Last Minute Costume Ideas

October 30, 2008 @ 10:30:56 am by by Katie

Maybe the man in your life wimped out on your “Bacon and Eggs” costume, or maybe he’s too devoted to emulating Christian Bale’s rendition of Batman this year for a themed couple’s costume to work—either way, you’re stuck for a costume idea and Halloween is tomorrow (eek!).

Fear not! Visit one of your favorite (and most affordable) neighborhood stores to whip up one of these fab costumes in no time:

  • Pick up a preppy blazer, a ridiculous headband and some killer heels from Forever 21 to turn yourself into one of the stars of “Gossip Girl”


  • Run to Target for one of Isaac Mizrahi’s glamorous little black dresses to transform yourself into Audrey Hepburn


  • American Apparel offers a fantastic array of DIY costumes, so be sure to check out the website before you stop in at the store to turn yourself into a laundry basket, 80’s workout star or skunk!

  • Dash in to Barnes & Noble to pick up a book by your favorite author, and then dress up like a literary celeb as suggested in this great Los Angeles Times‘ blog post!

    I love the Hepburn themed dress. I would wear it on a daily basis! Also, the literary idea is perfect, original and easy. I bet a lot of people will dress up as some political joke. It is going to get old.
