Happy Halloween!

This post is a little late – whoops! Trick-or-treating has ended and Halloween will officially be over in less than an hour. Maybe I should title this post Happy Belated Halloween.

I really wanted to go as a matador this year, but I’ve been so busy with school work that I didn’t get a chance to put together my costume. *Sigh* It would have been so fun wearing leggings with pink tights and carrying around a stuffed animal bull. Maybe next year!

I took this photo on my phone so I could show Lar my new Missoni for Target shoes (thanks Eli!). I’ll get a better photo of them later this week.

Outfit details: H&M sweater and skirt, Missoni for Target pumps

Dear Lar,

Did you have any trick-or-treaters at your flat? We had one – a teenage who wasn’t even wearing a costume and just held out his bag without saying anything.

Ah well, at least mom’s table top decor got me in the Halloween spirit:

And so did Alison’s pumpkin carving party where I made this monocled, mustache guy:

What are your plans for Guy Fawkes Night? I want to see photos!

xoxo,

Cath

  1. monocled mustachioed pumpkin? that’s adorable! We had a couple of kids go up our door and try to pry the screen door open. Sadly we didn’t have any candy because. we forgot. Seriously, we thought that the kids would be trick or treating on the weekend, but it turns out, they’re all over the place today! eeeek!

  2. wow, only ONE trick-or-treater??? i had 12 and i thought that was kind of sad. but i never had trick-or-treaters of my own. i remember growing up we would have like 90+. craziness! so now i have a TON of left of rice krispie treats. 😛
    i LOVE your pumpkin! i made a really sad attempt of carving mine the other day. the stupid pumpin carving knives i bought at target broke! BOTH OF THEM! so.yeah, it looks pretty crappy. *sigh*

  3. A matador, Kitcath?! That is genius!!! And a little stuffed bull – I love it!!
    That has to be my favorite pumpkin carving of all time. You always come up with the most creative things to do — I never can.
    We didn’t have any trick-or-treaters, but we went out to Tesco last night we saw a bunch of wee ones running around dressed as fairies I think — pretty cute. The older kids mainly dresses like zombies: white shirt and fake blood. I think they are still easing into the Halloween traditions here – apparently it only took off within in the last 3-4 years ago.
    MISS YOU!!!
    LOVE,

  4. Very good jack o’lantern. Although with that mustache and monocle, maybe we should call him James o’lantern. Is he one of the 1% pumpkins?
    Bill and I did a science experiment with our trick or treaters last might. I had a large bowl, half filled with Reese’s-the big ones-and half with tangerines. We told each visitor to choose. Two of the children, a princess and a pirate, actually chose the tangerine. That was about 15%. I was surprised by this result. Didn’t think I’d get any takers on the tangerines.
