Happy Halloween!

 

I love any excuse to dress up and party ~

so the idea of Halloween parties, fancy costumes and trick or treating
has major appeal for me!
Sadly, we don't celebrate it here in Australia
so I will enjoy it through the eyes of my favourite American blogs!

I wish all of our American blogging friends, lots of fun and 

Happy Halloween

{For those of you affected by Hurricane Sandy

our thoughts are with you and your families.

I hope you are all safe and sound}

A White Halloween

Here's some sweet inspiration for a Halloween with a difference. I found this in Halloween issue of Sweet Paul Magazine? It’s was chock-full of wonderful crafty gems and delicious recipes. I’m loving his White Halloween concept. It makes the holiday a little less gory and a little more gorgeous! Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treat?

We don't really celebrate Halloween in Australia - it usually slips by unnoticed. Occasionally you may get the odd group of local kids, usually without costumes, looking for some sweets but no one is geared up for it so they are sent on their way empty handed ...how sad is that! I for one, love the whole concept of Halloween: the costumes, the candy, the parties, the neighbourly goodwill and the excitement of little kids on an adventure. All of it appeals to me .. any excuse for a party I say! So for those who are lucky enough to celebrate it in full swing have a treat for me!

Halloween Party

 

 

With Halloween only a week away I am thinking of getting together a group of my best friends and throwing a small but stylish Halloween soiree. Cocktail wear and champagne will be the order of the night. I always think getting dressed up in a bit of glitz and glamour always adds sparkle to an evening. I'll make up some canapes and serve them with up cocktails. I'll fill crystal bowls with black cats and black jelly beans just to add a touch of Halloween and my little black dress with a black velvet Venetian mask will make a perfect outfit!

Halloween Black Magic

Here's a little black magic inspiration for a heavenly Halloween outfit. I was looking for some inspiration for a Halloween party theme and an outfit to wear when I stumbled across these divine creations by Valentino. They are mysterious and elegant, touching on the dark side of life. The lace masks are so delicate and intricate they remind me of spider's web which adds to the fantasy. Now, unfortunately I don't have a little black Valentino number in my wardrobe but I do have a LBD that will do the trick nicely and I'll rummage around in my box of tricks for feathers, lace, black beads and sequins and see if I can breath some new into an old venetian mask I have been hanging on to. I just knew my millinery classes at fashion school would come in handy one day!
