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 at LACMA Stanley Kubrick Exhibit

Posted on by Gigi in Art, Dining, Party 5 Comments

What an incredible evening! This was our first adult Halloween party since our “dating period” and that my friends was a looooong time ago. Our Halloween was always spent trick or treating in the neighborhood and or giving out treats. This year however we were treated to tickets to the 9th annual Muse Costume Ball at LACMA  which included a sneak peek at the upcoming Stanley Kubrick exhibition. We started our evening with dinner at Ray’s, which was featuring a wicked halloween menu. This was my second time dining there and I love that the menu has a nice selection of farm-to table seasonal fare.

Servers at Ray’s

These two were our servers, dressed as the twins from The Shining.

With only hours to come up with a costume for the ball I decided on my version of a “dominatrix Goddess”. I borrowed a long black cape from my friend Denise, used my black lace full body suit for my base, got a pair of black sequined shorts from TJ Maxx, black corset from my “pole dancing class”, black lace gloves, over the knees black platform boots, a sassy “Rihanna” red wig, and my black fascinator completed the look.

Silverware compartment

Love this. The tables have silverware storage compartment drawers.

Pumpkin Soup

Wickedly delicious apple pumpkin soup.

Ray’s At LACMA

Ray’s perfect for lunch or dinner.

Everyone was in costume. I was amazed with the things people came up with. These are just a few.

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
