Spooky Season Inspired Outfits #2
Pumpkins are possibly my favorite symbol for this time of year and when I saw this sweater on a new website I discovered called Unique Vintage, I had to have it! I love duster sweaters like this, they are easy to dress up for a day out or dress down for a day at home. This one is so cute and the quality is so awesome! I am going to love keeping warm with this! Sweater: Unique Vintage (Here) Tee: Torrid (Here) Jeans: Old Navy (Old – similar here) Boots: Torrid (similar here)

Spooky Season Inspired Outfits #1
Fall is the start of my favorite time of the year. Last year I purchased a fun Hocus Pocus sweatshirt off of Etsy so I could have something fun to wear during October and while I was shopping for new pieces to add to my wardrobe this year, I went down a kind of themed clothing rabbit hole and picked up some really cute spooky season-themed pieces to add to my wardrobe! I was so excited when I received the items and it inspired me to go through my closet and put together an outfit series to share here on the blog. I have used new and old items in…

Happy Hosting: Halloween Tablescape
For the second installment of my Happy Hosting series, I decided that a fun Halloween tablescape would be so fun to create. As with my Fall Tablescape, I focused a lot on texture. I started with the table covering. I dropped into Joann to see what fabrics they had available in their seasonal section and found this great vintage looking pattern! I also picked up the black and grey striped fabric that was giving me major Addams Family vibes! Once home, I started to lay the fabric out on the table to see how it would fit, I had purchased some of this webbing that people usually use to decorate…

DIY Halloween: Character Blocks
This has to be my favorite craft project of the bunch. These little character blocks turned out so cute! I hope you give them a try! Here’s what you’ll need: Square wooden dowel Acrylic paint (black, white, orange, green, purple) A piece of stick from the outdoors (for the jack-o-lantern stem) Black pipe cleaners Paintbrush Hot glue/hot glue gun Cut 5 2″ pieces from the wooden dowel. To save your arms, I recommend using an electric saw but I used a hand saw for these. Paint each block in a different color. I did two coats on these. For the Vampire, I painted the top black and made brought it…

DIY Halloween: Candle Holders
The inspiration for this project came from Pinterest! I think the glow of candles instantly makes things feel cozy which is what you want this time of year! I used these glass hurricane candle holders that I picked up at the dollar store but a mason jar would work just as well! These flameless candles are from Amazon! Here’s what you’ll need: Hurricane candle holder or mason jar Frosted glass spray paint Black acrylic paint Paintbrush Flameless candle Wash and completely dry your candle holders. In a well-ventilated area (I did this in my garage with the doors open) follow the instructions on the spray paint canister and frost the…

DIY Halloween: Witchy Laundry Line
I love a good holiday banner! I got the inspiration for this cute witchy laundry line over on Etsy! It’s super simple to do and I love the way mine turned out! Feel free to use different colors than me to make it your own! Here’s what you’ll need: Colored felt squares Colored thin ribbon Mini clothespins Twine Paper (for the stencil) Tailor’s Chalk Hot glue/hot glue gun Scissors Draw your templates on sheets of paper. For the dress, I folded the paper in half so that it would be symmetrical and for the collar, I used the neckline of my dress template so it would match when I glued…

As a result, today is the first of four posts sharing a how to of the Halloween crafts I created! First up is these mini block pumpkins! I saw something similar on Etsy…

Decorating for Halloween
If you know me or have looked at my Instagram around the holidays you would know that I LOVE decorating. Beginning in September I get all my fall dΓ©cor out and mix it in with my Halloween decorations! My philosophy with decorations is to ALWAYS go for the bargain unless there is a piece that you absolutely love and cannot live without. The clearance section and the discount bins at stores like JoAnnβs, Michaels, and Target are my jam for every decorating occasion! I also like to do holiday crafts when time permits. I donβt really have a theme when it comes to my decorating, I just use what I…
