Boo-tiful Halloween

My style of Halloween decor just so happens to be the genius of Martha Stewart and her team of craft prodigies. Seriously, how can you resist a sparkly pumpkin? And spooky wine labels and stenciled powdered-sugar silhouette cakes, oh my! Boo-tiful, just boo-tiful!

And these beauties? Amazeballs!

Ghosts of Princesses Past

Not as scary as can be, but as scary as I'm willing to be on Halloween. My girlfriends and I are attending one of Toronto's biggest Halloween parties at Steam Whistle Brewery this Saturday. And Snow White, Pocahontas, Ariel and Tinker Bell will be misbehaving for one night only!  Prince Charming better bring it, or he...will...be...played (insert evil laugh here).  Happy Halloween!

The Way She Was

Barbra Streisand as 'K-K-K-Katie' in The Way We Were was b-b-b-beautiful! And her styling no less!  While watching this movie, I felt the pangs of envy in every scene for her 70s clothing and her perfectly shaded baby blues!

I wish I could hire a tailor to replicate Barbra's clothing in this movie. Wouldn't that be amazing? I just love the cut of 70s fashion...

Oh, Babs... Thank you for the meeeeeemories!

Christmas Vacation

Allow me to get this off my chest: I CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS SO I CAN WATCH NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION!!! I adore this movie, it brings me good old fashion merriment every holiday.  I just picked up Hallmark's 'Vacation' Keepsake Ornament and I figure I need to host a viewing party complete with t-shirts and Eggnog Moose Mugs. Can't hardly wait!

Tie Dye Hair Ties

I don't think I've ever really recuperated from the hair scrunchie disaster of the 80s.  Scrunchies were nothing but strong elastics rendered useless from excessive scrunched up fabric.  The damn things never stayed in place, and one was constantly trying to retighten their ponytails by doing what I call 'the split and pull'.  So when I found these tie dye hair ties by Bop Bijoux I overreacted a little.  These pretty pieces of elasticized fabric should have been the scrunchie prototype.  Ah well, I guess we all have to start somewhere.
