   In preparation for our OPEN HOUSE, happening on 18-19 MARCH  at our warehouse, Elsa decided to go through her closet & decide on what items she's like to sell at the event.  There are so many pieces in our closet that never get worn, either because they need some work, or because we just don't like them anymore.

THE BOO! EDIT

HALLOWEEN COLLECTION Spooky season is upon us! This year, we're focused on making Halloween costumes out of items that we already have, and that we are able to wear all year long. Here at Pink Attik, there's nothing we love more than getting the most wear out of a piece that we possibly can! Instead, we decided to keep it simple with the outfit, and instead focus on hair, makeup, nails, and accessories in order to achieve the look we want.     Here are some of our ideas for costumes this year, and the good news is: you can shop all these items right here, on Pink Attik, this Sunday!  DISCOVER HOW WE RECTREATED THESE LOOKS THE PINK ATTIK WAY...
