Mimi Reaves recreates the costume of the kick-ass Babydoll from Sucker Punch.
I've compiled a few How-To projects that I think illustrate Babydoll's style in a more modern fashion. In the movie, she fantasizes herself in a badass schoolgirl outfit made of denim, so I included mostly denim for the clothes. Her colours tend to be light and sometimes dull, and she only really wears pink and blue. Her accessories are very minimal and her shoes are simple. If she was living in our time, she would probably use lip scrub every day. The main focus seems to be on her eyes, which are accented by winged eyeliner, silver eye shadow, and heavy false lashes. I've topped it all off with a key necklace like the one that helps her escape. Thanks for viewing and have fun! :)
Zoe, aka English Ginger on CO+K, puts together her dream DIY Room:
I always choose neutral pale colours for my main furniture and have unique items that gives the room a pop with bright colours. I love making my rooms have a personal touch like showing off my memories from instagram and decorations with mine and my boyfriends initials on. I'm always busy with university and travel often so it's great to come home to a cosy, fresh looking room

Juli from Just Pepperminty recreates the costume of Willy Wonka from Charlie & The Chocolate Factory for today's Halloween DIY The Look:
Ever since I was just a little girl, one of my very favorite movies has been Willy Wonka, his eccentric style is a great part of his personality and I think most all of us could agree that he played a part in making bow ties cool!
Rachel recreates the costume of Sherlock for this week's Halloween DIY The Look:
Sherlock Holmes enjoys maintaining a very sleek look. He has his moments with interesting costumes, but his fallback is always a jacket, nice pair of slacks and a well-tailored shirt. I included a project on how to tailor a shirt and pants and how to make a necktie. With the right fabric, these pieces could definitely mimic him. I also included tutorials for his intense curly hair, dewy skin, watch, and scarf. I added some elements relating to the series: maps, the United Kingdom, books, and science, which are some of his many passions. Overall, I love how it all goes together.
