Halloween DIY Round-Up

I have some fun apartment-friendly Halloween DIYs coming up, but first, let's take a look at projects I've done in the past!

1. This Vampire Bite Necklace is a favorite--wear it for a subtle Halloween touch!

2. Keep your costume cute with this hairpiece inspired by The Birds.

3. Repurpose thrifted goods to make this spooky Halloween Wreath!

4. Be ready for the next full moon with this Silver Bullet Necklace, you werewolf hunter, you.

5. Keep your Halloween decor personal by adding zombie touches to your favorite family photos!

Do you decorate the whole house? Just the porch? What's your favorite DIY out there?

What I Wore: Fall Style

Wow. It has been a long time since I have posted about my outfit. I mean, let's be honest; my outfits all summer have been yoga clothes and mumus, so....

Outfit details: Black Dress: Tresics (TJ Maxx, baby!), Skirt: Emerging Thoughts, Ballet Flats: H&M, Necklace: Handmade by Mom!

This skirt is by Dainty June for Emerging Thoughts--awhile ago I ordered a mystery grab bag and was delighted to receive the skirt and this dress. I love surprises!

Okay, since we're being honest, you should know that I never iron out the wrinkles in my clothes. I just photoshop them out. So....

Fall Recipe Round-Up

Happy October! I'm not going to lie, this is about when I start getting very, very excited about holidays. And while there apparently is no Autumn in Los Angeles, I will still be enjoying pumpkin until they tell me to stop!

Here are some of my favorite fall recipes from last year:

1. This dreamy pumpkin smoothie is so yummy (and perfect if you, too, are still experiencing hot weather!)

2. Warm up your mornings with yummy coconut oatmeal!

3. Buckwheat Pumpkin Pancakes topped with Agave & Earth Balance--these are seriously good.

4. Pumpkin muffins with chocolate morsels? Yes. Yes yes yes.

5. This Autumn Punch recipe is perfect for romantic dinners or visiting with friends. Enjoy!

Foxy

Foxes are so hot right now. Here is a round-up of some of my favorite foxy things!

 1. This CUTE stamp from Happy Rainy Day.

2. I feel like these two love each other. 

3. These cute earrings!!!

4. I love this little letterpressed guy! Such a pretty note card set.

5. How sweet is this indie print from Ruche?

6. I am rather obsessed with this shirt from ModCloth. Obsessed.

Have you seen anything cute and foxy lately?

Neon

I know we've talked about this before, but, it must be said.

Neon is just a lot of fun.

Frames!

It has been taking me a desperately slow time to finish decorating our apartment. We're down to the last details, and the one I'm most excited about this week is finding frames for my artwork. I've actually been treating myself lately to fun prints from artists I really admire. I can't wait to show them to you!

What are your biggest challenges when you decorate?

(And please--how do you overcome them??)

Is it autumn yet?

Oh my. Nearly two months without blogging. That's what happens when you go to the mountains and start shooting films! I'll be more prompt with updates, okay?

In the meantime, will someone tell Southern California that it's supposed to be autumn weather? Not that my tall soy iced pumpkin spice latte wasn't fantastic....
