Happiness Is: {Halloween Edition}

Remember this post where we discussed what “Happiness Is” to us? And remember how we all tweeted and Instagrammed various things with the #HappinessIs hashtag throughout that day?

Let’s do it again. But this time, let’s theme it (!!)

Fun-Size Candy

Even though I think it’s more fun to devour a regular or even king-size candy bar, I’m a sucker for anything miniature. These included.

Scary (and Non-Scary) Movies

We touched on this briefly yesterday, but I love the shows and movies surrounding this holiday. A few of my must-sees every year include:

-Hocus Pocus

-Beetlejuice

-Halloweentown (and the three sequels that followed)

-Sleepy Hollow

-The Others

-Travel Channel’s Most Haunted series

Trick ‘or Treating

I hate that it’s frowned upon for adults to trick ‘or treat, however I have almost as much fun handing out candy at home. I love to brew up a pot of apple cider and spend extra time putting out Halloween décor to make our doorstep look inviting.

Monster Cookies

Again, touched on this yesterday, but I love these Halloween-themed cookies. Other must-bake treats include:

Old Fashioned Rice Krispy Treats

Caramel Dipped Apple Pops

Salty Caramel Corn - here

Costume Parties

I’m so sad that we didn’t get to throw one this year, but I’m already brainstorming themes for next year. I love a good costume and REALLY love the fine art of getting dressed up for no particular reason.

Ghoulish Music

To get in the mood for All Hallow’s Eve, I turn to Pandora. The following stations are on my current rotation.

Heads Will Roll  

Harry Potter The Essentials

Monter Mash

Thriller

Let me know what Halloween elements make you happy by using the #HappinessIs hastag in your tweets and Instagram posts today!

Be blessed, lovelies- 

Halloween for Grown-Ups

The month of October kind of inspires me to push the envelope a bit with my clothes and accessories. I might experiment a bit more with some darker nail polish or do a daytime smoky eye. I might go for a pair of printed tights instead of the usual black. (This may not seem out-of-the-box for some, but for me, it is.)

To me, the month of October and All Hallow’s Eve allows you to be a little more playful with your attire. Here are a few Halloween-inspired everyday pieces that I’m coveting right now:

Polka Dot Flouncy Dress - ONLY $39!

Rachel Zoe Corduroy Flare Pants

Pilgrim Wolf Ring from ASOS

Black Ponte Peplum Top from Dorothy Perkins

Plate and Spike Detail Waist Belt from ASOS

Prairie3 Velvet Ankle Boots from Topshop

Armed and Ready by Essie

Stila Eyeshadow in Rocker

Criss Cross Faux Eyelashes - my all-time fav!

Major announcement: On October 31, I’ll be having a blog sale! From blouses and jeans, to dresses and shoes, I’ll be selling some of the goodies from my closets. (Yep, plural. I had so many clothes that I dominate our master closet, as well as the closet in one of our guest rooms. Oops.) I’m ready to stock up on some new fall cuteness, but need somewhere to put it!

I plan to actually post the items via Facebook rather than here on the blog, so stay tuned for more details. Also, if you think you might want to buy, please go ahead and set up a Paypal account. That will be the way in which I’ll be accepting payment : )

Be blessed, lovelies-
