DIY Halloween Costume: Kris Humphries

Newly wed Kris Humphries can be found hitting the gym, playing ball or alongside his fashionable wife. We take a shot (no pun intended) at helping you dress like him this Halloween. 

1. Sweaters: a signature piece in Kris's wardrobe, we have seen him numerous times wear a sweater with a V neck detail or button down in grey, brown or black. 
2. T-Shirts: crisp white V neck or black are the way to go. For a more evening look, pick a white long sleeve (pictured above) from Shop Moderne. (Roll up the sleeves if you feel too dressed up) 
3. Converse: all black converse sneakers or regular are a must.Kris likes to stay comfortable and classic. 
• To pull this outfit together be sure to wear dark jeans and add a hat. If you want a more suave look add sunglasses. 

Good luck gentlemen!

You can find Kim front row at Fashion Week, on a red carpet or sitting court-side at a Nets game.

It was only rightfully so we bring you a do it yourself Halloween post on the two love birds. Keep reading for a few examples and tips! 

Kim knows how to dress her body and stays true to what looks best on her. Keep the pointers below in mind when putting your ensemble together. 

First Look

1. Body Con Dress: I can strongly say more than half of us have a dress like this in our closets. A Herve Ledger's lover, Kim displays her assets even while covering them. This dress is perfect start for your costume.
2. Blazer: a signature staple in Kim's wardrobe, she always ensures they are structured pieces yet fit to her body.
• To tie the look together add nude heels and a set of over the top earrings. 

Second Look

1. Romper: if you want something more comfortable for the night yet grasp her look, wear a romper like this Charlie Jade  paired with some black booties.

• Don't forget, Kim usually sports luscious locks, the bigger the better.

Last Minute Halloween Costume Idea Perfect For Every Fashionista

Halloween is less than a week away! I know, I can't believe it's almost November!
Anyways, every year I either have friends or find myself searching for the best Halloween costume for a last minute Halloween party.

If you are anything like me, you don't like to recycle and re-wear your Halloween costume... but, you don't necessarily want to spend a fortune on an 1 night outfit.

Not to mention, with less than week to put together the killer look - you don't have time to do the necessary prep for a ''sexy'' costume.

Here's the BEST LAST MINUTE HALLOWEEN COSTUME for the fashionista:
RACHEL ZOE
With her signature style - and reality TV show popularity, this is bound to be a hit amongst all the fashionistas!


The picture pretty much sums up Rachel Zoe's style but here are the accent points:
-Fur (faux fur) vest
-Long tunic style top
-Wide leg dark denim
-Killer, monster platform heels - the higher the better (recycle the stripper shoes from last year's 'sexy' costume here)
-Huge cocktail ring on pointer finger
-Bangles galore - the more the merrier
-Lightly curled, tousled, messy hair down
-Long necklace
-Dark colored nails
-Double Venti Starbucks cups

and of course her key phrases aka ZOE-isms used through out the night:
"I Die"
"Ba- nanas" - emphasis on the BA
"Kills it"
"Shut it down"
"On a whole 'nother level"

Affordable, trendy, and best of all, you'll look amazing w/o having to be half naked or wearing some ridiculous blood make up.

PS- not to mention you can recycle this outfit for everyday wear... beware that Zoe-isms are uber catchy so you might continue the "Ba-nanas" and "Shut it down"...

Happy Halloween!
