Halloween Movies that Are NOT Scary

Hi guys,

Do you like scaring yourself?  If you don't I understand. Let's say you are to scared for scary movies; here are some things you can still watch this Halloween!

I can honestly say I have been watching this movie every year for as long as I can remember.  It's become a tradition.  This claymation movie is perfect; the songs are great, the characters are great and it is perfect for those of you who don't like scary movies.  I love this movie! Rated:PG

 

This is an adventure/action horror movie.  Although it is slightly scarier than the previous two movies I have listed, it shouldn't be too frightening.   I feel like this movie is almost always on TV those of you with the FX channel should know what I am talking about. Rated: PG-13

I remember reading the book of the same name back in elementary school.  I have to admit that although this movie is not frightening enough to be deemed scary (in my book anyway), it is a bit spooky in a nightmarish kind of way.  Rated: PG 

 

 This movie is really not scary at all, but that does not mean that the story isn't good.  I think the title says it all, so I'll let it speak for itself.  Rated: PG

Would you like a list of scary movies?  Or any other movie list for that matter? If so let me know below!

Vampire Costume

Hi guys,

This is the second costume I made for you all.  If you haven't noticed by the title, this blog features a vampire costume.  I can honestly say I am not that big of a fan of twilight and that this look was not inspired by the books or the movies.  So with out further a due, I present to you...

This "Vampire Queen" look is a more glamorous take on a vampire because it features a long dress with elaborate design. 

The dress-  I am love this dress by Junya Watanabe and I think a dress with such a gorgeous design is fit for a queen (and yes a vampire queen).  

Shoes-  I chose studded shoes for this look to add toughness to the look.  You can wear whatever your little vampire-heart desires. But I suggest shoes with a bit of a heel because of the length of the dress.

Accessories-  I included black accessories because the dress is colorful and I did not want to take away from the  dress.  I chose the earrings because they resemble fangs.

Nail polish-  Instead of plain black nail polish, this nail polish has sparkles.

Perfume-  I included Loverdose because if you are going to be immortal and undead you might as well smell good.

Makeup-  For this look your eyes should take the center-stage.  Go for something dark or an exaggerated cat-eye or anything lavish and mysterious.  You may want to add oxblood lipstick, if you are up for it.

Witch Halloween Costume

Hi guys,

I am going to put up a couple Halloween costumes (this being the first of them) on my blog as part of the #Bloggoween series.  These costumes are meant to kick the regular Halloween costume up a notch.  Since fashion has a huge part in this blog; I am going to try to make the looks a bit more fashion forward than your average Halloween costume.  Usually I find myself stuck between choosing a kiddy Halloween costume or an impractical Halloween costume (the Mean Girls type, if you know what I mean.)  So if I am going to dress up I make my own Halloween costume.  Hopefully these posts will give you some ideas if you are going to dress up.

This witch costume is a bit understated which lets you get creative with the accessories!

Lace dress-  I love this black lace dress for the look because although lace is usually extremely feminine, the black fabric adds a bit of mystery (which is perfect for a witch costume)!  

Ankle strap heels-  Now what you wear on your feet is completely up to you; you can even opt for flats if that makes you more comfortable.  I am a sucker for ankle-straps.  I think that ankle-straps add class to the look, and since the dress is on the shorter side of the spectrum, the straps will bring attention to your legs.

Broom and witch hat- Need I say more?

Spider ring-  This ring is perfect for the look, I just love the colors.

For the makeup I suggest using dark colors you may choose to go all black or add purple or even dark green (have fun with it).  With a simple outfit you can concentrate more on letting your makeup take center stage.

Stay tuned! More looks to come!

Lets Chat #4: Friends

Hi guys,

I've been a bit nostalgic lately (yes this post is going to be a bit cheesy).  I get nostalgic sometimes and I ponder a lot (yes like winnie the pooh).  When thinking of old times you think of old friends and old acquaintances.  I came to the conclusion that many friends come and go an only a few stay.  

The fact that most friends don't stay used to really get to me in the past.  Here is what I've learned about friends (3 categories): 

Sunshine friends:  A good friend of mine gave this name to people who "are there when the sun is out but when it starts to get cloudy and rain they leave".  In other words they are only there for the ride, the minute you need help they will leave.  I don't consider these people friends, they are more like "fun acquaintances"; they are great to invite to parties but not the people that you run too for help.

For the time being friends: Unlike sunshine friends you don't part ways with these people because they are not there for you when you needed them.  You part ways with them when whatever was keeping you together and in contact has ended.  For example, you graduate and you never see or hear from them again. This is not necessarily a bad friend, this is the case for most people.  If you want to continue the friendship contact the person it can be that simple.  But if you are doing all of the work and you are the only one reaching out to keep the friendship going, the friendship is one-sided.

True/Best friends:  This doesn't need much explanation.  You can have a best friend and not talk to them for a while; but one good thing about best friends is no matter where you left off when you see each other again you have lots of stories to share.

Unlike on television people are not running around with a billion best friends (if you are you are extremely blessed).  People are lucky to have two or three long-lasting true friends.  The important thing about friends is, no matter which friends you have just enjoy the ride (as cliche as it sounds). 

Scarves, Sweaters, Boots!

Hi guys,

Although I favor the warmer months, I have to say that I love to get cozy and snuggle up when the weather gets cooler.  By the way, I love a good cup of tea and a good hot cocoa!  I love to get cozy in  scarves, sweaters, and boots; I know a lot of you are the same.  When it reaches a certain temperature I am rarely spotted in anything other than a sweater (usually over-sized), a scarf, and a nice pair of boots.  It's all so comfy!

 Are you a comfy clothes fiend like me?  What is your go to outfit for the colder months?
