You can see many more pictures and info over at the costume site page... by clicking this little link...

Thanks for reading and looking at my "Inspired by Snow White" costume!!

Greetings,
We had a more professional indoor photo shoot planned in a studio, but due to technical difficulties it didn't end up happening. However, I didn't want to waste my makeup and dress....
So I figured why not a snap a few shots in the yard?
Might as well make the most of if it before the rain hit again.
To see more shots and information about the dress click this little link...
However, once with weather turned dark I decided to snap a few shots of my fangs in the house.
hahaha. Yeah.......so there ya go.
That's right. No sparkles in site. I prefer classic vampires.
You might want to put some garlic and vervain at your window tonight....
Have a great day.
Greetings!
I am taking a break from online work and blogging until the New Year.
Movie Costume Mondays will still be coming of course....and the Brielle's Costumes Facebookpage is always updated.
However, I am going to be working on a little project.
A project that has been taking me very long to complete, but is close to being done...
I shall give you only one hint.

Farewell for now my dear readers.
Very Merry Christmas!
P.S. I shall still reply to comments though!
So feel free to leave as many as you like. ;)
Greetings Lords and Ladies,
This has been a highly requested post.
*Disclaimer, I do not think my hair is perfect. lol. far from it, but I hope to help answer a few of the hair care questions I often get. :) Also, I am not paid by Lush or Organix in anyway to advertise their products.
For my hair care I like to keep things simple. Nothing special really.
I don't use heat styling or a blow dryer. Simply because it seems to dry my hair type out too much.
My hair doesn't like to curl at all, but I can easily achieve a natural wave effect by leaving my hair to dry in a braid. So that works when I am in the mood for a wavy look.
But the Mermaid Haircare Secret...is this shampoo bar!
My current favorite hair shampoo is a "shampoo bar" I bought from Lush called Seanik Shampoo Bar. It smells like the ocean, is a pretty shade of blue formulated with sea salt and seaweed..and reminds me of mermaids!
I have been testing this shampoo bar out for 3 months now. I didn't want to do a review on it until I had used it for enough time to actually say if it works. However, after using it for 3 months I can say my hair is in much better condition and it is "bouncier".
Even after using the bar for that long... I still have more than half of the product left. so I should be good for at least another 3 months time.
Lush is a cool company. The shampoo I use is a 100% Vegan, however it does have a small trace amount of "un-natural" foaming agents in it. Everything is made with fresh (mostly natural) ingredients and by hand.
What I like most about shampoo bars is the fact I can replace my regular shampoo/conditioner bottles for a little tin of soap...and my hair feels amazingly soft!
How I use the shampoo bar and hair washing method:
I only wash my hair every 2 to 3 days. I have a more dry hair type, I do get it wet every time I am in the shower, but I usually only wash it with the shampoo bar every 3 days.
- To use the shampoo bar, simply apply onto your scalp and massage in. Rinse with warm water and then rinse with cold water to make your hair shine.
- Do NOT apply the shampoo all the way down your hair. Simply on your scalp. Otherwise it could dry out lovely locks.
- For conditioner I usually use a bottle of organix. I do not use conditioner every time I wash my hair. (I know sounds crazy) I use it every other time I wash my hair. Reason being I have found with the shampoo bar I don't need to.
*in case anyone asks, my hair cut "style" according to the lady at ulta is called "long disconnected layers"...... not sure what that means, but there ya go.
I suggest that if you want to try out a lush shampoo bar to read through all of them to find what might suit your hair type.
Another shampoo bar I really like is this gentle one. If you aren't sure what your hair would like, I would say give this one a try.
So my 5 tips for longer hair care...
If you have any other hair care questions just leave them in the comments and I shall do my best to reply.
Thanks for reading!

Just wanted to share a sneak peak of my Red Riding Hood cape.... I have had SO many requests to make a version of Red Riding Hood's cape, so I thought I would.

Quick picture of the garments hanging up...
Well....my gloves have been published anyway.
Looks like my little alice in wonderland kids gloves have been featured in Parenting Magazine "Glee Fashion: Back to School" photoshoot. ah!! I was rather excited, to say the least.
Here is how it looks on the website...
You can see the outfit from the shoot here or it is in the September issue of the Magazine.
I thought I would take a few pictures of the magazine for you to see.
What do you think? Isn't the model cute?
Here is the shopping guide with my etsy shop address in the magazine.
Here is another shot of how the little gloves looked on another spread of the page.

Greetings,
So my friends and I decided to dress up for a Pirate Photoshoot on the opening night of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. I have dressed up for the other POTC movies and didn't want to break the tradition.
I wore my Brielle's Pirate Costume with Leather Jacket and my two friends wore costumes they put together with ready made garments. So I don't have information on their items.
I had a hard time choosing only a few pictures to include here. We very much enjoyed prancing around like pirates and the weather couldn't have been more perfect for a photoshoot.
If you want to see more pictures, please visit my facebook page.
I am thinking this is more of a "princes" pirate pose below?
Do you dress up for opening nights of movies? I find it makes it much more fun!
Thanks for reading.
