I started this morning out with some good old fashioned TV fun! KTLA invited me on the show this morning to do a segment on DIY Halloween costumes as found on Pinterest.

Two things you should know going in … 1.) I am total geek for holidays, so this was right up my alley 2.) I LOVE Pinterest.

I re-created the most popular costumes on Pinterest, gathered up a few of my School of Style students as models, and got to crafting! Special thanks to JoAnn Fabrics, Overstock.com, American Apparel, and Big 5 Sporting Goods for the providing the tools to create these DIY costumes.
