Haute Hallowe'en
If you're reading this blog, you're probs into fashion. And if you're into fashion, you likely become giddy every time there's an excuse to get dressed up. Unless...you don't have an outfit for a major night like, say, Hallowe'en, in which case, you start getting the cold sweats as the event nears. Okay, maybe I'm projecting my emotions on to you, but whatevs.
We at FF are here to hook you up right this Hallowe'en. Forget that old nurse's uniform or cowboy costume you were about to dust off once more. You're better than that. Instead, consider some of these little numbers:
Looking Fierce
If you want to be the sex-bomb at the party, look to R&B's reigning queens. Beyonce's getup for her Single Ladies video could be put together with some heels, and a leotard from American Apparel (smokin' body not included).

For a slightly more tormented look, you could try to piece together Rihanna's ensemble for her Disturbia video, although you'll have a hard time finding those $7000 Balenciaga sandals at AA, or anywhere else. Props to all the do-it-yourselfers out there who actually get it done!

As for the fellas, if you want to role rugged, and I mean REAL rugged, give the Michael Phelps look a try.

All you need is a bathing suit, some gold-coloured cellophane, and...oh forget it. Who are you kidding? You can't pull that off. Better to stick with the cowboy duds.
Fashion Hardcores
If you live and breathe fashion, I have two words for you: Karl and Anna.
Get a white wig, a black suit, a pair of shades, and a leather glove, and you'll look more Lagerfeld than the man himself. Note: a strict diet of iceburg lettuce and Diet Coke for the week is advised if you really want to go all the way.

Or...get yourself a bob wig, a big pair of shades, some faux pearls, and maybe a Chanel-style jacket, and you could roll as La Wintour. Plus, it'll give you license to be the biggest bitch in the room, all night long. What fun!

Silver Screen Look
Forget the Joker. That'll be done to...it'll be overdone. But it's not the only game in town. You couldn't be more current than a conservative flapper. Angie's new film, The Changeling, comes out on Halloween night, and in it, she's rocking the best that the 1920s had to offer.
Which is even timelier because the biggest hits of New York's Spring/Summer 09 collections were Marc Jacobs' Mary Poppins/suffragette looks:

And in case you think a Mary Poppins inspired look isn't "scary" enough for you...

...you need simply watch this:
Topical TV
If you want to look slick, and current, go with the television hits du jour.
A quick trip to your local vintage store, and you should be able to pull together all that you need to create your favourite Don Draper or Joan Holloway outfit from Mad Men.

Or you could reach into the back of your closet, and pull out that old prep school uniform you have on moth balls, and recreate a look from Gossip Girl. Just cause it's Halloween, doesn't mean you're not allowed to look stylish.

The Very Last Minute
And let's just assume it's Halloween night, and much to your dismay, you still don't have a costume to wear! Before you reach for that old bed sheet to pull together a miserable ghost costume, consider this:

Miley's Vanity Fair cover shot is topical, teenage, scandalous, and oh so easy. Translation: It'll do in a pinch.
