Happy Halloween! + FOTD!

Hi lovelies! Hope you're all having a spectacular evening full of sweets and treats.

I just kind of wanted to check in and see how you all are doing. I had a lovely friend who helped me create a new template and layout for my boring ol' blog. I must say she did an awesome job. I finally added Disqus so I can reply to comments and things. Interaction! YAY!

One of my favorite bloggers, Laura from The Blog of worldly Delights has an Etsy store that i super duperly adore! I ordered a box of assorted bows and I've been really bowed out! LOL I think it's super girly and adds a whimsical little touch to any mood. I threw on a dark berry lipstick and sported a cat eye and went to work. Festive enough, I hope.


Today, I realize, is not only Halloween but the start of the holiday season. I'm both excited and not. I'm not looking forward to crowded traveling and full parking lots but I do, and seriously love, extended shopping hours and sweet deals. This year has gone by so fast and I'm quickly learning that the older you get, the faster the year passes. When I was a kid, the days were endless and all I kept wanting to do was to bask in delightful old books and drink lemonade. Now as an adult, I still want the same things but gosh does the time fly. And here's to another holiday season. Counting down the days until Thanksgiving.

Stay safe and don't be too crazy. Going to have a cozy night in to catch up on blogs and vlogs.
Those of you whose cities have been affected by Sandy, stay warm and safe! Happy Halloween!

That necklace is so adorable. :D I'm really into bows right now too. I kind of want the huge bigger-than-your-head bows that some Japanese lolita girls sport haha! They're so cute with such little practicality...
I know what you mean about the seasons. Fall is amazing because there's pretty much going to be a party every weekend! Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years...and a ton of birthdays in between! This is where the weight starts to pile on...

Rainy Days & Lattes said...
