The Itsy Bitsy Spider

The clock is ticking away and in less than three days we'll all (hopefully) be dressing up for Halloween! I have a last minute Halloween week #manicuremonday for you all to use or be inspired by!

You can do the candy corn nails, or the new 'bloody' trend, OR you can come up with something completely original drawn by your own hand. The nail art pen I've used for manis in past posts is great for any kind of design, as opposed to previously made decals that can't be changed. I drew up a classic creepy style for Halloween week: graveyard theme. 



One hand covered in cobwebs, the other reads R.I.P. Personalize this idea yourself, the spookier when the lights turn off the better. 

What better way to match graveyard nails than to pair a cobweb look alike sweater with neutral 'tomb color' tones? Here's my fall weather approved/tombstone inspired/manicure Monday outfit.






This time of year leg warmers are obviously a must.

button up: american eagle (mens)
sweater: guess
jeans: my pretty denim by cache cache
necklace: ralph lauren @ buffalo exchange
leg warmers: wet seal
shoes: candie's @ kohl's

Giant, shapeless sweaters may leave you stumped as to how to wear them. Instead of just layering the same white tank top underneath why not try a patterned button-up or a flannel next time you cozy into the knit holes.

#shoesdaytuesday

Happy #shoesdaytuesday !

So I went thrift shopping the other day and stumbled upon these gems.. it was love at first sight. Obviously I had to make them mine and $19.50 later the two of us have been spending a lot of time together.. I see this relationship going places. Here is my favorite way to wear them.


Shoes like these should be accentuated so if you're lucky enough to find a quirky pair of flats in your shopping excursions try lots of black and neutral patterns.



jacket: forever xxi
blouse: paper crane @ marshall's
leggings: target
leg warmers: wet seal
shoes: misbehave @ buffalo exchange


OR

Try your luck in a completely opposite direction and allow the shoes to be a mere fragment of an overall expressive outfit.


Sweater: DIVIDED @ h&m
tee: mr. chips @ buffalo exchange
jeans: jennyfer
necklace: ralph lauren @ buffalo exchange
sunglasses: topshop


shirt: rolla coster @ t.j.maxx
skirt: one clothing @ t.j.maxx
tights: memoi @ marshall's
hat: michael kors
necklace: you & i @ emporium's costume jewelry


headwrap: claire's
sweater: weathervane (vintage)
necklace: forever xxi
tights: marshall's


**Warning: These shoes will not actually make you fly. If you are looking for means of levitation please stop by your nearest convenience store and pick up a Red Bull or buy yourself a one way ticket to Hogwarts.


Thanks for reading!
