i have something to admit...i have watched the victoria's secret fall 2010 fashion show more times than i can count...but EVERY time the segment that truly captivates my attention is the jungle scene.  my love for all animals translates amazingly to skins/prints/fur/feathers and i cannot seem to get enough! enjoy the eye candy!! xo

go go dancer costume - aa leggings - guess black pumps

another halloween has come and gone -- and i can say that this year was just as fabulous as the last four in santa barbara.  i went over to my friend's house on the mesa and passed out candy to the millions of little minions that came by while sipping "skeletinis" and muching on boo chips and pumpkin cheese balls. altogether, fabulous!

how fantastically cute is this?!?!?!?! thanks Tastyland!!!! x

halloween is finally here!!! woohoo! this year i was/am going to be 1. little red riding hood (pictured above) and 2. a 70's dancer. as of 11 am yesterday i was feeling very uninspired so i capitulated and dragged my kitty friend of Tasteyland SB to one of those MEGA costume warehouses...i was pretty successful (albeit boring) and i came out with the biggest TIP ever...

if you are small (read: small boobs & rather short) and don't want to pay the $78 for a silly "adult" costume...visit the CHILDREN'S section of the store. this gingham dress was marked as a "tween" costume and was the exact replica of the adult version only for $35! i had to splurge!!

to create my look: use LOTS of black eyeliner, MAC fake lashes and tons of GLITTER (when else is glitter {on your face} appropriate besides jr high??) i added a tutu petticoat for poof (again, appropriate only on halloween and raves) and VOILA!

to create the cat: BLACK EYELINER and the biggest MAC lashes that they sell - trust me the lashes were amazing and brit went for simple chic (really, our creativity was pretty low yesterday) and found kitty ears, a tail and the most precious little gloves at Clair's [gag] for $6. pretty nice.

i am doing a little brain storming for sunday {i can't be so lame/unoriginal on the actual day of halloween!!} so stay tuned for an awesome costume coming up!! xx

the sky hangs in a delicate balance of burgundy and tangerine and the air is stagnant with desiccating gusts of wind. the santa ana winds have arrived.  for everyone who has not suffered through a fall of these treacherous coastline dry heat spells, i envy your rain and snow and sleet and humidity.  normally, these terrible days begin early in october and finally give way to nippy days right around halloween, but i guess the weather gods are a little behind this year. 

it comes as quite a shock that halloween is already a week away - so tonight after meeting up with the girls for a little wine and tacos, i was itching to get my hands on my costume box and get the brain juices going!! i haven't decided entirely what i am going to be but i grabbed this mask and i'll probably stick it on (it has a headband) wednesday night for happy hour!! 

duke hated this mask. this is evident in the blood blister scratch under my left eye. ughhhhhhh. xx what are you guys dressing up as?!
