HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween

At time to dress up and be something else. Why do we love it so much? Halloween is a billion dollar industry, it is amazing to see how many homes are decorated in various levels of spooky themes.

Dressing up gives us a chance to be something else for a moment, live out a fantasy and have fun, tap into that alter ego that is lurking within all of us. My thought is to take a little halloween and apply it daily–it is OK to step into a fantasy and experiment with being someone else for a moment. There are no rules that say you have to be the same everyday. Pick up a color extension and clip it in your hair, dress a little outside your comfort zone and see what it feels like. Be a clown and laugh, or dress up like a video vixen and blast some music and dance or twerk around-heheheh..

Be a chameleon and try to tap into a different part of you. And those of you who are mommies and daddies, encourage your little ones to be creative and play “dress up”. I always had a trunk of clothes and accessories for my kids when they were little to play with, Amani had a “Belle” dress from Beauty and Beast, that she wore until it turned into a Cinderella dress.

Haute Halloween-Trick or Treat

Halloween

I’m not a big Halloween person, when the kids were little we would go to the carnival at their school and of course we would do the costume thing. We live in an area where we get 1 or 2 tricker or treaters, and  by the time I think about decorating for halloween it has come and gone. Last year we went to a costume party at the museum and had a blast, this year we have no plans as of yet. Since I love fashion, I decided to browse around for some items that could be “halloween-ish” and would make perfect “treats”…

Alexander-Mcqueen skull knuckle clutch

Muse Costume Ball

Happy Halloween!

This evening Reggie and I are going to the Muse Costume Ball at LACMA, thanks to my friend Denise.  I am scrabbling today to put a costume together for the party. I don’t think I will know anybody there so perhaps I will go all out fantasy mode. I promise to post pics. Halloween in the past consisted of giving out candy and trick or treating with the kids. This will be our first “adult” Halloween party. While meandering around the web looking for inspiration for a costume, I came across these interesting items. 

Pumpkin

This hallowed out pumpkin can be used for icing drinks, fall floral arrangement or for serving a nice colorful fall salad, which is what I am going to do for an event this Friday.

Mini Pies

Love these little pumpkin pies, I am going to make mini sweet potato pies with my mom’s recipe.

 

Fall Flowers

Have a happy safe Halloween!

Xoxo,

Gigi
