Fashion Friday: We heart fashion icon costumes and wearing them later too!!!

OK... so Halloween is almost here (1 day! Wooo hoooo!) and we are gonna squeeeeze every last ounce out of it ;). It's sooo worth it right?

A looong weekend of candy eating, costume wearing, disco dancing nights...nothing could be more fun filled. OK there is one thing...an all expense paid shopping spree and vacation to every country in Europe...but at least you know Halloween is a sure thing.

In honor of the amazingly fun day we decided to mix fun and fashion (well fashion is always fun...but we decided to mix costumes and fashion)...and a few of our favorite fashion icons...

We heart dressing up as fashion icons...and you know what we heart even more??? Dressing up like them for Halloween and being able to wear every piece from your costume again and again!

Recessionistas and fashionistas and costumistas UNITE!

Each piece from each Halloween costume is super wearable and muy en vouge for your closets pleasure.

Let's start with the man (may he rest in peace) who single handedly changed music, fashion and celebrity..Michael Jackson.

Here is a great costume inspired by his outfit in the Billie Jean video.

LOOOVE his leather suit and pink shirt!

To create this look...

Grab a pink button up. We love the ones from American Apparel.

And while you are there grab a red bow tie or here's one from Amazon.

Now for the meat and potatoes...

We super heart these leather trousers from Geren Ford.

The cut is perfect and the slightly dropped crotch is a must.

Wear these later with gorge booties or sky high platforms like these from LAMB.

Grab a strong blazer like this fantastically tailored one from Elizabeth and James and you are on your way.

We were so inspired after watching This Is It we wanted to do 2 MJ costumes....to honor his geniusness (is that a word?).

He was really well known for his Military ensembles...he made them sooo popular they are back and more wearable than ever.

Look at this uber easy to wear MB from BB Dakota.

Great fit and details. Wear later with skinny jeans a great drapey top and converse ;)

Nothing says MJ like an amazing pair of gold sequin pants. Here are a super girly pair from Siwy.

Soooo Michael!!!

Pair these later with high Docs or moto boots and an over sized cashmere sweater like this snuggly one from Bloomies.

Now for the amazing shoes.....wait for them...wait....

Right?!?!?!?!?! Perf for the costume and even more perfect with ankle skimming jeans and a blazer.

Hmmmm we just saw that hair on someone recently too....oh yeah! Drew Barrymore ;)

Debbie Harry is another musical fashion icon...her looks have inspired most of today's most fashionable pop icons.

She was the perfect mix of pixie meets punk and blue collar worker meets today's super models (and she did this over 20 years ago!!!!)

This is one of our all time favs from the Blondie singer.

Only DH could pull off a vneck tee as a dress with knee pads and white boots...and look that freaking hot!

Here is a great dress from the leaders of the rad everyday tee brigade...LNA.

Grab a pair of knee pads from any sporting goods store or Target.

Hmmm how can you use these later???

And pair with amazing white boots. Either super high Docs that will still look amazing next summer with a sundress

or these amazing vintage boots.

The icon of all smashion icons...the lady who changed fashion for good.

Not only did she make sun kissed skin cool (they didn't know about skin cancer back then) but she is the reason millions of New Yorkers (and now me) where black as if it was the only color in the closet.

Miss Coco Chanel how we heart thee...sooo much we ordered "How to Speak French" cd's.

The staple of CC wardrobe...besides black...were great trousers. We heart these from Wall Street.

Perfectly cropped to go with any shoe when Halloween is over and the boyfriend cut is oh sooo in.

CC made tweed gorgeous and tiny tweed blazers HUGE...still today!

Thanks Urban for this crazy cute version...sooo Coco!

This would look great with a high waisted mini and cami when you are done being CC.

When most women were wearing heels and corseted boots...Coco was donning men's style shoes to match her masculine aesthetics.

Hello amazing oxfords!!!!!!!!

Please come visit my tootsies! I will even get them polished and scrubbed for you.

Now, no Coco would be complete with out a pile of pearls.

Thanks to F21 you can get a whole bunch for not a whole bunch.

And last but nooooo way least...our fav...our go to gal for style...Kate Moss!

There are sooo many great ways to be the Great Kate but it seems that the one she wants us to remember is her penchant for over the knee boots (before the trend got big and still looked timely and timeless) and skinny jeans.

She is the perfect supermodel. Part rock and roll and every bit sexy and effortlessly glam.

Every piece from your KM outfit will be yours to wear everyday after the 31st.

Grab your fav skinny jeans...

Get a pair of wearable and timeless OTK boots. We love these from Guess.

Not slutty and totally doable.

Pair with a cute vintage tee

(we just steal ours from the boys...well 1 of us has a nasty Ebay habit) from Ebay or any thrift store since you are running out of time.

And Kate's fav, go to piece for the last 10 years...a structured blazer.

Yay Jcrew for your gorge blazers!

Thanks for your cute styling ideas!

Kate is never without her Raybans

so you better grab a pair of fakies at Urban or get a real pair that will last you a life time of wears and save your eyes.

Now if we could only have her face and hair.

Oooops...how did that picture get there....yet another reason to want to be Kate for Halloween...JOHNNY DEPP!

Have fun tomorrow!!!! Be all you can be!!!! Then wear it all again...it makes it way more fun.

xoxo t.w.h.

Fashion Friday: We Hearty Heart SEQUINS!

Oh, Kate Moss... our Goddess of Fashion and all that is good and chic in the world...thank you for this gorge picture and wearing sequins in all their glory!

