body-clinging yet functioning materials will encourage party goers to live it up past midnight.
