Halloween Wishlist 2018

It is funny when you go to the Halloween store and they have items that you
would actually wear on the daily not just for "Halloween".

I realized it when I fell in love with this watermelon dress, 

sugar skull stockings and Wheres Waldo shorts at Spirit Halloween:

I just love Halloween themed clothing! 

Fell in love with this web bow blouse from Modern Milly in Salem, MA:

I love this skeleton sweater paired with the zombie print skirt from Modcloth:

& this sugar skull skirt is so cute!

I am curious what these circle skirts are like from Amazon, 

they have so many cute prints 

Also fell in love with this vintage sweater from twitchvintage,

so perfect for this time of year! 

 Especially love the shoes this time of year, 

those Charlotte Olympia web flats (via Poshmark) are perfect for all year round if you ask me!

Love those bat flats from Modcloth 

& those Jack & Sally flats from Shophazelandbean on Etsy!

I love this sugar skull ring (& whole Halloween collection) from lo and chlo:

Love this "Handbag" For The Recently Deceased as shared by Lenoreandco on Instagram:

Love this little graveyard necklace from Lonoreadnco:

I love this little web bracelet that puravidabracelets shared in this sponsored Instagram post:

I have always loved these bone pens, 

I used to use and collect them when I was teaching & they are still a favorite!

This embroidered ampersand with bones is so cute too, 

I love the little hand at the end!
Was for sale from MCreativeJ on Etsy

I think I need to add this Zombie Halloween Folk Art Doll to my Halloween decor
from EelMonkeyArt.com

Also have lots of mani inspiration for Halloween this year: 

This super detailed halloween mani from fingerbangportland on Instagram is everything
you could want in a Halloween mani and more! 

Bottom Left: OPI Peanut Collection from 2014 via Vampy Varnish
(I have this collection and want to try this mani!)
Bottom Right: KBshimmer in "How Corn-y" as seen on beautyjudy on Instagram

I am always obsessed with Halloween / Friday The 13th flash, 

& I finally got my little ghost tattoo recently! 

This flash sheet from bodyartsoulpa on Instagram is a good one! 

I especially love the skull flowers with Candy Corn leaves, 

Love this little pumpkin girl from Ol_Ash on Instagram 
{especially around her little ghosts)

This dancing skeleton wrap tattoo is amazing from Seanfromtexas:

These halloween costumes are so cute too, 

for if/when we have kids:

{as shared by my friend Breanne on Facebook}

& this Kevin costume from the office is just too good,

shared by "Pam" msjennafischer on Instagram:

I may be the only one who loves candy corn, 

so this cartoon shared by my friend Krista on Facebook via Princess Sassy Pants & Co:

Also loved this post by bombshellforbullies on Instagram:

A little inspiration among all the creepy/scary!

Can't believe there is only 1 week until Halloween!

raining deers

We went to our last holiday party last week, 

and did our annual beer exchange with our home brew club,

bring a 6 pack and go home with a new one!  

Charlie brewed his first beer of 2017!
He is so cute in his overalls and tie dye!

Man, his brew system has come such a long way!
The top is the first beer he brewed with a Christmas present I gave him in 2011
and the bottom is the new set up

Wore some reindeer print to finish out the holiday season,
a good transition sweater into Valentine's season!

What I Wore: glasses- EyeBuyDirect "Providence", lips- L.A. Colors matte lipliner from holiday Lips [Matte]R kit & Clinique "Black Honey", sweater- Windsor {thrifted}, tank- Walmart, vest- Gap {thrifted, new with tags!}, pants- Old Navy, booties- thrifted, bag- Reed x Kohls, travel cup- Starbucks

Charlie refuses to wash my coffee cups because my lipstick is impossible to get off them,
I don't blame him, I feel like my lipstick stays better on my coffee cup than my lips,
which leads to this build up:

Definitely a hump day that requires caffeine...

thrift adventures in Trenton!

I mean, every adventure in Trenton needs to start with a great cup of coffee 

from Trenton Coffee House and Roaster!

& a fun red, white, and blue outfit shoot before it starts to pour...

 What I Wore: glasses- BonLook, lips- NYC "Red Hots", necklace- Charming Charlie's, tank- 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target, shorts- Walmart, flats- thrifted, bag- vintage Dooney & Bourke via Poshmark

Then it really started to come down...

We've been adding fun details to our home lately!
I love this "Eat" sign that we got at Michael's craft store, they were on sale for 60% off!

& we finally hung these copper bowls that I thrifted awhile ago

I had to go back and get the Bar version of the sign from Michaels!

While thrifting in Trenton, I found a dream china cabinet at the Rescue Mission in Trenton,
on Friday's it is 50% off furniture too!

Managed to fit in my car and bring this baby home!

It is perfect for my hubby's beer glass collection!

Also at the Rescue Mission of Trenton,
I fell in love with this potato cabinet!

So cute in the sunroom!
Especially for like $7 with the 50% off on Friday's!

We also got a new shelf from Home Depot in the basement for all my school stuff,
so much better!

My sister picked up this super cute closet from Forever Useful Furniture,
I'm excited to see how she will style it since she is so good at the DIY!

So much good stuff wherever you thrift!
