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! :)
Halloween is not just about 'orange'. And this week we have some pretty spook-tacular color schemes that look just as eerie and super fun!! The palette of green and black just screams " Frankenstein " to me, and here are some pretty fabulous finds I've been pinning, to help inspire a green-hued monster of a bash ! ;)
I think the whole Monster High phenomenon really has had a big part to play in all the trending pink Halloween (or Pink-o-Ween) parties we see emerging everywhere. The fact Halloween also falls in the Pink October month, makes pink the ideal color for this spooky holiday! So if you fancy a little something girly, glam and totally pinkalicious this Halloween, here are some of our fave ideas we've been pinning.
If you would have seen my (Tess) face yesterday as we drove out of the city and into the country for the afternoon, you would have thought the barrister slipped in a little something extra into my London Fog. On our way out the the pumpkin farm, the high-rises of our neighborhood were quickly replaced with row after row of golden-leafed trees. Maybe it's because I've lived in the city for a while now, but I had no idea I could ever be so excited about fall foliage. The beautiful colors of fall were captured in these Fall Leaf Mini Cakes .
When deciding on a Halloween costume, we always gravitate towards the fun aspect. But as a mom to two young kids, I'm also thinking, is it warm enough to go out trick or treating?! Which means I was beyond excited to find the snugly and lush Halloween outfits from Pottery Barn Kids ! And guess what?! Parents needn't feel left out, 'cause they do matching grown-up (and even pets!) costumes too! ;)
The NO-BAKE Halloween Kids Party Treats I posted last year were winners, for sure! I loved making them. My kids loved test-driving them. And it seems you guys loved pinning them ! So this year, I decided to round up some our fave Halloween Cute and Fun Treats for Kids , which are perfect for whipping up quickly - no tricks! ;)
No matter the season, we all scream for ice cream 'round here! I'm sure we're not alone. Everyone loves ice cream, so why not celebrate anything and everything with an ice cream social?! The guys at Candy Galaxy show us how!
TGIF 'cause we're ending our Halloween Cheese and Wine Party week on a spook-tacular note! We have some creepy FREE party printables for you to enjoy + a quick and easy tutorial to help you inject a little macabre vibe into your party paperie! ;)
This embroidery hoop backdrop really helped to add a touch of spooky modernity to my Halloween Cheese and Party . It is super simple and quick to make, and can double as a wall feature in the home all year round - I actually have them as a fixture in my craft room now, spider and all! :)
We're ending our vampire-themed Pottery Barn Halloween week on a fang-tastic note with loads of free printable and DIY downloads for embellishing your vampire lair!! :)
October has started, and promises to be like a crazy whirlwind. But when the work I do for the blog gets shared or feature in the press, it more than makes up for the long hours and hard work. Not only because it opens up other business avenues and a chance to connect with a new audience, but also because someone, somewhere, has also liked what you did. And that my friends, is totally priceless! :)
