Pumpkin King

Vixen by Micheline Pitt Pumpkin King Maneater Wiggle Dress in Black
 
The big day is finally here: Happy Halloween!  Although I'm excited for the day I can't help but get a little sad because I'll have to wait until next summer to start counting down the days again.  Luckily, I live that spooky life year round!  This Pumpkin King Maneater wiggle dress from Vixen by Micheline Pitt is the perfect dress for Halloween but can easily be worn all year.  Pumpkins might have their moment in the fall but I think they should be worn all the time!

The Maneater wiggle dress is an absolute dream.  It's made from a structured but super stretchy fabric called bengaline, so you look fabulous and feel comfortable.  This dress features a structured bust area (seriously, it's like a bra), adjustable straps, wiggle skirt with a back slit, and a removable grommet belt.  I comfortably took my usual size small.  I know a lot of people like to size down in this dress but I have wider hips that could always use the extra room!  This dress is available in sizes XS-4X and it also comes in a swing dress version if wiggles aren't your thing.  Also, you can grab 20% off this dress and lots of other Halloween styles with the code HALLOWEEN at checkout.  Make sure to click HERE to check out the sale offerings and shop while you can, this sale is only until November 3rd!

Tonight we'll be joining the neighbors for an outdoor block party.  We have a potluck going, lots of trick or treating, and a bar for the adults.  Considering last year we didn't go out at all, Bianca and I are ready to live it up (safely, of course) and make up for last year!  What are your plans for Halloween?  Let me know in the comments!

Pumpkin Spice

Vixen by Micheline Pitt Bardot Beauty Swing Dress in Orange Pumpkin Gingham
 
All things are better when they're pumpkin flavored... including this Vixen by Micheline Pitt dress!  Her Halloween collection this year is to die for (pun intended) and her classic Bardot dress got a bit of a pumpkin spiced treatment.  While the Bardot has been around for years, I've never actually tried one on until I ordered this dress.  Now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long!

Shoes- Modcloth

The Bardot is made from a thick cotton sateen and features cap sleeves that can be worn up or down, a wide neckline with lace and bow detail, below the knee length gathered skirt with pockets, back zippered closure, and a removable black grommet belt.  I'm almost always a size small in all Vixen pieces and I happily took a small in this dress.  It's super comfortable but also structured, so you get that vintage inspired fit without the need of vintage undergarments.  As you probably know, I am obsessed with this Halloween color way but it also comes in a black and white and pink and white gingham as well.  All Vixen's offerings are available in sizes XS-4X and they're currently having a sale on certain Halloween items!  If you live that spooky life everyday like I do, this sale is an absolute treat!

Today is my BFF Sammi's birthday!  She lives on the other side of the country and I haven't seen her in years (thanks to the pandemic) but her day is always worth celebrating, near or far!  She hosts a birthday giveaway on her blog every year, so make sure to check out what she's offering this year.  Hint: it's really awesome!  You can read her blog and enter her giveaway HERE!

Racing Hearts

Sarsparilly x Peanuts Best Friends Forever Jumpsuit and Racing Hearts Jacket
 
October in Southern California is definitely my favorite.  The weather is still pretty warm but you can layer up if needed.  As someone who is always cold, I tend to have a sweater or jacket with me at all times.  I love the combination of this jumpsuit with the faux leather jacket from the Sarsparilly x Peanuts collection.  The jumpsuit is cute and comfortable and the jacket is for those sparse chilly breezes.  You can read more about this adorable outfit below!

The Best Friends Forever jumpsuit is a slightly stretchy cotton sateen and features a square neckline, thick straps, below the knee capri style pants, velvet covered buttons, pockets, a removable grommet belt, and a zippered closure.  I love the cute Snoopy print, which is perfect for my next trip to Knott's Berry Farm.  I usually take a size XS in Sarsparilly items but I sized up to a small because I have a long torso and wide hips.  I'm so glad I did because the fit is fantastic!

The Racing Hearts jacket is a great classic piece with a Peanuts twist.  I love the red contrast zippers, heart shaped elbow patches, heart print lining, and the adorable Snoopy image on the back.  The jacket is heavy enough to keep you warm but light enough to wear on a not-so-chilly day.  I stuck with my usual XS in this jacket and it was perfect.

You can find this collection on the Sarsparilly website right now!  In addition to these pieces, you can also find a skirt, dress, and a cardigan.  Everything is mix and match so it's really cute to be able to create your own Peanuts outfit depending on your silhouette preferences.  Make sure to shop your favorites now, everything is currently 50% off and selling fast!  Make sure to grab what you want because the sale ends on Saturday!

Happy Meowlloween

BlackMilk Clothing Meowlloween Black Toastie Long Sleeve Skater Dress
 
Last week my family and I drove up north to the mountains to enjoy Yosemite National Park and the cooler weather.  I don't get many opportunities to wear anything with long sleeves so I grabbed my new skater dress from BlackMilk Clothing to enjoy a chilly and spooky day in nature.  I love their new Halloween collection (seriously, it has everything you could ever want) and I'm so excited to partner with them to show off this adorable dress!

The Meowlloween long sleeve skater dress is made from a fleece lined toasty fabric that's super stretchy and comfortable.  This dress has full long sleeves, a scoop neck, above the knee skirt and hidden side pockets.  I'm wearing a size small (my usual size) and I find it to be comfortable.  I think I may have gone up a size for extra bust room but I'm quite happy in the small.  This super cute Halloween cat print was illustrated by Caley Hicks, who is known for her amazing art (some of which you can find at Disney).  I'm so happy with this dress and I'll be rocking it during the Halloween season and the winter ahead!

You can shop the entire BlackMilk Halloween collection HERE right now!  Find everything from Beetlejuice to Corpse Bride and anything in between in sizes XXS-XXL.  While BlackMilk is located in Australia, their shipping is faster than most US-based companies!  Do you enjoy a good Halloween novelty print?  Let me know in the comments!
