ABOUT ME

My name is Mariam, but everyone calls me Mimo. Check out my Instagram @MimoKitty Come say hi =) To me, fashion is not about price tags or brand names. Fashion is about personal style, taking risks and feeling completely confident in what you are wearing.

Queen Cleopatra & The Joker

HAPPY HALLOWEEN MY LOVELY GHOSTLY READERS! This Halloween I wanted to be the beautiful Queen Cleopatra. I didn't want to buy a complete costume package from store because I didn't want to bump into someone who was wearing the same exact costume as I was. Actually, I opted for putting together my own costume! I just bought some accessories from party city like the head dress coiffure, the black wig and the gold snake that is wrapped on my neck. The Black long dress, I've bought it from a store called pretty girl and the gold cuffs are from forever 21. I tried on everything and felt like something was missing, so I finally decided to make the shoulder pads to make the costume a little more interesting. I bought the materials from a nearest local fabric store and sewed the elastic sequin trims all around the edge of the shoulder pads. Finally, the make up was also by me. We went to a halloween party at this cool place called 230 Fifth Rooftop Lounge. You actually get the most spectacular view of the Empire State Building. It's AMAZING!!! On the 31st, I dressed up as the Joker from The Dark Knight Movie and took my little bro trick or treating who was wearing a Batman costume. I thought It would be cute for us to walk around like that lol...I hope you all liked my costumes . X.O.X.O

SATURDAY OCTOBER 27 HALLOWEEN PARTY CLEOPATRA

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 31 TRICK OR TREATING THE JOKER

THESE WERE MY TREATS LOL

Looking back into some of my old halloween costumes:

LADY GAGA face off LOL back in 2010

I've also made this whole Lady Gaga costume myself.

I used black faux leather leggings, my black Armani Exchange real leather fitted jacket, feather collar from forever 21, I bought the silver beaded chain from a 99 cent store and decided to wrap it all around me. I had an old black feather boa and took some off to glued it onto my face. It looked pretty cool =D

I also made LADY GAGA set of claw nails.

The blonde hair bow wig got it online and the silver glitter microphone bought it from party city.
