Like I mentioned in
last Friday's post, I love having an excuse to dress up in costume. To celebrate my turning 27, I threw a Star Wars party and demanded that everyone come dressed in their
best galaxy garb. These photos are the best ones I could assemble since I didn't have a camera on me the whole night. I dressed up as
Wicket, the most beloved Ewok of all, and my husband (who doesn't like showing his face on le blog) Darth Mauled up like crazy.
Fun times.
My costume was, of course, DIY. I made a fuzzy, scalloped edged skirt and fuzzy ears attached to my orange hood. Matched those with some glitter orange polish, and voila-- Ewok.
How do you celebrate birthdays?
Who did the face painting for your husband, it came out awesome! I know not a thing about Star Wars, but I at least recognized him, lol.
ReplyDeleteHe did! Can you believe it??? He spent a good hour in the bathroom drawing the outline and painting in the details!
DeleteGreat job on the costume!! You are the cutest little Ewok ever:)
ReplyDeleteA blog of life & everything in between!
Nice work! I seriously want to come to your dress up parties. I typically celebrate my birthday with lots of wine and it's fun, but maybe not this much fun.

I'll send you an invite next time! :) I have so much fun doing these costume parties!!!
Delete27th? Ah, to be so young :) Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteLove the Star Wars theme party! I usually gather up my friends and head up to the nearby German bar for some beer boots and polka, but I might change things up this year.
You look super cute! And the party looks like fun! :) I must have a dress-up party before I turn 30 :D xoxo
ReplyDeleteamazing! looks like such a good time
ReplyDeleteYou've got great friends to dress up for your birthday! I love it!
ReplyDeleteAhh it looks like so much fun :) Great costumes, everyone really made the effort! x
ReplyDelete:o
ReplyDeletebelated happy birthday :D!!!
so fun! and girl, your DIY skills are fantastic! <3
I love your costume. My husband doesn't like to be on the blog either so when I use his picture he's either in a mask or I put a smiley face over his realy one.
ReplyDeleteOh that party looks a giggle!
ReplyDeletehaha... so cute and fun, you're adorable. I'm a boring person, I like to dress up but not at my own party, I mean I'm too lazy to organize parties. Happy birthday again!

I ignore them. Just kidding, but I may start after this year. This party looks deliciously fun. I would have definitely been the person having a serious lightsaber fight.
ReplyDeletethere were a few lightsaber fights! It's all part of the partay, right?
DeleteOMG, 27th birthday - oh how I remember those days ;) I am also not a Star Wars fan so none of these costumes ring a bell, but I do have to admit you are one cute Ewok! I tend to lay low on birthdays, I get so lazy as the years go by that I don't want to do anything. Hope you had a blast my dear, and enjoy the youthfulness!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I didn't even know you had a husband (congratulations)! But, to be fair, I haven't been reading your blog very long. This looks like a ton of fun. Thanks for sharing! And Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteomg, you guys are so cute!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun birthday party! :D
These photos are adorable! Your ewok costume is fantastic, and your hubby makes for a great Darth Maul. I love costume parties, but even more so I love having friends that SHOW UP for costume parties :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS! Can I live near you so you can invite me to your themed parties?? No one around here does that. You look so cute!
ReplyDeleteYes, please! I love it when people are actually game to dress up!
DeleteHow awesome!!! I want to go to a themed party where everyone is forced to dress up!
ReplyDeleteI am a meanie and use the FORCE to FORCE them to dress up. :)
DeleteLove it you look so cute! Ewoks are my fav too they are just so adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou're glowing in the last picture. Geekalicious!
ReplyDeleteAww so cute! :) You guys looked like you had a ton of fun! :) I don't really celebrate much, one year I would love to be swept away to Paris though! ahahaha xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat costume luv! The last dress up party I went to was Halloween in 2010! I was a rubix cube haha. I love the little ears on you, very cute :)
ReplyDeleteTalitha xx
Haha aww, omg you look so adorable. I love the theme and I love ewoks, I call my boyfriend "Ewok" and go by "Mrs. Ewok" sometimes on sites I don't want having my real name. I usually celebrate birthdays at restaurants with friends and booze but I think I need to incorporate cute costumes this birthday! Happy Birthday once again!
ReplyDelete<3Honeysuckelle
Looks like a badass time, love your Ewok costume! Happy belated bday to you :)

What Lola Wants
What fun! Your Ewok costume is so stinkin' cute! The scalloped hem was a nice little touch :)
ReplyDeleteI can't remember a birthday party of this caliber. Haha, is that bad? I usually keep it low-key, but you're making me want to scheme up something grand. Or, that at least involves costumes.
Happy Birthday again, Laura!
That's SO FUN!! Your outfit is so cute! I love costume parties- Unfortunately I am in the minority when it comes to this and none of my friends ever throw costume parties!
ReplyDeleteLaura, there's a little award for you in my blog, if you just want to grab it ;) xoxo ♥
ReplyDeleteah! so awesome! everyone dressed up really cool. love your costume haha looks likea fun party. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :))

Laura, trust you to come up with such a fun idea for your birthday! Aw, and all those friends! To be young again, my heart sings! You look adorable in your costume! Love the photos! :)
ReplyDeleteAaah I love it! You look so adorable, and I love the furry skirt. So excited to see everyone get so into the theme, nothing makes me sadder than a non-costumed person at a costume party!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all happy birthday! :) WOOOHOO haha
ReplyDeleteSecond, I don't feel bad saying this because you call yourself one all the time.. but you're such a nerd! But in a terribly cute way of course!
You're the only person I "know" who can dress up as wicket and still look cool :) haha
hope it was wonderful!
Ummm, Laura. Obi Wan is a hottie! I'll give you both nail polishes for him. LOL Happy Birthday Girl! You look adorable and I love the idea of dressing up. I always think that's fun. Glad you had a fab time. :) I definitely don't remember Obi Wan being that hot in the movie. LOL
ReplyDeletehttp://averysweetblog.com/
I'll be sure to tell him that, Kim ;) I don't think he'd like to be traded for nail polishes, though, Dior or not! haha.
DeleteThis is awesome Laura! I am so glad you enjoyed your birthday celebration and everyone's costume looks fantastic! My birthday is 4 days after the new year so I never do anything... Well does shopping count?
