Halloween Night 2: 50s girl

On Saturday night, Raleigh and I were supposed to dress up like Sandy and Danny from Grease but he liked his Breaking Bad costume so much that he wanted to wear it both nights..I know, right? I didn't want to be Sandy by myself so I threw together a 50s outfit at the last minute. My friend Fallon helped me with my hair and lent me a dress & I was good to go! A simple costume, but I felt pretty and classy. Fallon was Pee Wee Herman (how great is that), my friend in the bottom photo was Marie Antoinette, and you can probably tell what each of the boys were. 

To be honest, I'm kind of glad that Halloween is over. I loved dressing up, but I'm ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities to begin! Bring on the food, Christmas music, decorating, and snow!

Halloweekend Night 1: White Swan

It is so strange to me that today is actually Halloween, because I am sitting on the couch watching Rachel Zoe on account of being EXHAUSTED from Halloween festivities this weekend! Not to mention the drive home from at 1 am last night after Ral and I went to a show in Seattle & my early wake up call to read & study before class. I was invited to a dance party tonight, but this couch is feeling pretty comfortable...we shall see. 

Anyway, these are from Friday night. One of my roommates & I did Black Swan/White swan--dancing around in a tutu and feathers was so much fun! It was my 5 year old dream come true. So girly and fun. Raleigh was Walt from the show Breaking Bad (seeing your boyfriend in a bald cap is always a bit of a shock), my other roommates were Katy Perry and a forest fairy, and my friend Michael was Andy Warhol--just thought I'd show you guys a few of my favorites from that night. A costumed outfit post, if you will. Night 2 costumes coming tomorrow!

What were some of your favorite costumes from the weekend?

ps: I put this costume together for about $18: $3 for the feathers, $1.50 for the felt they are on, $10 for the tutus (I bought 2, for extra booty coverage), and $3.50 for the tights. The leotard belongs to my roommate. Score!

my true love gave to me:

a Partridge in a Pear Tree, and one of the three French Hens.
