Weekend Highlights: Halloween Edition!

This weekend was so much fun I could hardly stand it, but I didn’t expect anything less. It is no secret that I have a pretty serious love affair with Halloween and really enjoy dolling up for the festivities. Saturday night we had the annual AgencyNet Halloween party in their new digs. I finally unveiled my secret costume that I had been concealing for several months now – Maleficent! Thanks to the Academy of Glam, I was able to really perfect the look with some kick ass makeup. All other pieces were picked up randomly through Amazon stores and American Apparel. I’m really happy with the way the costume turned out and it was a little too fun to be evil for a night. Although, I have to admit that perfecting a villainous bitch face was tough!

Lovable Friday

1. DIY Colored Mason Jars

It’s no secret: I love easy DIY projects! Although I don’t consider myself to be very crafty, I can do spray painting without any difficulties. Promise. And this simple DIY project consisting of a can of spray paint and a pack of mason jars really does it for me. Just think of these pretties adorning a table at an event or even as a centerpiece for a shower – they would be so perfect! And the best part is that they would take minimal time and effort, as well as be gentle on your wallet. I, for one, can’t wait to give these babies a test run. If you are also interested, you can pick up large packs of mason jars at Big Lots for under $15! Thank me later 😉

{SqueeWorthy}: Halloween Weddings

Weddings, weddings, weddings. Almost 3 years after my own, I still absolutely adore them. Attending them, planning them, reading about them, you name it! And one particular kind of wedding has always intrigued me: the Halloween wedding. Two of my favorite things combined? Yes please! Unfortunately, my family would have probably had my head on a stake if I had decided to have a Halloween wedding of my own (my mom has always harbored an intense dislike of the holiday), so I have to be satisfied with just oogling others’ fabulously spooky wedding days.

I think it’s a talent to be able to have a tasteful yet fun Halloween themed wedding because it’s so easy to go over-the-top and get tacky. That’s why I’m in awe of people that do it right, and these people…they did it right. All brides-to-be (Halloween or not), take note:

Happy Hump Day: Johnny Depp

When thinking who I should feature for Halloween week’s hump day, there was no one else that would fit the bill better than Johnny Depp. After all, he’s basically in all my favorite spooky movies: Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, Edward Scissorhands, the list goes on and on. And isn’t he just the most gorgeous man on the planet? And so humble! Did you guys hear the story where he visited a young girl at school dressed as Jack Sparrow after she wrote him a letter asking for his help to start a mutiny against school teachers? Who does that? He’s amazing. Enjoy the picspam and get your freak on (haha), ladies (& boys)!

With Halloween this weekend, I’m sure there are many people putting together the final touches for their parties. And it’s not a spooky party without equally spooky tunes! I know putting together the perfect party playlist can be difficult, especially when you are limited with a theme, but luckily, I have a couple new & fun tracks to share that will work spook-tacularly (see what I did there?).
