Happy Halloween Everyone! Every year I go through the motions of should I buy a costume or should I just use clothes that I already have to make a costume? This year I chose to use items in my wardrobe that I already had to create my halloween costume as Sandy from Grease.  I already owned this amazing off the shoulder body suit from Express which comes in so many colors and is so comfortable and easy to wear. My half leather leggings are from Paige Denim that I got a few years ago with my mom at Bloomingdales. During the winter this is a great piece for when I want to have something that is a little bit fancier than just plain jeans, but also as comfortable as a pair of leggings. If you don’t have open toe shoes like the ones I am wearing just a plain pair of black pumps or boots or heels will do the trick! When I went away to Kansas this weekend I didn’t bring these leggings so instead I wore a pair of black mid rise jeans and paired it with my Gucci belt and a pair of leather booties with a leather jacket thrown over it. It is super easy to just use things you already have in your closet to dress up. For example one of the popular halloween costumes that I saw this weekend on facebook was to be a member of Fifth Harmony in their work from home music video. All you need is a pair of denim shorts or even a pair of overalls and a plaid shirt with a brown belt. Honestly, who cares what shoes you are wearing with some of these outfits they normally get cut off in the picture anyways 🙂 Hope everyone has a great Halloween and even though I am too old to go out and get candy I will get a bag from CVS for myself in honor of the holiday <3

Steals & Deals: Halloween

Happy Friday everyone! We all know what that means: It’s time for some steals & deals but this week, halloween style! Right now if you go to party city online and order any costume they are up to 80% off! They have done this in the past and yes they do get you on the shipping because who doesn’t want their costume on time? BUT I have heard people that have gone into the store and they show the online price and if you get a really nice in store employee they will match the online price! Another great place to get a cheap halloween costume is Target! Yes, Target! One of my friends went to Target and got footie adult pajamas and because it wasn’t considered a halloween costume it was a fairly good price and they had a ton of sizes left for her. For me, every time I go halloween shopping I never seem to find a costume in my size since by the time I figure out what I want to be there is nothing left. Another great place to look for costumes is on Amazon. If you are a prime member this is the day to use it and get it by Monday for halloween. If you are like me and live in the city, check Prime Now. Since there is a warehouse right outside the city I am sure they have a lot of inventory on hand for the holiday. Can’t wait to see what everyone dresses up as. Check out these links below for some great costumes:

Happy almost Halloween everyone! In honor of the upcoming holiday I thought what better way to honor today’s hump day treat recipe then have it be halloween themed. One of my favorite things about halloween is obviously the candy, but as a kid I always was searching for the house with the best stash. I am sucker for anything that has M&M’s in it because they are honestly one of my favorite candy.  Here is a a really cute and easy recipe complements to Tasty from Buzzfeed that incorporates M&M’s.

 

Ingredients:

½ cup of butter

4 cups of marshmallows

8 cups popcorn popped ( regular no flavor)

1 package of M&M’s chocolate the harvest blend (you can honestly do any flavor you want)

1 cup white chocolate

1 cup dark chocolate

1 teaspoon orange food coloring

 

Directions:

  1. Put the package of M&M’s in the freezer for 15 minutes so they can be firm before using.
  2. Melt butter over medium heat. After the butter is melted add the marshmallows. Stir constantly until all of the marshmallows are melted. After remove from heat.
  3. Fill a large mixing bowl with the popcorn. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and mix around with a spatula gently!
  4.  Add the M&M’s and continue to mix gently with a spatula
  5. Take a cookie sheet and grease it or you could also use parchment paper and grease that over a cookie sheet if you’d like.
  6. Apply a thin layer of cooking spray or oil to your hands and grab a handful of the popcorn mixture. Gently form into a ball and place on the cookie sheet. (Repeat this step until all the mixture is gone)
  7. Place the popcorn balls into the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set.
  8. Melt dark chocolate. Once cool spoon into a small ziplock plastic bag.
  9. Melt White chocolate. Stir in food color evenly. Once cool spoon into a small ziplock plastic bag.
  10. Remove popcorn balls from refrigerator
  11. Snip the corner of the dark chocolate bag to create a spout and drizzle evenly over the popcorn balls. Repeat with the white chocolate.
  12. Return to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set chocolate
  13. Then place in cupcake tins if you wish and on a serving tray and ENJOY!
