Ring In The New Year In Style!

Happy New Year

Well we made it through the Christmas holiday and now we’re heading straight into the biggest party holiday of the year, New Years Eve! Everybody is making plans for which parties to go to, which dinners to attend and which friends you want to spend the last day of the year with. If you’re past that “party” all night stage then sitting at home with a nice bottle of wine watching the ball drop on tv is the perfect place for you. However, there’s nothing like a wild and crazy costume party on New Year’s Eve to say goodbye to the old and welcome in the new year with family and friends!

Ring in the new year dressed as your favorite Hollywood star, a character from your favortie movie or perhaps even a superhero. The possibilities are endless! Make a political statement and dress up as a president (past or present). There’s plenty of crazy politicians out there that you could dress up as. Take the humorous route and portray a famous sports figure that made headlines this year…Tiger Woods instantly comes to mind!

Be the life of the party and try out a sexy costume from Halloween Express! Make the guys notice and the girls jealous by making this a New Year’s Eve party to remember! And don’t forget the accessories…never underestimate the power of a mask and cape!

 

Spring Is A Wonderful Time For A Princess!

Cinderella Child Costume

Cinderella Child Costume
Last weekend my daughter decided to throw an impromptu “Princess Party” in our backyard with some of her friends.  Even though it was very last minute it was amazing how many princesses showed up ready to play. 

It was Disney comes to life in our backyard with Cinderella, Snow White, Tiana, Belle, Jasmine and the Little Mermaid all running around having fun.  I thank all the mom’s that had to dig through their child’s closet just to find the accessories that make a princess costume complete.  We know how important the tiara’s, white gloves and sparkling shoes are to a princess. 

 

I think every little girl has at one time or another worn a princess costume.  It’s the way of the “little girl” world that from the moment they’re born, they become a princess.  With all the great Disney shows on television and on the big screen each with their own happily ever after, it’s no wonder little girls fall in love with the idea of being a princess. 

Thankfully the spring weather was absolutely perfect for their Princess Party.  My husband draped sheets across the swing set giving them a palace to retreat to when lunch was served.  After a while they decided to have a princess parade down our street showing off all their beautiful costumes.  My daughter thought it was the best Princess Party ever!

Accessories Make The Costume!

Finishing Touches Accessories

Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! No wardrobe is complete without accessories. They can completely change the outcome of the look your going for. With the right accessories you can go from drab to fab in a heartbeat!

The same goes with costumes. Superman isn’t a superhero without his cape; a child can’t pretend to walk on the moon without his astronaut boots and where would Dorothy be without her ruby red slippers?

Finishing Touches Accessories

Costume accessories range from wigs and hats to nunchucks and knives. Every superhero and warrior has to be battle ready and every princess has to have the perfect crown.

So this year when you’re picking out your costume whether it be for Halloween or just for fun, don’t forget the most important part of any costume; accessories.

Celebrate In Mardi Gras Style!

Mardi Gras Costumes

Wow there is so much going on in the month of February; Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, President’s Day and the one we just missed – Groundhog’s Day (although that would be a hard one as far as costumes are concerned).

However we all know that the biggest party holiday of the month is definitely Mardi Gras!  There are celebrations, parades, costumes, decorations and parties, parties and more parties all over the country, but none bigger then in New Orleans.  How cool would it be to hang out at the French Quarter and Bourbon Street during some of the crazy festivities.  The Mardi Gras Carnival season actually started back on January 6th, but the grand finale is Mardi Gras Day (also known as Fat Tuesday) on February 16th.  

If you can’t make it to New Orleans this year then bring Bourbon Street to you!  HalloweenExpress.com has everything you’ll need  from wonderful Mardi Gras costumes and elegant sequin masks to those infamous Mardi Gras beads and boas to make your party one for the record books!

Don’t let this February 16th pass you by without throwing your own Fat Tuesday party!

Here We Go Again!

George Washington Mask

Well, here we go again with another year of adult costumes, kids costumes, teen costumes, tween costumes, pet costumes…well you get the picture!  2010 will be fun and exciting with great accessories and decorations to make every holiday, party and family get together one to remember.

I was filling out my calendar and checking out all the big and small holidays that are coming up in February; Valentine’s Day, Groundhog Day, Presidents’ Day and George Washington’s birthday.  Now those are some great holidays for costumes! 

Presidents’ Day costumes and masks are a big hit in February.   Ask your history teacher if you can put on a play displaying your school’s patriotic side.  HalloweenExpress.com has everything you need to make a really cool shout out to America’s history from the years of former President George Washington to present day President Barack Obama.  

Start checking out the website now for your holiday costume needs.  Believe me, you can never have enough costumes!
