Weekend Highlights: Halloween Edition

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Picture 1We are lucky enough to have an amazing Halloween party to attend every year thanks to Augi’s work, Agencynet. They always throw the best parties in general, but really take it to another level when Halloween rolls by. Augi and I tried our best to hide our costumes this year, but a few people may have figured it out. We decided several months ago to go as The Comedian and the Silk Spectre I from The Watchmen. I immediately knew that I would have to contact my friends at Terribly Girly Photography in order for the look to be perfected! I was able to book Jenn D., who is amazing (no joke), for both my hair and makeup and she rocked it! I can’t tell you how many people asked me if it was a hairpiece or a wig. They could not believe it was my real hair. I think we did a great job and so far it’s been my favorite Halloween costume ever. I actually wish I could wear my hair like that on the daily! I think I was born in the wrong era. ;)

I don’t want to leave Augi behind – he did a great job on his costume as well. Not pictured above is his cigar and eye mask, which really complete the outfit. My only complaint was that terrible mustache he had to rock for the week leading up to Halloween – I could barely look at him! But enough gushing, I’ll let some of the photos from the party speak for themselves!

I hope everyone has a fantastic Halloween weekend! I, for one, cannot contain my excitement. My costume is ready to go and I’ll be back Monday morning with a kick ass round up of our festivities. Have a great time everyone, but remember to be safe. I’ve put together some fun Halloween-themed items to share with you all!

For all of you who are planning to have a Halloween dinner party sometime this weekend, these adorable DIY placemats would definitely make a statement! One of my favorite designers, Eddie Ross, featured these cuties along with instructions on how to make your own on his blog. So strap on your craft hat and get to work, procrastinators! ;)

…in the Sanchez household!

I picked up these hysterical puppy costumes at Old Navy yesterday and was uber pleased to see that they were already heavily reduced. Score! Brad-Pitt’s skeleton tee is a little too big for him, but I think he still makes it look good. It was supposed to be paired with some devil horns, but I must have misplaced them. And I think I’ve finally found the cure for Gwen’s unstoppable hyperactivity: a bee costume. Whenever I put it on her, she just freezes in complete and total terror. Poor thing. I think I’ll cut back on the animal abuse until the big day. Not to give further clues, but I believe Gwen’s outfit will match nicely with mine. ;)

Halloween is my most favorite holiday ever. What other holiday allows you to tap into your inner child and revel in a fantasy world? In fact, one of the main moments I am looking forward to the most when we get our own house is when I get to decorate it for Halloween and host the most amazing parties ever (well, that one is in general). Since the “big day” is only 18 days away, I figured I would gather some of my favorite Halloween party decor and ideas! I can’t wait to put them to use one day in the near future (gotta stay positive!).

I pretty much love vintage anything, so when I stumbled upon these engagement photos on the lovely Jeune Marie blog, I nearly exploded! How flipping cute are these??? It definitely makes me wonder why I didn’t think of this idea for our own engagement pictures – rats! (more…)
