Last Minute Halloween Projects

  • Pumpkin carving can be quite a project.  If you want a last-minute pumpkin decoration for your trick-or-treaters, garb some paint and paint a pumpkin.  It’s less messy & still so adorable!

  • Mummy door.  You don’t even  have to go to the store for this!  Grab some toilet paper and make some eyeballs out of construction paper and voila!

  • Easy Halloween snack:  Nutter Butter Ghosts.  Pick up a pack of Nutter Butter cookies and some white chocolate and mini chocolate chips for the eyes.  So easy yet festive.
  • Last minute costume idea: Katniss Everdeen, from The Hunger Games: Army green pants, leather jacket, riding boots, a side braid. The one prop you may have to find is a toy bow which you can probably find at Walmart!

Hurricane Sandy is on it’s way!  Make sure you stock up on these essentials.  I especially love the portable iPhone charger which you can find online and get it just in time!  Also loving those battery-powered paper lanterns from Pier 1 Imports.. your house will look like you are having a party.. not a power-outage!  Make sure you have entertainment too.. for your own sanity if you lose power.  Board games, cards, magazines, books, etc.  Stay safe everyone!

DIY Halloween Ideas

Halloween is such a fun time of year because you can get away with wearing too much makeup, too short skirts, and any color hair.  This can be a fun adventure & a great excuse to get a little creative!  Out-of-the-bag Halloween costumes can be very cute but sometimes it’s fun to put something together on your own because you know it’s unique.. and you can save a lot of money which we can all use! Here are some ideas.  Have you done a DIY costume before?  Please share! xo

Rosie the Riveter: I love this idea- grab a red bandana & blue collared shirt and you have a great costume & so cheap!

Audrey Hepburn: So fun & so easy.  You may even already have a black dress  to pair it with!

Katy Perry:  You can do so much. Fund a colorful outfit, grab a lolli-pop and  buy a blue wig & you are all set!

Black Swan:  FInd a black tutu, a black top, tiara, and do some awesome makeup to pull this off!

Head Over Heels

My mom has always picked on me for walking around like Godzilla because I walk very hard on my feet.  Although I love stilettos, I end up ruining heels a lot! My favorite shoe is definitely the wedge- they give my petite frame a serious lift and they are so comfortable.  I also try to go for chunkier heels when I buy pumps for the same reason.  What is your go-to heel?  Are you a wedge girl, flats-girl, or stiletto mama?  There are so many options to choose from & I know we all have our favorites!

I was so proud of my perfect pumpkin I found at Trader Joe’s.  With no dents or bruises and perfectlt orange&round!  My fall faves are snuggling with my pooch Zoey, carving pumpkins, and making homemade treats such as those decadent homemade candy apples!  Sock buns are easy & perfect for fall, especially on windy days like today!
