TIP: Every Party Needs A Theme
It’s the easiest way to pull a look together. Once you decide on one, the other things fall into place much easier!! So start with your base and build up from there, adding the little extras as you go.
TIP: Black Clothes & Makeup = Easy Halloween Costume
There are tons of fantastic makeup tutorials out there! Give it a shot for a last minute Halloween costume that you probably have in your makeup bag! Pair an all black outfit and paint your face. You’d be surprised the looks you can capture, from simple.. to sexy.. all the way to super scary!
Wishing you a safe and fun Halloween!!!!
When we lived as a family in our family neighborhood, we “did” Halloween in a BIG way! As in…a huge graveyard in the front yard, a plethora of pumpkins, and I dressed up to open the door. Now….*crickets*
And where’s “Spooky”?
It’s often very stormy here on Halloween so the norm is to go to the local mall for candy, cake walks, haunted house, etc… all indoors that way. I miss handing out candy. I love seeing the kids costumes.
I would add…… Devil In A Blue Dress, The Witch Queen of New Orleans, and Dragula from Rob Zombie.
What an outstanding resource! Happy Halloween for sure!
I love Halloween! Glad you liked all the ideas (:
