301 days of silence, but I'm back, and bigger than ever!
Thanks so much my lovelies for all your support and cries for DESIGNISTA posts. I love you, and though it seemed like I was ignoring you, I so appreciate the love and constant support. It's so nice to hear that I made a difference in your lives, even if for a minute or two a couple times a week :)
Looking forward to doing it some more. Nothin' like a lil' Amy Davis energy, creativity, and let's face it, some craziness added to your morning blog surfing!

Halloween Decor Galore: Finished Product
Unfortunately my camera doesn't focus in the dark. But at least this gives the idea of a lounge-like set up we were trying to create.
I loved the crow, and would have put them everywhere, but only one made it in the shopping cart. The lone bird. The skull and bust was also a fabulous addition- 75% off for $6!!!
Leave it up to Kyle to break out a skill saw for precision cuts.... Typical man!
Center table with the cutest little glittered gargoyles..... disappointed you can't see it here in this image. (tomorrow...)
All in all, it was so much fun. Planning parties is literally one of my favorite things to do. More posts to follow tomorrow, regarding the planning process. Hope you like what you saw!
Cheers!

Costume's Galore: Part 1

Dream Costume: Pin Up Girl (on a budget)
These American Apparel shorts caught my eye when I was walking down 16th street. They were featured in the window in red satin. I knew I had found my key piece (that is not me by the way!) But the question was what else was I going to add to it. I knew I had to wear stockings of some sort, but what about the shirt. Something strapless? Corset? Halter? Off the sholder? I searched high and low, and then remembered this shirt in my closet.
With the wide black patent belt and the gigham shirt from H&M that I bought for my 28th birthday outfit........ A perfect little pin up ensemble I must say!
What in the world was I going to do with my hair????? I looked all over the internet for images that could portray this look, and alot of them are variations on how I already do my hair, with curls and pulled up. I wanted to do something really out of the ordinary, and chose this boufant style with a sash pulled up around my head. Cute right? I had to do a practice run, of course. Just like when I was young and used to sit in front of the mirror practicing hair and makeup! :)
Fishnet stocking are essential to this costume. Not only are the shorts super short, but it will be cold. I need a little warmth:)
At first I was going to buy new shoes, but remembered these shoes I bought and have only worn once. Why not reuse them? They are not a perfect match with the shorts, but who will be seeing that slight difference in the black lights?!?!?!
Happy Halloween! It is getting close ..... two days!!!!!!!!
Cheers!
