what are you loving lately?

gold sequins

Do you know how hard it is to find a pair of gold sequin (booty) shorts? I didn't either until I needed a pair for my Halloween costume. 

I found this handmade dance costume at goodwill for 99 cents 

but I need shorts (& tights) to wear with it (i AM a lady after all)

I'm Still trying to think up my superhero name and figure out how i'm going to go the whole Halloween party without going to the bathroom. I'm pretty sure  with this get up its impossible to  pee without disrobing every time.

so if anyone knows of a reputable place that sells glitterfied hotpants let me know.

and maybe a cape.

happy Friday :)

I hate being sick. 

And this week I have strep throat which is no fun for anyone.

Except for Scout because she got to lay around with me all day.

so yesterday I went to the worlds longest doctor's visit and got an antibiotic

(why do they call it a rapid strep test? )

then I went and bought myself some get well soon donuts

and a gallon of lemon berry squeeze

Today I accidentally ate a whole bag of candy corn for breakfast.

I'm pretty sure I deserved it though.

Is anyone else really excited about Halloween candy being out already??

sweet tooth

Halloween is my favorite time of year

(besides the scary movie previews. why don't they make a way to block those?)

the best thing about Halloween?

an unlimited supply of candy almost everywhere

I eat more sweets than a 5 year old.

mouthwatering monsters

cute cupcakes

the only kind of bats I will ever get close to

caramel apples with bling

nutter butter ghosts

whats your favorite Halloween candy/treat?

cowboys and indians

my mom made my headband in about 30 seconds.

it matched my dreamcatcher tee perfectly.

and it had a rhinestone heart sticker.

she rocks like granite.

we cut bats out of construction paper and put them inside the lampshade. the best part is that they are invisible till you turn the light on. it's like a super secret halloween suprise. i cannot draw, thank God for the boyf. idea via Young House Love

my turkey cookie jar. i am terrified of birds but i have a thing for vintage turkeys.

my thrifted yarn. i see poms in my future. isn't this the best color combo you've ever seen?

my turkey salt and pepper shakers. and my wee pumpkin is making a 2nd appearance.

I am getting really excited about Thanksgiving! I need a turkey lurkey from Bob's.
