Lovable Friday: Halloween Edition

lovablefriday1

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! 😉

It’s starting to get spooky…

…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! [Read more…]

1. District-9

After hearing about this movie for months and attending a panel at Comic-Con, I am so excited the premiere date for District-9 is here! We have tickets to a showing tonight with a group of friends and I can’t wait! In case you are one of the 4 people that have not heard of this movie, it is set in a time where aliens have landed on Earth, but have been segregated from the general public in an area called District-9. I’ll make sure to put together a review come Monday as part of my weekend highlights for all of you!
