Style.com gives you a DIY tutorial on how to make jeweler Eddie Borgo's studded pumpkin.

Supplies:

Pumpkin
Carving knife and spoon
Jewelry studs (Borgo recommends studsandspikes.com or M&J Trimming)
Krylon matte black spray paint

1. Pick your pumpkin at the local market. Borgo likes his medium-size, symmetrical, and round.
2. Empty out the seeds and pulp and begin to carve the face.
3. Try to accentuate the cutout shapes by studding around them, pushing the spikes into the shell of the pumpkin. Borgo likes to start with the eyes, followed by the nose; the mouth comes last.
4. After the face is completely studded, use Krylon matte black spray paint over the whole pumpkin to make it deep, deep black. View More......

Mama's Bday

I'm down in Jersey for the weekend cause today is my Mom's birthday. I had no idea what to get her this year, so I decided to take her to the Chanel counter for a makeover and got her a whole shitload of new products. Who wouldn't want that? Happy birthday, Mom.
