Fab Fete: How to throw a Halloween Party Without the Color Orange

For those of you gouls and goblins looking forward to Halloween, this post may just inspire you to host your own Halloween soiree.

Here’s how to glam it up at your next Halloween bash without having to rely on the traditional orange and black theme.

All these stationary sets are available through TomKatStudios on etsy.com.  Isn’t it great that you too, can achieve such professional presentation all with the downloadable click of a button?  My last post listed my favorite free printable party downloads.  The ones shown here are available at half-off.

I just love how TomCat perfectly pairs one of my favorite prints, damask with some elegant touches of black and white with a pop of purple.  THIS is how an adult halloween party should be decorated!

The party circles are so versatile.  They can be f&b toppers, envelope stickers, labels and tags.

Here’s how TomKat’s team put it all together.  I like the dessert table below but could have done without the sconces and bat trim.

All above photos are from Laura Winslow.

I’d decorate this party with black feather wreaths and garlands from Pottery Barn- maybe use the feather garland instead of the bat garland pictured above?


I’m also loving the idea of black chandeliers with this dark, glamorous party.  Here’s my fashion meets decor collage for this party.

What do you think?

I’m going to be in Germany for Halloween this year, so this halloween party is simply a fantasy for me.

OCDecorating -continued

As a continuation to my earlier post about how I’ve been obsessively and compulsively decorating ever since my recent move, my latest obsession has been how to make my living room more fab.  Lately I’ve been glued to my Brocade Home catalog and have been ravenously eating up the images on their blog.  Brocade home totally follows my design aesthetic and love of damask prints, with metallic accents, chandeliers and clean modern furniture mixed in with more ornate pieces.  I felt I had walked into heaven on earth when I found their new showroom in NYC.  If you haven’t been there yet, you must check it out.  Limelight (yes, the old church turned nightclub) in Chelsea is now the holiest shopping center in NY with boutiques inside a beautiful cathedral setting.  And best part about it is that it has a Brocade Home showroom!

The foil wallpaper is so glam, isn’t it?  I was thinking about putting a similar one behind my chocolate colored sectional and adding silver cushions.  During my online research, I ran into another fab decor and bedding company called Angelinas Curtains and Beddings. Their bedrooms are boudoir-like, there’s usually a chandelier in the bedroom and always some sparkle in the bedding.  Check these pics from their website out.  I would love any of these rooms!


Though they’re based in the UK, they do deliver worldwide!  What a collection huh?  Ok all this dreaming about fantasy bedrooms at midnight is getting me ve-ry sleeeeepy.  Time for bed so that I can dream about my new living room!
