Hello, October!

Can you believe its October 1st already!?! Me either! BUT I welcome it with open arms.

It's the start of the most fabulous time of year, where the weather is a cooler, your hair stays put a little better, you can add layers upon layers and of course.... wear SCARVES & BOOTS! Oh and let's not forget to mention there is pumpkin EVERYTHING!!! Here's a little humor for ya.... 

There is no escape. Behold the seasonal flavor/terror in Pumpkin Spice: Official Movie Trailer.

With a nickname like "Pumpkin" --given to me because of my love for everything pumpkin-- I found the trailer to be hilarious yet scarily on point! 

And even though the high is supposed to be around 90 today in sunny Florida, I had to celebrate my excitement for my favorite month -which includes our anniversary:} - with my favorite scarf and a piece of pumpkin cream pie!! Yummmm!

So as October officially starts (Rabbits!), here's to cold weather, scarves, boots, comfy sweaters and everything wonderful in the world of Fall!

Easy, cute costume ideas!

Halloween is inching closer and we're all trying to figure out what to be! While I'm still scrambling to put something together, I've created some fun costumes inspired by fashion that might give you a push in the right direction!

Laura Croft: She is a true badass. Her look screams, "fierce" and yet you don't have to buy too much to put the outfit together! Go to Goodwill and look for some old boots, the more "vintage" the better --- if your  boots are tattered, you look more hardcore! Find a black tank or tee, tight, black shorts and complete the outfit with a long braid. Halloween stores should have the rest of the pieces! 

The Sock Hop chick: This is a classic Halloween costume that anybody can pull off. The best part about it.... you don't have to buy a lot to make it work! Find a vintage skirt, (or something fun from your closet) and go from there. Choose a simple top, maybe something off the shoulder, and put a cardigan over it (if you want to add layers). Find some fun accessories like cat eye glasses, a scarf, poodle accessories, and big hair to complete the look!

Tina Turner Chic: Tina Turner is the definition of a Diva - a glamorous and successful female performer or personality- so recreating her look for Halloween is a perfect combo for glitz and glamour! This Forever 21 dress is a great starter piece to work off of. From there, buy sparkly accessories to complete the look you want. Crimp your hair or buy a wig, and you've turned yourself into a full blown diva!

Flirty Flamingo: Flamingos have become a symbol for breast cancer so as October is breast cancer awareness month I thought this would be a fun way to show support AND look super cute.  Find a pink dress to work with (this one is from American Apparel) and go from there! If you love pink, this is the perfect costume for you!

Mother Nature: You could do so much with this idea. Pick a dress or skirt and top and keep the colors blue and green. Add flowers, butterflies, a head piece, whatever you think is earthy to create the ultimate mother nature goddess. 

Whether you're a flirty flamingo or glamorous diva, these costumes are easy to make and you can have fun with it! So before you go out and spend a ton of money on a costume that someone else might be wearing, take a look at your closet and get creative! You never know what you could find hiding away!

Happy Halloween!
