Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Trick or Treat?

I'll take the treat please! I'm loving these ideas from Martha..I might make some cupcakes for a party tomorrow!

Invisible Pops

Graveyard Cake

Boo-tiful Cake

Creepy Cupcakes

Brrr..

The weather is getting colder and all I wanna do is snuggle up in my bed..I need a nice thick jacket to keep me warm..these are the top picks on my list this season.

Wool Trapeze Jacket $228.00

Delia's Tristan Peacoat $109. 50

Old Navy Wool Blend Coat $89.50

Old Navy Double Breasted Coat $89.50

I have an obsession with boots, but I don't own a single pair (except Uggs..but those don't count). Every time I want to buy a pair I seem to talk myself out of the price tag. Should I invest in a really great pair that will last me years..or spend half the price on a pair I can probably only wear half the time? Also I can never decide on a style. Do I want heel or flat, slouchy or structured? The lovely shoe designers make this too hard on me!! Help!

If I had the money this is what I would buy:

Frye $402

Frye $352

Louboutin $1,195

Spot The Designer Answer

Answer:

A

Ear Muffs

I love the look of hats on other people but they always turn my hair into a static mess. I want the warmth of a hat without the fuss. I've hesitated towards buying ear muffs because they remind me of elementary school. I found the perfect pair while I was perusing in J. Crew last week.

J.Crew (these are girls..there weren't any pictures of the women's earmuffs)
Ugg $75.00

Posh Shoes

Victoria Beckham has been wearing some crazy shoes lately!

Louboutin for Rodarte

Marc Jacobs

Winner!

Congrats to Leanne..she deserved it!

Uggs

The classic debate: love em or hate em?
I love them..they might not be the most fashionable boot, but nothing beats their warmth and comfort..and that's a big plus in my book when I'm trekking across campus in a blizzard!

Hostess Gifts

My post yesterday got me thinking about hostess gifts for Halloween. These are a few I came up with:

Boo Garland

Halloween Stamps

Boo lantern

Candy Corn soap

If none of these ideas appeal to you, give them a basket full of candy and a festive candle, a bottle of wine, a spooky movie, or another fun decoration.

Gift Ideas

Here are some gifts that any girl would love for any occasion!

Pashmina $35.99

Fashion Cube Paperweight $48.00

Coach Wristlet $68

Chanel Mirror Compact $38.40

A Few Things...

I have this tote in brown and get soo many compliments on it..I use it to carry my books and it is holding up better than my tote from J.Crew..plus it looks more expensive than it is!

Forever 21 $24.80I have a new found love....mod podge!

I turned this coaster...into this! Thanks to my roomie who let me experiment with my new obsession!

I'm working on a Halloween project that I'll post about later...enjoy your weekend!
