Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Halloween is all about getting dressed up and celebrating the spooky goodness. And hopefully by this point you have all figured out what you are going to dress up as. But if not, I'm here to help! Personally, I still have no idea what to wear while handing out candy to all the kids in the neighbor hood. But, I have a feeling this list of last minute easy costumes from Real Simple is bound to help me (and you) figure out what to wear!

• A green clown wig + a schoolgirl outfit = Broccoli Spears
• A plastic laundry basket with holes cut out for legs + white balloons + a shower cap = Bathing Beauty
• A white dress + a pipe-cleaner halo + leaves in her hair and “dirt” on her face = Fallen Angel
• Black clothes + yellow electrical tape down his torso + toy cars + Velcro =Highway
• A pig nose + a blanket = Pig in a Blanket
• A blue T-shirt + cotton balls + tape + a water gun = Partly Cloudy With a Chance of Rain
• A polo shirt + khakis (or madras shorts) + a name tag = Jay Crew
• A clear umbrella (preferably dome- shaped) + party streamers or metallic ribbons = Jellyfish

My personal favorite is the jellyfish! So, what are you plans for Halloween? ARe you staying in and handing out candy like me or heading out on the town? And better yet, what are you goign to dress up as? I'm dying to know!

This Week I Feel...Spooky

Happy Halloween! Almost. Halloween is exactly a week away and whether you are throwing your party this weekend or on Monday, it's time for a little inspiration for your spookiest bash yet! Set the spooktacular scene with spider webs draped over all the surfaces in your house. Turn off all the lights and light the way by candlelight. My favorite part about a Halloween bash though is all the creepy things you can do with your food! I love that skull wrapped in prosciutto and the viles filled with red shots and labeled as blood. Even better, the cupcakes with shards of "glass" and dripping in "blood"!  How are you celebrating Halloween? Party or Trick-or-Treating?

Party Essentials {Halloween}

Halloween is a week from Monday which can only mean one thing...Halloween Party! And while I'm giving you all the Halloween inspiration you need on Monday, today I wanted to give you my Halloween party essentials. No matter if your party is meant to be scary or just fun, here's what you need! 

{1} Green Light Bulbs: Whether you put them outside or in, they give off an erie glow perfect for the occasion. 

{2} Eyeball Martinis: Thank you Martha Stewart for supplying me with an ever so creepy but utterly delicious Halloween favorite! 

{3} Candy Corn: Clearly everyone's favorite treat of the season. It's a total must!

{4} Giant Fuzzy Spider: Spooky and unrealistically large. Perfect to scare, but not to bad.

{5} Pumpkins: Duh. What's Halloween without pumpkins? Carve them for outside or use them as centerpieces or maybe even as an ice bucket! 

{6} Dry Ice: Need I say more? It gives off a spooky smoke so tease your guests by icing their eyeball martinis with it.

{7} Spiderwebs: To go with that giant spider of course! 

{8} Skeletons: Personally I prefer black, glittered skeletons that hang on my front door. But, if you can manage to make them look like they are climbing up your building, then props to you because that looks pretty cool!

{9} Black Candles: Because white ones just aren't creepy.