TGIF! (Thank God It's Friday) and more importantly for us fashion lovers... TGIF!!! (Thank God It's Fall)...as much as we lovelies here at t.w.h are Summer Lovers and Summer Beach Babies...we lurve us some yummy, sumputous and rich Fall fashions.

I couldn't resist!  This is what we here actually get to wear in the Fall!  Sorry!!!  

From the one...the only..the original....Raquel Allegra

It seems like fashion really happens in the fall seasons...and here on the warm side of the continent we get to rock them in all their gorgeous glory! (sorry super cold states :(  we get to be cute even in fall and it usually doesn't involve a heavy jacket).

A few months ago we let out cries of joy and excitement when we heard what was coming down the runways and into our stores...wait for it....wait for it....SEQUINS!!!!

OK...OK... we will try to keep breathing and keep calm...but please just let us have this moment..oh fashion goddesses...THANK YOU!

Now we are uber huge lovers of all that is vintage...especially things from the '70s and '80s so it stands to good...no no...great reason why we are obsessed with all things sparkley and sequined.

For years we have been waiting for this to come back...not that we want every Tommie, Dickie and Harriette to be rocking them, but to have beautiful pieces at our fingertips that we can buy, wear  and save til they are vintage is so divine.

And when Miu Miu put out their fantastical sequined pumps we were brought to our knees...

More more more we pleaded...more!  Give us all you got...so a few seasons later, the storm of sparkle began.

Our patience has paid off!  Every designer from glam to fab and major store that we heart has blessed us with sequined goods.

How gorge is that spotted sequin and leather dress?!?!?!  Ugghhh!!! And that Sequin blazer??? TDF!

Here are a few of our fav sparkly pieces...each one is a piece on it's own.

Mix them up with easy, casual pieces for a "Oh this? ...I just threw this together...Oh really? Sequins are all the rage?  Oh good...then my not trying really paid off " kind of vibe.

Oh wait...there are a few rules for sequins...not many so have fun and wear with reckless abandon...(but just in case you are curious..here they are)

1. Make sure sequins are sewn super close together...almost on top of eachother

This is an example of what not to buy!

2. Do not buy pieces that have the sequins heat set on or glued on or even screened on to look sequin-esque...

Another example of a sequin NO NO

OK, thats really it...just 2 No Buenos and you are GTG.

So here are our fav picks that can be yours too...we left out the crazy shmancy designer ones cuz...come on...we are recessionistas...this year at least ;)

Yummmers Top Shop!  Sequins and Snake?  You had us at hello!

A wee bit cropped but throw a scrumdiddlyumptious A.Wang tank under and tada!  Done and Done!

Cuteness with a capital C!  Loving these black '80s dolphin shorts...although they are not vintage...they are amazing!

How hot with black platform booties or hardcore heels!  Add a grey tee and sweatshirt and your stylish friends wont know what hit them...

Hello Cute ZigZag cami mini dress tunic thingamabob!  Wow go on with your bad self,  XXI (forever 21)

This would be delish over some super opaque black tights and sky high heels!

And speaking of zigzags...as you prob know we are coocoo for zigzags!  This vintage dress does not disappoint..not at all!  So chic and easy and the color way is fab...and sequins!  Yes please!

Oh but PS do not wear with that weird gold belty chain thing.

You know when you search on Ebay and you think...ahhh there is nothing that good...OR ahhh why is all the good vintage uber $$$$...OR why the F does that say "vintage" when it clearly is not...

• Well...here you go sparkle and fashion lurvers...it kinda hurts to post this because we hearted it soooooo much and lost the bidding but here is a great piece we found...

Another Beauty from Top Shop...

This bronzy gold knitted tunic dress is soo beautiful and sexy with out being overly slutty (we love a tweeny bit o' sluttiness the good kind...not the yucky kind)

This dress would be great with tights and under a boyfriend blazer for a Oooh lala Parisian look.

Hello sassafrass!  What a super hotness silver sequined, high waisted, uber chic skirt you have!

Although we may not agree with pairing such a fun and bold skirt with crazy patterned tights...we sure do think its beautiful and would look amazing with nude heels or (again) black tights and heels.

Imagine a sheer almost rose colored tee or tank tucked in and bloused out the top...yum!

We love us a gooood blazer...the more fitted the better.  So imagine how happy we were when we spotted this gorge number from the amazing Madison Marcus.

Crisp lines...beautiful strong, yet soft shoulders with mattified sequins...done and done...  Pair this with a white gown for a huge gala or just a wrinkly white tee and boy friend jeans and you are probably the cutest girl in town.

Easy breezy would come to mind when wearing Free People's gold sheer sequined tunic.  Throw this on under a sheer tee and you would hug us if we were there with you.  There is something sooo interesting about it...

Pair with leggins and converse....oh be still our beating hearts...oh and a denim jacket too...TDF!  

And last but soooooo not least...Gryphon's gold sequin trouser shorts...um hi there fabulousness.  

So bold and so amazing.  Perfect for any occasion (well at night)  

While everyone is in black cocktail dresses (booorrriiinnnggg),  you can rock these with a languid tank or top and rad sky high heels...done and done and DONE! 

Gosh these are good! You know you have it in you to wear the heck out of these!

P.S. There is one more rule...a small one...daytime is when sequins sleep...they really don't like to be up when it's light...think of them as nocturnal

Jinxy! Circa 2004..should have known...

xoxo your gals at t.w.h.!
