Halloween Party!

I was Belle from Beauty and the Beast. And yes that is a little kids costume.

 This year come hell or high water, I was going to have a Halloween Party and hand out candy to trick or treaters. So I invited a few friends over to dress up, BBQ, and watch The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown(twice). There were plans to watch Ghostbusters, but it got too late. I ran out candy pretty fast, I was surprised there were so many kids in my neighborhood.

My friend T did a post on her blog about all the fun we had, take a look here.

I know Halloween has been over for a while now, but I've been super busy with work. What did you do for Halloween?

Fill In The Blank Friday: Autumn

1.   Nothing says fall like      pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, and well just pumpkin everything  .

2.   My favorite autumnal tradition is   going to the Corn Maize. This year it was in the shape of Buddy Holly and we tried fried snickers and had roasted corn      .

3.  My favorite fall treat is   pumpkin chocolate chip muffins    .

4. Fall makes me think of    college     because    In the fall we would sit on the dock at the lake house and play acoustic guitars and smoke cloves   .

5.  Autumn free form word association, go!    pumpkin, knitting, coffee, scarves & boots .

6.  My go-to outfit in the fall is     a cardigan or blazer with a band tee, cut off shorts, tights and boots   .

7.  My favorite fall holiday is (Halloween or Thanksgiving)    Halloween because dressing up and eating candy is fun and with Thanksgiving I don't get to really celebrate because of my job (it's always a stressful time of the year for me)  .

My Life As A Teacup

Today I did a little guest post over at My Life As a Teacup. There you can find a little Halloween DIY with the embroidery patterns I made.

Also on the agenda today was hair cuts. My husband needed a hair cut so bad...he had some kind of wolf boy hair (and not in the Teen Wolf kinda way). I just needed a bang trim, since my attempt at straight lines failed...

Now it's back to watching my Korean dramedy (that's comedy/drama...netflix told me).

Fill in the Blank Friday

1.   My current obsession is      Sailor Moon manga and how to get my hands on it and Paramore t-shirts...oh and finding my halloween costume  .

2.    Coffee      make me happy.

3.  My greatest strength is   my super hearing   .

4.     Puppies    are my kryptonite.

5.  My life is    exhausting. I have lots of stuff going on right now and not enough time in the day. I could use a timeturner .

6.  In high school I was     a cheerleader and no one ever believes me   .

7.  When I'm super tired    I take my glasses off and rub my eyes a lot and say 'dear lord' kinda like Giles in Buffy  .

Halloween Costume: Coraline

 This year for Halloween, I had my heart set on going as Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. I was having a hard time wrangling up a worthy costume. Then it came to me to go as Coraline! This year I am having a tiny Halloween Party at my house, and my biggest goal is to have trick or treaters! This is the first place I've ever lived where I could have trick or treaters, but I've always had to work Halloween night. I'm super excited and I wanted to dress up as something maybe some of the kids would recognize.

 I didn't realize until researching this that the movie was based on a book. I can't wait to get my hands on it and creep myself out.

 I can't decide which outfit I like better?! So tomorrow I am going thrifting to see what I can find. I dyed my hair blue again (but not dark blue yet, I was trying to use up my dye).

If you've never seen the movie, here is the trailer:

What are you going as for Halloween? Are you going to a party or just dressing up for fun?

PS The husband and I have a date tomorrow to go to the corn maize! I'm super stoked!

Cutest Halloween Costume EVER!

I just saw this on facebook and squeed! lol I heart toki doki and hello kitty.

What are you going as for halloween?

I wanted to go as Jem from Jem and the Holograms, but I have to work all day tomorrow :(

So let me know how much fun you are having so I can live vicariously through you for a day! :)

Halloween Pics

I meant to post these sooner, but here they are now! I had to work on halloween, but it was pretty fun seeing all the crazy costumes. We really didn't dress up much at work, but we did hand out candy!

This is a boy who came into the store dressed as Robin. He got a little too close for comfort there, but he did have a rad costume. I was wearing my neko mimi, and my bunny dress...so i guess I was a Japanese cos-play cutie! lol

This is me and my co-worker Chryssa!

Being silly
It wasn't a very eventful halloween, but it was still fun! I still haven't carved my pumpkin, but I'm hoping to get around to it. I made a camera strap for my friend Patrick, but I didn't take a picture of it...I plan to make C.cakes a guitar strap for christmas, but don't tell...I will do another post later about some vintagey good finds, and a taco tuesday update....
