OK so i am cosplaying as Xion from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days!

Here is what she looks like: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/kingdomhearts/images/thumb/a/a1/Xion_Keyblade_Days.png/400px-Xion_Keyblade_Days.png&imgrefurl=http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/cosplay/xion-of-kingdom-hearts-or-haruhi-suzumiya-gothic-lolita/t.54845883/&usg=__78FD33g0WiCYoaqsCZtDaz7ulvo=&h=600&w=400&sz=423&hl=en&start=140&sig2=45NidUq85N5mIjCMDW6jZg&tbnid=8THt-88ueNWqMM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=85&ei=Ug5HTK_qIsWblgeUquGsBA&prev=/images%3Fq%3DXion%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D713%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C2346&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=251&page=5&ndsp=33&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:140&biw=1440&bih=713

I’ve been searching for costumes and such for weeks. For the Organization XIII Cloak, i’ve narrowed it down to 2 choices. I need this costume by Halloween, so getting the money for either one won’t be too easy. The first choice is 90$ and free shipping, however the robe isnt too detailed…(and i know it says Larxene but i can use it for Xion)

The 2nd choice is more expensive due to shipping but i can gather extra money for that (i have a birthday coming up anyways). I like the way this one is made better, plus it comes with the gloves and pants. However the higher price is what is causing me to ponder….

As for the wig, i found one that is pretty good but i’m open to opinions (if they are appropriate) if u kno a better site where i can get a wig (no ebay) then just post the link in your response….

Oh and if i were to get this one should i get Dark Black or Natural Black?

As for the keyblade im making one myself so that’s covered!

I’m not doing contacts either.

On a bridal forum that I use, a woman has asked a question about a Fall Wedding Palette. Just wondering if any of you have any ideas for her.

Her question was this: Does anyone know of any amazing color palettes for Fall/Autumn that is great to help create a ‘posh autumn ambiance’ that incorporates some of the seasons natural hues (such as buttery gold, burnt orange and yellow-green) as well as complementing colors that will stand out against the seasonal backdrop of colors? I don’t want anything overly "traditional" as I want a Gothic element to my overall day. Please Help!! Do you know if there are any great seasonal color trends that are great for the ‘posh dark-romantic’ atmosphere that I want?

What do you all think? Is this atmosphere possible to create? Any ideas?
