DIY Princess Anna Costume




The Disney movie Frozen is one of my favorite movies. When I saw it on Thanksgiving last year, I automatically fell in love with all of the songs and the characters. I decided a little while ago that it would be really awesome to be one of the characters for halloween. I am the youngest child in my family and have auburnish hair (Unfortunately my sister does not have magical powers), so I decided that it would only be right to make a costume for Princess Anna. I found that this costume is actually extremely easy to do, so I thought that I would share it with all of you.


Materials:

a hot glue gun
a printer
a black tank top
a long sleeved white shirt (or any color you desire)
gold ribbon
a long blue skirt (I dyed mine blue)
a pink scarf or pink fabric
and a pair black boots


Instructions: 

1. The first thing to do it print out an image of the design. After you have done this, flip the tank top upside down so the straps are on the bottom. Hot glue an image of the design onto the top, and then pin the gold ribbon around the top. This looks very realistic and it's really easy!

2. Now put on the long sleeved tee shirt and pull the tank top over it. 
3. Then put your blue skirt on. Pull it over the two shirts to hide the bottom of them. I added a belt just because my skirt was too big, but you can put ribbon on the bottom or just leave it as it is.


4. Put your scarf or fabric over your shoulders and adjust it to where you want it. Then pin it in the middle so you don't have to hold it the whole day. Feel free to use any pin that you want. Even a safety pin would work!


5. Slip on your black boots and your costume is all set.
6. Lastly do your hair in two quick braids and you have completed your costume!



I am so excited to run around on halloween and ask anyone if they want to build a snowman with me :)

What are you going to be for halloween?

Fall Haul

|     Shirt- Zara     |
|     Scarf- Urban Outfitters     |

It is officially Autumn! The weather is finally cooling down a little in the bay area and I have been enjoying having my warm cup of tea in the morning, wearing my sweaters, and staying cozy in bed. I have also been able to wear some new things that I picked up while shopping.

I absolutely love both of the tops that I bought. They look great with any kind of jacket and they are nice for bay area autumn weather- they have long sleeves and are a very soft material, but not too warm. I also am in love with the scarf from H&M. It is a great addition to an autumn outfit because it adds a hint of burgundy. I can definitely say that this is my favorite season :)

Do you like fall weather and fashion?
