DIY Bold Halloween headpiece: Dead by scissors

If you still have no idea on how to dress up for halloween maybe i can help you.
I went to an halloween party last night and i had to prepare a scary outfit in just one day!
I went to this party with my friends and instead of picking everyone a costume we dressed as a group. We have been "the crime scene" being keen on investigations tv series. I was the victim found dead, two of my friends were the cop, another the pathologist. I characterised the costumes with just some accessories. My costume had two pieces: the crime scene band wrapped around a little black dress and around arms and a bold headpiece: the scissors headpiece.
For the police band just take a yellow plastic roll used to cover books and slice it in stripes. Now with a permanent black marker write: "Police line do not cross" and "crime scene do not cross" or something similar like we have seen a lot of times in detective tv series!

I'm going to tell you how to make the bold headpiece in no time:
you will need:

• plastic salad tongs

• silver spray paint

• black permanent marker

• red permanent marker

• a plastic transparent paper

• an headband

• transparent multi purpose glue
  

buy a pair of plastic salad tongs (every kitchen tool with handles similar to scissors will work, this is what i found) and cut away the fork and spoon part with a hacksaw.

Now refine the borders you have just cut cutting them between 30° and 45° these will allow you to place the scissors over your headband.

Now we want the scissors look real so we need to paint the handle part in black and the cutting part in silver.
Now cover up the handle part with some paper scotch and then spray the cutting part with the silver paint on both sides. It dries pretty quick then unfold the scotch and with the permanent marker color the handles in black.

Now it's time for blood. Take your transparent piece of paper and the red permanent marker and draw the contour of a water stain, how you imagine that fluid would spread on a surface, something like this. Draw a form that will cover most of the headband

fill it with red and then cut this form.
Now take your headband and glue the blood form over it. Put 2 or 3 points of glue and press the red piece over the headband.

Now take your scissors and place them just a little bit opened over the headband. Place them a little far from the center of the headband. Start opening the scissors and at some point the angled part of the border you've cut will match the curvied headband. Now with some patience glue the scissors over the headband.Wait a couple of hours and then when the glue is dried add other glue at the base of scissors.
And you're done!
Now you have your bold horror headpiece!
It made itself noticed in the party,absolutely!
Hope you enjoyed it!

Angelo Marani s/s 2011:playful young and fresh

I really enjoy this Angelo Marani collection, it's fun and really colorful.
There are really interesting pieces put together and a lot of variety.
Even if the main inspiration of the collection are the 80s we find a really elegant lace 50s swimsuit.

We have the pleated skirt we've already seen in Versus Versace collection by Cristopher Kane.

Then the coloured leopard print in jumpsuits and in the duo crop top with belly button exposed (from the 90s) and shorts.

It's not over we have leather too in a yellow black dress then leather vests and trousers.

I love the details of borders: the swimsuit seam is scalopped, the black yellow dress has a curvy seamed leather corset and the white corset has a laced up kind of belt sewn over.

Then there are a lot of sequins and oversized blazers.

If you're afraid of getting annoyed with fashion easily this collection is for you!
