As told by Jessica Steele. Based in NYC.
This weekend was the perfect balance of productiveness (a California driver’s license and new VW Jetta were equally important and exciting) and laid back fun (enjoying carved pumpkin’s in our backyard, attending a costume party and window shopping down Rodeo Drive). Check back tomorrow for the complete pumpkin decorating marathon that occurred at our house over the past couple of days!
Tonight I’m finally carving/decorating my pumpkins with a few friends, and I plan on playing this ‘monster mash’ playlist to set the mood (upbeat yet a little eery). Plus pumpkin rice krispie treats and pumpkin beer naturally. I like a good theme. Pictures of our pumpkin beauties to follow!

I’ve been there – the classic ‘it’s 2 days before Halloween and I don’t have a costume’ dilemma. Happens to the best of us. The above cinematic characters can all be pulled off with little more than your boyfriend’s button down, a few key accessories and some well styled hair. For Breakfast at Tiffany’s ignore the expected pearls and LBD and go for Holly Golightly just waking up. Wear the button down backwards, a slightly undone up-do, her signature sleep mask and black pumps. For Edward Scissorhands, cut up the shirt a bit and then use the scissors as hands (be sure to wrap them in foam and silver duct tape pre-party), add tight black leggings, combat boots and extra wild hair. Serious procrastinors: Tom Cruise in Risky Business is your guy. Throw on a pair of Wayfarers, men’s socks and hit the road.
