Freaky Fashion Friday

Since I seem to be on a pumpkin kick today, I thought I'd start our Freaky Fashion Friday, where we highlight certain costume ideas and innovations, with this amazing vintage Halloween costume. I found this cute little number in Country Living's recent Halloween issue. This Halloween outfit embodies the masquerade trend of masks, printed linen,and cone hats that happened back in the 1920's and '30's with costumes. I don't quite understand the carnival/clown fascination that seemed to take place in that era, but I love the look. Like Rachel Zoe would say, "I die."
The print on this outfit is amazing, so be sure to click on the photo to get the full impact.

Virtual Jack O'Lanterns?!?

Are you too busy to carve a real pumpkin? Don't have a stoop to display your ghoulish grinning gourds on? No worries! Just carve your pumpkin online! This SITE is my favorite as it allows you to send it as an e-card once your finished. Bloompetals allows you to choose different shaped pumpkins to carve. And spookathon has a more kids oriented virtual pumpkin carver. All of these sites are worth checking it. I love the animated flickering candles!

Pumpkin Village

Alison is an amazing pumpkin carver. She made a pumpkin village last year for her Halloween party. Carving Tip: Go to your local art supply store and buy wood carving tools. These are the best carving utensils you will ever come by. Much better than those cheap store bought ones.
