Halloween is coming and writing for Babble has got me thinking in all things Disney so I’ve kind of started this Disney character costume series that I have to admit is SO MUCH FUN! My last in the series, and first ever, was Cinderella, remember? If not, go to Modern Day Cinderella Costume which links …
We have a really fun neighborhood full of great people and tons of kiddos, who happen to remember that we always give out full-sized candy bars on Halloween AND we let them choose whatever they want. This year was no different really, except for the addition of Miss Delilah George, who was meant to go …
Halloween or not, this may be one of my new favorite manicures ever. Done with metallics, shimmers, and fine glitters, any three colors would look fantastic really. After compiling my Halloween manicure ideas from around the web, I was determined to create something different. And while this isn’t spooky, I think it’s a chic way …
We’ve been a bit behind on the Halloween decor front this month because we’ve been so distracted by our house situation {we are in escrow, eek!}. My husband usually has boxes of king sized candy bars just waiting to hand out on Halloween to all the kiddos but he hasn’t even gotten them yet. This …

Like many internet phenomena including ironic mustaches, balloons, and cute girls overdressed on bicycles, the chevron print is seemingly here to stay. Dear Internet, please don’t hate me for saying this BUT, the infinitely zig-zaging chevron pattern simply reminds me of Charlie Brown every time I see it. Saying that, however, It’s The Great Pumpkin, …
image source: Tommy TonJust because it’s almost Fall, doesn’t mean we have to hide our tootsies away just yet! It’s been over 100 in these parts for weeks now and I’m betting it will be warm enough for open toes until Halloween. This DIY is just too easy for words and there are two ways …
What I’m Wearing* Vintage 70’s animal print dress {most similarly to a giraffe print but I could be off} & included tie belt from Etsy shop Jantiques. She has some great vintage finds for really reasonable prices! I also got my halloween “Betty Draper” dress from her. * Hat: is by THE AMAZING Spring Canyon …
I don’t normally do a link list like many blogs do but my desktop is cluttered with all of these site links I’ve been saving so I thought I’d share them with you… and simultaneously clear off my computer. Enjoy! * First, let me just address the amazing rings above which, if you’ve been reading …
It’s not a ridiculously original idea or anything but since the husband and I have just recently finished watching the entire Mad Men series, we thought we’d go as Don & Betty Draper for Halloween. I’ve been searching a little online for some great early 60’s dresses & may buy a few just in case, …
I can feel it in the air… the holidays are coming. I know it’s early and I’m not going crazy or anything but a few semi-spooky items have landed in various areas of our house and I love it. Though, I kind of lean toward that kind of kookiness in general and may just keep …

Mid-summer I sort of {temporarily} gave up my dream of having a beautiful front lawn when I realized that no matter how much I watered it, the little neighborhood birds were going to continue to meet there every morning and eat up all the grass seed until it was gone …which they did …month after …
