Coffee..

Good Morning to you :)

I'm just sitting at my desk sipping coffee out of the cutest travel coffee mug ever. Thought I'd update my blog for the few faithful readers <3

 So have you checked out my "This or That Tag" yet? I wouldn't blame you if you started and couldn't sit through the whole thing...22 minutes?? That's the length of a half-hour TV show without the commercials! I edited that poor video to death but just couldn't squeeze anything else out of it. I guess I'm a lot like Blair Fowler in that way..I tried to talk less, but it's just not me! I'll try to make them shorter in the future, but it just takes practice, haha. But I really enjoyed talking about all of the questions!

 I have a few ideas for upcoming videos, and I'm gonna do a poll on this blog to see which ones are the most popular..after my next video or two, I'll link the blog in the video so more people might see it! Let me know any thoughts, and thanks for watching/reading/commenting :) Much love!

Hula Girl Video!

Hello everyone! 

Lindsay here, and I've been trying to keep up on videos and blog posts among other responsibilities. Laer Couture doesn't have many viewers, subscribers, or blog readers yet, but we're trying to get some good stuff out there to attract more of them! 

     So at any rate, the most recent look I did was the hula girl. I love this look! The only part that I didn't think was up to par was the grass skirt made out of the garbage bag and streamers..but as I explained in the video, it should definitely be layered to get the full grass skirt effect and not be able to see your pants underneath. But I wasn't going to waste multiple garbage bags to show that, especially since I probably won't use it again. But if you want to be a hula girl for Halloween, the garbage bag skirt is an inexpensive and resourceful way to make a costume :) The makeup is super simple, and inspired by the tropical flowers and scenery in Hawaii. Leis are very cheap and easy to find, and I'm pretty sure everyone owns a solid colored t-shirt and a pair of flip-flops. Be creative, get inspired and have fun! Happy Halloween!

5 Last Minute Costume Ideas! (Late)

Hi guys!

Hope everyone liked the "5 Last Minute Costume Ideas" video that Lindsay did! This post is over due, but here are some pictures of the 5 looks. :)

Look #1: Nerd!



It's simple, just a few accessories that you can find in your own home! 

Look #2: Ninja!


This simple ninja look requires just a few things, a black shirt, (preferably turtle neck) black pants, black shoes, and a black shirt to create the head-piece...and don't forget your black gloves like I did! This look was much inspired by Michelle Phan's ninja look and pretty much the easiest Halloween costume ever. Check out her explaining how to create the t-shirt head-piece thingy-ma-bob! 

Look #3: Hairstylist!


This isn't a very popular look, but I think it's cute and original :) Just have an apron with pockets, a few hair tools, and some aluminum foil! 

Look #4: Eskimo!



I love this costume! Where I live, it gets pretty cold in fall, and we (my cousins and sister and I) always have to cover up our cute costumes with a big coat! Not with this look :) The makeup is super cute and unique, and the costume just requires any snow gear that you most likely already own! Not to mention, you'll stay comfy and cozy warm all night long.

Finally, Look #5: Cowgirl!




This is probably my favorite look of the video, and it can work on any age! I think the freckles give it just the right touch, and the makeup is very soft and girly. Add your cowgirl hat and lasso rope, and you're ready to go!

I hope you enjoyed these fun Halloween looks! Last minute costumes like these can be a life-saver, and I hope they help you out :) Check out the video on our channel to see more in-depth explanation of any of these costumes!  http://www.youtube.com/user/laercouture?feature=mhee#p/u/1/K5J_H00KV1Q
