There Was A Ghost On Halloween...

How was everyone's Halloween Weekend?  Has it got you pumped for Wednesday?  I saw some terrific costumes on Friday and Saturday night.  Here's a sample of a few costumes that got those finishing touches from Fashion Crimes:

It is I, Melissa, as Betty Boop!  This entire costume was found in my closet, thanks to an ongoing Fashion Crimes wardrobe collection.  The black corset, crini (yes, those are 2 separate pieces but everyone thought it was a dress!), striped thigh-high hose, lace gloves, and pearls are all from Fashion Crimes.  The finishing touch: a Betty Boop wig; I found it in our sale wig bin for $5!!  

 Here is Kat, the lady responsible for our incredible window displays, as Frida Kahlo! She is wearing a Fashion Crimes Holly Boat dress in red impressionist silk, with a gorgeous gold and lucite bangle.  Her finishing touch?  A sexy unibrow!  Only Kat can rock the extra unwanted hair and still look like a babe!

And last but not least, Peter as his dog Fridge!  All Peter had to do to finish off his costume was to pop by Fashion Crimes and pick up a Cat costume set for only $5!!

People!  There's still time before All Hallows Eve, and still lots of great costume deals!  Come and get it!

Have you checked out our latest window display?  It was dedicated to the Toronto International Film Festival, and it's filled with red carpet worthy ensembles.  Come on down to 322 1/2 Queen Street West and see it up close!

TIFF Window!!

To honour the Toronto International Film Festival, the new Fashion Crimes store front window pays tribute to old Hollywood. Creative genius Kat McEwen did a remarkable job in creating such a vision, showcasing our vast selection of red carpet looks. The window is packed with fringe, fur, wildly colourful fascintaors, and copious amounts of shimmery accessories; all that one would expect to see at a glitzy celebrity event. With the legendary Sophia Loren as the backdrop, this window could not be more glamourous. Come in and feel like a movie star! Who knows you might even see one while you're here....

Dream Jefferson And The Fashion Crimes Experience

Toronto-based indie hip hop duo Dream Jefferson (consisting of the equally lovely Corboe and Owel Five) stepped inside the glamorous world of Fashion Crimes for the very first time in the hopes of finding that special gift for the ladies in their lives; their Moms of course! The gentlemen left with gorgeous flower rings each gift wrapped in beautiful satin bags (which is a complementary service here at Fashion Crimes by the way!), but not before paying a visit to the photo area where the talented Peter Tucker captured the essence that is Dream Jefferson. Being a fan myself, I had to join the guys in the fun:
