It Was A Simi Light & Cloudy Morning

You know how those ghost stories around the campfire always start with "It was a dark and stormy night"? Well that was my morning, except cloudy instead of stormy and simi light instead of darkness. And because it was so "spooky" eveeryone on the freeway were driving like 5-10mph and stopping every few feet. Literally took me an hour and 4 minutes to drive 8 miles. That's LA for you.

I could have taken the streets, but I thought it was more fun to be part of the group :)

Life Should Be A Party

Saturday night was the first night of Halloween for me :)

Very last minute (as in a text came in 4 hours nefore the party started - which is like telling a female she's late). So I scrambled around trying to throw together a fit out of 10 other outfits to get the perfect costume...FAILED. So I hit Party City.

Found a ton of cute items but of course being a girl, you want to look GORGEOUS, not scary - even though it IS Halloween lol. I messed around with the idea of 4 fairies, 2 angels, a pinup girl, a nurse, a cop and an army girl...so difficult being a girl :)In the end I went with one of the classics: "Angel of Death". Which really was just me wanting a reason to wear my cute tutu and corset in the same fitting lol. So I threw together my black tights (like), my black tutu (love), my black corset (double love) and the black wings I got from Party City (LOVE!) I was going to throw the fit off with some neon pink hair, but for the time restraint I had, thought natural would be best :) OH!! And a last minute find....glitter eyelashes! Wonderful.

Of course before hitting the party, we have to bring some party favors. So, we stopped at our local 7-eleven :) It was so fun to walk into the crowded mini store dressed up head to toe while everyone wore there casual 'let's go to the bar' clothes...pedistrian lol. I was feeling cute.

The party was a blast and turned out to be a bit of a reunion - got to see old friends that I haven't seen in months, even years! Danced to 4 million songs, stood in line for 2 hours to pee (just to get told there was a secret bathroom that my girlfriend and I could use...great). It was a blast.

Looking forward to the rest of the month :) Only thing now is I HAVE to get more outfits. Hoping to make some of my own; I'll share if I come up with anything.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN :)

Pumpkin Vase Flower Arrangement {in 5 minutes or less}

Pumpkin Vase Flower Arrangement

{in 5 minutes or less}

When a talented friend of mine told me that she uses those fake pumpkins from craft stores to make flower arrangements and table center pieces, I knew I had to try it out for myself!


Aside from the fact that the flowers from my garden are almost dead, I am still in love with the end result. Just imagine when I buy fresh flowers for this arrangement!
Ready to make your own?!


SUPPLIES:
Fake carvable pumpkin {purchased at Michael's}

Small vase {from Dollar Tree}

Steak knife for carving

Flowers from your garden or from the Dollar Store


I made one white and one orange pumpkin - not sure which one is my favorite yet.

Just like you are carving a real pumpkin, cut out the lid - be sure the opening is large enough to slip the vase through.

Place your vase into the center of the pumpkin.

Add water to the vase

You only want the flower {not the stems} to show in this arrangement - so trim down the stems. And then arrange your flowers - THAT'S IT!!!
