This vampire obsession just keeps getting bigger. The other day I heard about Robert Pattison undies—so gross! HBO’s True Blood jewelry is more up my alley. Granted, I’d never pay this much for jewelry that resembles blood and has a fang-like clasp but it’s pretty cool to look at.

ttF Daily Fave: Shutterfly Halloween Sale
I heart Shutterfly. It’s the easiest way to send special cards and make personalized books. Right now they’re having a Halloween sale on prints, mugs, calendars and more. I sent out greeting cards for Halloween of my Lady Bunny Bug. And I’m thinking of creating a 7×9 photobook at 50% off before the offer ends on November 4th. Plus, you get free shipping on all orders over $30 if you enter SHIP30 at checkout. Happy Halloween!
ttF Daily Fave: Pumpkin Carving
My friends just invited me over for some pumpkin carving and I must say I’m pretty impressed with what we came up with. Since I’m having a masquerade Halloween party this weekend, I went with a masked Robin, Jason and pirate jack-o-lantern. But my fave was the tri-skeleton gourd on the far right. How amazing did it turn out?! FearNet has some pretty cool ideas and stencils if you want to have a Twilight pumpkin carving party. ‘Causes everyone wants a glowing Edward in their living room, right?
ttF Daily Fave: Yellow Feathers
Two years ago, I attended a Snoopy runway show at Bryant Park during Fashion Week. I fell in love with the outfit Project Runway’s Laura Bennett created using Woodstock as an inspiration. I instantly knew what I wanted to be for Halloween.
I bought a corset at a vintage shop and yellow fabric paint, glitter glue, a glue gun and bags of yellow feathers at Michaels. I painted the corset, outlined the boning with the glitter and glue gunned feather fuzz at the bust. For the skirt, I used an old cotton stretch mini that had three tiered layers and spent hours glue-gunning feathers one-by-one. It was worth it. I adored my costume.
The feathers came in handy that week. I glue-gunned them to cardboard to create wings for my dog, Bunny; I used them to make my friend’s daughter a last minute costume so she could enter a contest with me and Bunny in West Hollywood (we won!); and I glue-gunned them to bedazzle masks for my masquerade party.
And the yellow feathers keep flying: Just yesterday, I put them in my hair for an impromptu Pocahontas costume!
Behind-the-Scenes at MAC’s Halloween Makeup Shoot
The Los Angeles Times published a step-by-step tutorial on how to get the aquatic, Lady Gaga and vampire looks MAC senior makeup artist John Stapleton and MAC makeup artist Jae-R Tuason created. They have some very impressive shots, but I also took a few myself behind the scenes.
Keep reading to see the gallery and if you want to get your makeup done too, call your local MAC store and make an appointment. It’s $50 for most Halloween makeovers.

ttF Daily Fave: MAC Makeup Artist John Stapleton
A friend recently asked me to be a model for a MAC shoot that was creating different Halloween looks for The Los Angeles Times. I gave you guys a sneak preview last week and now the whole feature is up online. MAC senior makeup artist John Stapleton, who created my vampire look—as well as the aquatic look—is truly a genius. Enjoy!
And make sure you come back to ThinkThruFashion tomorrow for a behind-the-scenes look of the shoot.
