Autumn’s a THRILLER

Halloween is here and things get really scarey when you’re surrounded by a sea of white-sheet ghosts and flimsy vinyl novelty costumes. If you think that I’m going to suggest using vintage and antique pieces to spice up your seasonal attire then, you’re right!

However I’m not going to suggest raiding the Salvation Army in search of 1970’s “disco digs” so that you can be this year’s clichĂ© “pimp” (come on that’s so five years ago). There are other ways to wow ‘em!

This month’s pic was taken on an equestrian farm for a music video shoot but the premise is the same. Using vintage pieces like this vintage Christian Dior Hat, feathers and a little hot glue easily transformed a little girl into a giant bird. By the way, rent the movie The Wiz starring Diana Ross and our beloved Michael Jackson. It provides endless inspiration for repurposing what would otherwise be next summer's garage sale fodder.
