Well, that may be true, but to get the best Halloween costume, you need to shop early since costumes are already starting to sell out. Plus, if you're buying your costume on the internet, you want to make sure you recieve it in plenty of time to make any needed alterations or size exchanges.

Vintage Couture

We stumbled into SveetCouture.com after receiving a fashion tip and, boy are we glad we did! Sveet Couture's products range from designer vintage frocks to handcrafted belt buckles and bag. Products change all the time, since each item is a unique vintage gem, so go check out what they currently are offering! At last glance I saw a gorgeous vintage Oscar de la Renta dress for $15, sassy peep toed pumps for $15, vintage tapes made into belt buckles for $5 - $7, swingy skirts from $10 - $30 and so much more vintage goodness.

The prices are very low for such great items and each purchase is obviously handled with great care and pride by owner/designer Chanda Sweet. We ordered a cassette tape belt buckle and it arrived with a free handmade pin cushion, a disount coupon and the buckle was packaged professionally and wrapped in cool tissue paper.

Celebrity Jewelry

As we all know, celebrities greatly affect trends, fashion and fads. One of the most popular fashion trends is celebrity jewelry. But, since not many of us can afford the latest $2.2 million ring that Paris Hilton is sporting or the gorgeous jewelry that celebrities showcase on the red carpet, we're happy to have found Fantasy Jewelry Box! Fantasy Jewelry Box offers the latest and greatest celebrity jewelry at amazingly affordable prices. And by no means does "affordable" mean "cheap". The difference between FJB jewelry and typical fashion jewelry is the quality of the product. This celebrity inspired jewelry is made from only the finest .925 silver, cubic zirconia, 14k gold, etc. It is real jewelry! We purchased the following products and were absolutely blown away by the quality and beauty of the jewelry we received:

We purchased this imitation of Nicole Richies art deco inspired diamond and pink sapphire engagement ring. To recreate Nicoles $75,000, 6.5 carat, ring, Emitations uses the highest quality Cubic Zirconia and .925 sterling silver and, let me tell you, this ring SPARKLES!

We also purchased this Hawaiian kukui nut necklace with black ribbon. This excellent quality necklace features genuine kukui nuts and black wooden beads strung on a black suede cord and accented with a black ribbon. If this trend hasn't hit you yet, you NEED this necklace. This and similar style necklaces have been spotted on Jessica Simpson, Tori Spelling, Lindsay Lohan, etc. Price: $19.00

We also picked up this 2.5 carat imitation of Trista's engagement ring (For those of you that don't remember, Trista was the star of "The Bachelorette").
