Halloweens Hero: The Princess

Every little girl dreams of being a princess. We all grew up watching Disney's classic fairytales where we would be transported to magical balls perfectly poised and dressed to the nines. Though a princess represents beauty and grace, they represent the better nature of man. Every princess is kind giving and good. One might say they are like moral compasses for the modern day lady. 
It may seem mundane but they have had a major influence on the women we grow up to be. It's important to celebrate the people, fictional or otherwise, that make us who we are today. The princess like any whimsical fictional character is so much more than what she seems. The greatest people and things in life are taken for granted, a mothers love, a babies smile, or a simple act of kindness, all looked over but worth so much more. The value of a princess is in her ability to leave the world a better place. 
Some would say Princess Diana was a living representation of the ideal princess, she lived, loved, and gave greatly. We can't all be princess Diana but we can, in our small way, emulate what Diana, BelleCinderellaSnow White, and many others stood for. This Halloween let people see your softer, sweeter, graceful self because you are a princess. You carry the same attributes and gifts that princesses carry. Happy Halloween and live as brilliantly as the princess you are.

The Roaring 20's: Halloween With a Touch of History


The roaring 20's was a time of decadence, freedom, and albeit illegal free flowing liquor. The prohibition had struck a society that wanted to escape from the weight of WWI and do nothing but party. I think we can all relate to the roaring 20's escapism. That's why we have such a “roaring” time each time Halloween comes around. It's our time of abundance and partying each year.

What better way to embody what Halloween is all about than with a costume cut from the cloth of our forefathers and fore-flappers. Our history books are stocked with bundles of gangsters like Lucky Luciano, who was dubbed the father of modern organized crime. Halloween has to have some element of something scary doesn't it? Nothing is scarier than the original Godfather.

If you love books, why not have an homage to the flappers in “The Great Gatsby.” There is nothing sexier than a flapper. The freedom that the underground scene lent to women in the 1920's lead to much more freedom in style and expression. To freely express yourself you sometimes have to get a little silly and have a little fun!


Sarah Wallner, CEO of Musotica.com and celebrity stylist says, “History informs the styles we have now. We are constantly changing minor details but the base of the style goes back to a defining period in history. The 1920's was defining for mens and women's fashion. It opened the floodgates for a new era of fashion.”



The defining nature of the era makes it so interesting, fun, sexy, and a perfect fit for Halloween partiers. Nothing is cooler than a bad apple from the big apple or a flapper looking for a dance party. Where ever you end up on Halloween night, show up in style.

The characters, fashion, and rich history make the 1920's a wonderful time to celebrate this Halloween, luckily the booze will be legal (and drink responsibly). Happy Halloween!

How To Make Your Halloween Costume Pop

The simple answer is accessories. It's all in the care and attention to detail to the little things that makes a Halloween Costume over the top. Sarah Wallner CEO of Musotica.com and celebrity stylist says, “When you wear a costume you're telling a story, if you're dressing as Poison Ivy you want to have ivy leaf leg wraps, it's in those details that a character really comes to life.”


Every story has it's elements and accessories like the elements of a story are integral to the telling of tales. Annie Oakley would be nothing without her gun and an Indian Princess wouldn't be regal with out her headdress. Accessories keep a costume fresh, alive, and unique.

Wallner says, “Hollywood is all about the business of telling stories. In order to give full justice to a story every element has to be paid attention to. Much like writing a book, creating a costume, is an art of putting multiple elements together. ”


The more you want to make your costume pop and truly tell a story, the more you'll want accessories. The character of a costume can be defined by the simplest thing, such as a pair of secretaryglasses. The type of hat being worn can speak levels to who a person is. With this kind of craft and care into story telling.






As the old saying goes, “The devil is in the detail,” every part of your costume counts, especially the parts that are missing. The addition of a choker to your sexy school girl costume can define what type of character you are. Each detail is like an integral part of your story, who you are, what you're saying, and how you say it.

What's the defining feature for your Halloween costume this year?

Halloween's New Sweetheart: Alice in Wonderland

“Alice in Wonderland” is one of the landmarks of English literature and a huge influence in modern popular culture, that's why Musotica.com has released a new line of sexy “Alice in Wonderland” Halloween costumes.

Sarah Wallner, celebrity stylist and CEO of Musotica.com says, “We're going down the Rabbit Hole this season. With the new “Alice Through The Looking Glass” film coming out in 2016 it's time for us to celebrate the unique and quirky tale with some unique and quirky Halloween costumes.”
The line features two of the most beloved characters Alice and the Mad Hatter. Wallner says about Alice of Wonderland, “Alice is the quintessential sexy costume, she's a fantastic character and a recognizable one as well. We wanted to transport people into a different time and place.”




Wallner says that, “The Mad Hatter was such a great opportunity to bring in interesting patterns and colors in a sexy creative way. My favorite feature of the Halloween Costume has to be the hat. The exaggerated top hat not only captures the character but has a slimming effect because of the contrast to the normal size of the wearer.”
