Make your pumpkin work double-duty!  Slide a vase into the cut opening and add flowers.  Have a party theme?  Mine this year, is BOO-tiful Halloween Bash, so I”m writing ‘BOO’ with a black sharpie.  What would your message be?  6a013483ab2426970c013483ab3428970c-800wi

Show off your brand loyalty with some creative carving.  This is not for the novice pumpkin carver!6243903509_869b0a6ba6

If you’re on the artsy side, whip out some puffy paint and create ornate designs transforming your everyday pumpkin into Pinterest-worthy art!picture-1614

If you’re less artsy but still want the unique look, stick on some jewel stickers and you’ll be the talk of the neighborhood!picture-6008

If minimalism is more your style, buy a white pumpkin and let the inner orange shine through.  picture-8058

Have an old pair of lacy pantyhose?  Simply slip one on to your pumpkin for a sexy, sultry look!DSC_1243

If carving is not your thing, consider applying washi tape or ribbon to your pumpkins.  Mix the patterns of ribbon and keep the placement standard like the picture above for a cute, curated look!6243879741_ee8da32e97

If bling is more your thing, stick-on crystals will make your pumpkins shine!glitterpumpkins

Spray adhesive and glitter can do wonders for adding glamour to your Halloween!

You could also paint a dollar store pumpkin white, search for wallpaper images online, print them on regular paper and decoupage them onto your pumpkin.  It’s kind of like wallpapering your pumpkin!

Lastly, what’s better than an Anna and Karl pumpkin duo?  Think outside of the box, and add accessories to your pumpkins to really make them come to life!

Fashion For Sale: Pink Ruffled Vintage Dress

Guess what ladies, I’m cleaning out my closet which means that there will be some fashion for sale!  I”ll give each item a week’s posting here before turning to ebay to sell my goods.  The first item is a vintage pink ruffled dress that I last wore on my trip to Longwood Gardens in PA.

I wore it here with my silver Prada Saffiano bag and silver ballet slippers but the pink also looks great with white, Tiffany blue, nude, and other pastels.  You could even rough it up by pairing it with a black leather jacket to counter all the girliness.

I loved how the wind kept blowing it up, creating a totally new silhouette.

The dress features cap sleeves and a ruffle-front blouse.

I couldn’t resist having a little fun in the garden while there 🙂

I’ll take best offers but starting bid must be $20 or more.  The size runs like a size 4 (elastic waist fits a size 25”-28” most comfortably) and the dress comes with a matching pink striped tie belt in the same fabric.  You can tie it as a bow in the back like I did, or wear it over a cardigan or another top to literally tie the whole outfit together. Here’s a shot of the back – sorry the flash washed out the color.

So start bidding and don’t forget to leave me your email if you are leaving me a comment else I can’t contact you!
