Here comes Halloween!

September 21, 2015

Here comes Halloween…Halloween, Halloween!!

Okay, so its not October yet, yes I know. But if you have been out shopping you have already noticed all the Halloween costumes and party stuff out in all your favorite retail spaces. With the popularity of Halloween only growing every year, I think everyone wants to take advantage of getting ideas out there for your Halloween costume this year.

Ever since I was a little girl, we have always celebrated Halloween. My mom always dressed up too…so maybe that’s why I love it so much. This year is no different and I have lots and lots of fun posts this month for the sole intention to give you ideas for your costume or party.

I’m so excited and gitty to share what I got in store for you. Especially for the moms out there that want to participate and just don’t have the time to put something elaborate together. I will be sharing DIY Costumes, costumes you can make with your existing clothes, and make-up tutorials (hoping I get enough courage to do a video at some point. I’m not a 20 something with great skin and seeing it on video, yikes! But we’ll see if we work out the right lighting and it might help a little?) In the meantime, definitely will share tons and tons of photos.

I put this post together to share some of my favorite Halloween moments in the past 4 years or so. Most of the pics were from my office Halloween parties, where all our kids got to come in and we would have a big ‘ol Halloween bash. As you can see I’ve been really random things, but they were always fun to put together. From an Emo Octopus to a Happy Flower, Sweet Poodle to a Foxy Fox…all were fun to put together and somewhat unexpected. I look forward to getting request for a costume you want me to do. I will pick one later in the month and do it. So keep the suggestions coming!

We are not an extremely religious bunch, so Halloween doesn’t have a negative tone for us. We celebrate creativity, imagination, and fantasy with this holiday. And that is what it means to us. I enjoy taking on a different persona and playing a part for a few hours. The joy and fun that it brings to my kids is priceless. We look forward to this season every year. As soon as its over, they start considering next years costumes!! LoL?

robot cousins and miniBaby Seli_PumpkinsCousins Halloeen CutiesThe kids get to pick out whatever in the entire world they want to be and its up to me to make it happen! Big responsibility!!

When they were younger, I got to decide what I wanted them to be, and It was just getting them to look as cute or cool as possible.(I’m not really into scary costumes ?) Then they went thru a phase where they wanted their costumes only store bought and not handmade??.  Well, yes, that broke my heart. But then that meant more time for my costume I suppose! ?

And know I’m happy to report they are back on DIY’ing their costume. They can now appreciate the uniqueness of making your own costume and feeling special because no-one else is wearing what they have on. It’s a lot of fun putting something together with my kids.

 

DIY_Halloween costumesThe do-it-yourself component of creating a costume is the most fun. For me, it allows me to creatively problem-solve many parts of a costume, like, fit, will weather be a factor, comfort, etc. And now, with today’s technology & everything being at your fingertips for how to solve something, the ideas and concepts fro costumes are endless. I can’t wait to share all the fun ideas I have for this season and will work really hard to make it as easy for you as possible to look your best at your next Halloween event!! ??

Cheers!!

    Lily!

    I wanted to say congratulations on your blog! I have to admit I am still hoping for a reality TV show (move over KUWTK the Sarinana sister are taking over!) Your blog is amazing and quickly became my go to page/treat to browse every day.

    Anyway, I have a costume idea for you, how about doing a jack in a box? like the ones that pop out of the boxes you crank.

      Thank you so much!! Reality TV? Really? No, it would be boring to watch, my sisters and I aren’t big on drama. Thank you for following though, I appreciate it. And that is a great costume idea, thanks for the suggestion! Stay posted this month to see if I make that costume…❤️

    Hi Lily!

    I love love love! the evil queen costume. You’re suppose to be Ursula correct? A few of my friends want to dress up as Disney’s Villains this year for Halloween. I want to try and pull this one off. Do you mind giving me a few fashion tips on how to pull Ursula as a costume I love the tentacles that you added to the costume. The color of the wig throws me off however, I LOVE the brightness to it.

      Thank you glad you loved my Octopus Costume! Its not Ursula though, just a random octopus costume.? The tentacles are the trickiest and time consuming part. Check out this video I found that might help you with your costume. Ursula Costume vid
      Sending you all the best! ❤️
