Hello my pretties!!  I'm currently working on  Bird's Party EU SHOP  lookbook, and Pinterest is one of my first calls for inspiration. But then it doomed on me (sorry, it's the Halloween vibe coming through..) that there' are sooo many complicated and time-consuming ideas and crafts out there... ain't nobody got time for that! So I thought I'd step out of my usual pinspired route and see what I could find/create in a  jiffy and inexpensively, using every-day party goodies.  Hopefully it shows that it doesn't really take much time (or skill) to create a boo-tiful display ;)

Today I'm joining a few of fab party bloggers to bring you our best Halloween Orange and Black party ideas! There's something for everyone: Free party printables, Halloween recipes, Halloween party crafts, decor ideas... Take a peek at the links below to see the full posts in all their spooktacular glory!

This beautiful baby shower styled by my friend Katelyn from Events by Kate, provides the perfect theme for a Fall baby shower celebrating the 'nesting mommy' and baby! Kate used Bird's Party Baby Shower Printables , and stunning rustic and woodland elements for the decor to tie in perfectly with the more delicate look of the glassware, floral arrangements and lace.  Check out all the gorgeous details below as told by Kate.

Hello sweet  friends ! Happy to be back with my batteries fully charged for what looks like will be a cray-cray season ahead! Thankfully I spent some time chillaxing at this magical place ...which is handy seen the size of my to-do list  already !  Between   stocking   the shop with some exciting new party goodies (can't wait to share!), prepping a Christmas edition with Créative magazine ,  organizing   three creative workshops in October, not to mention some fun projects with PBS Parents ;  the next few months are  chock-a-block!! 

BOO! Happy Halloween, my pretties! :) Last of our Chilling Chili Buffet recipe ideas to complete your yummy, spooky repertoire (I'm be making this one later on today!). You can't have a Halloween Chili Buffet without guacamole, right?! Plus, they look super cute served individually in Frankenstein little cups ! Get the full recipe and decor details below.

I have to say, these bread sticks look a little realistic... But I can also assure you they taste absolutely scrumptious, and totally helped to make the Halloween Chili Buffet a hit! So much so in fact, that when I asked my daughter "What would you like to do for Halloween this year? "  (meaning costume...), she replied without a moment's hesitation - "Witch Bread Fingers!"  :)

My husband makes the best chili I've ever tasted. So much so in fact, that I never order it in restaurants for the fear it won't be on par! :) So when styling my Halloween Chili Buffet , the natural choice was to cook his chili recipe, and today I'm sharing it with you. It's simple, unctuous and tastes awesome. And you can make it ahead of the party! ;)

A bubbling cauldron of hot chili accompanied by the usual sides provides the perfect Halloween food buffet for hungry little ghouls - It’s also a very relaxed, warming way to entertain and feed a crowd before Trick or Treat!  We love it so much in our house, that we've now made a tradition of having a chili buffet every Halloween! :) Here are some easy ideas on how to style a fun and spooky-licious  Halloween Chili Buffet that I designed and styled for the fall Edition of Yum Food and Fun for Kids Magazine!

Have you ever been tempted to go monochrome for Halloween? I did last year , and totally loved it! Monochrome is sleek, is chic and is one of the Fall color trends for 2013. What's not to love?! I think this palette is really easy to pull together (think mummies, spiders, bats, crows...) and really helps to add an air of  grown-up sophistication to Halloween festivities. Check out some inspiring ideas I've been pinning:

If you love the classics, then this color palette will do perfectly for Halloween. I'm yet to use purple (or pink, or green...) in my Halloween decor so am really enjoying this week's curated posts! :)
