Get the Look: Mad Men Style.

Halloween is just around the corner which got us to thinking about cute costume ideas! In the past, we have always gone for something more on the "costume-y" side but this year we are thinking about dressing up more as characters instead. When we started brainstorming character ideas of course our minds instantly went to our favorite show: Mad Men. So we thought it would be fun to compile a list of costume essentials for the lady characters!

...And let's be honest here, who isn't looking for an excuse to Mad-Men-yourself?

To get Betty's look you will need:
a set of hot rollers, a vintage pearl necklace with a matching set of earrings, flared false eyelashes to create her signature doe-eyed look, a pretty sundress, and of course a glass of red wine in hand.

To get Joan's look you will need:

To get Trudy's look you will need:
a beautiful turquoise sundress, a sun hat with a matching hang bag, big sexy hair root volumizer, stila liquid eyeliner to create her signature cat eye look, and a set of pink manicured nails with a big (fake) diamond wedding ring sitting on your finger!

What about you, do you have any fun Halloween costume ideas up your sleeve?
