Quick & Easy DIY Halloween

Oh my goodness, I am sad. Halloween is one of my faves, and I always love dressing up. But this year, all of my ideas from cute (pumpkin) to downright cheeky (sixteen and pregnant in a cheerleading uniform) fell flat. With 24 hours left and absolutely zero drive to sew, assemble, purchase, or otherwise source a costume, this mama-to-be if officially opting out and planning to park a bowl full of candy outside the front door.

I did manage to give my nails a nice vampy look for the weekend!

…And I thought about getting a witch’s hat and wearing this — I’d just a Pregnant Bitch. Maybe it wasn’t the friendliest idea ever…

I’m sure that all of you pretties have your selections made and are getting pumped for a fab night on the town. While I suck down a caffeine-free Diet Coke and munch on the Reese’s I stole from the Trick-or-Treat stash, dressed in all black, I thought I’d share some fun inspo from around the web.

Love, love, love this. So utterly chic and simple. His outfit is great, too. If you’re having friends over for cocktails, you can create this serving look by coating dollar store trays with chalkboard paint and voila!

A super-shiny nail lacquer in blackest black with two creepy little eye balls? So fun. And easier to create than you think. Dab white polish on with the end of a pen, then black inside with a toothpick. Done.

Loving all those gorgeous painted and stenciled pumpkins you’ve seen on Pinterest lately? Yeah, me too. But that was not going to happen in my house this year. Instead stack some minis in glass canisters and call it a centerpiece. You can also send guests home with one as a party favor. Cute!
