Some Burberry inspiration for us all today. If I were rich I would live in these clothes, they are perfection. For some reason I always enjoy the Pre-Fall collections more than the regular Fall collections. Interesting.
I wore this outfit last weekend for a very busy day. I started off grocery shopping, then headed to Roundabout Resale where, luckily, I didn't find anything I liked. Then I went to the Historical Christmas Barn with my sister and her boyfriend with the intention of buying some adorable Hot Skwash velvet pumpkins and ended up buying a fun reindeer ornament, Comet, by Patience Bruster. Sadly they didn't have any of the small pumpkins in the colors I want (purple & maroon.) After that it was off to Marshalls and Trader Joes. The day ended by going home and carving pumpkins with the family! I made a Harry Potter pumpkin, he's so cute - see!
I took the opportunity to wear a fun new cuff that was sent to my by Fibi and Clo, it is so "me" because it has a lion on it and we all know what that means - GRYFFINDOR! Ha ha. It always goes back to Harry Potter. Anyway, they recently launched a closed shoe line with a few of adorable ballerina flats. My favorite is the leopard, of course. They are mainly known for their super cool line of sandals which come in a wide range of styles. The lovely folks over at Fibi & Clo also sent me these amazing Monoco sandals, such a shame that it's too cold to wear them at the moment. But I can wear them walking around the house until it's warm enough (see below!)
Cape: b chyll (Roundabout Resale), Hoodie: Hollister, Jeans: Free People, Boots: Eighteen68 'Megan' (Gilt), Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Saks Friends & Family Sale), Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop) gift card, Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage & Mom's, Necklace: Geoclassics, Lion Cuff c/o Fibi & Clo,
A couple shots of the sandals:

How is it already November 1st?! This is insanity!! I hope everyone had a great Halloween. I just went to my parents house after work, had dinner, watched Wheel of Fortune and It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and then went home home to watch TV until bed. So exciting, right?!
I'm so glad it's sweater season again, I do love wearing all my knits! Speaking of them, I just snagged an awesome new sweater from Madewell for $35 (regular $88!) Unfortunately the color I bought (Navy and Purple) sold out, but there are 2 other color options. They're having a sale that goes through tonight - just enter code SWEETSALE for 40% off sale items and free shipping! :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!
Here's my Halloween 'costume!' Can you guess who I am?....no one? WILLY WONKA! Willy Wonka is one of my all time favorite movies and over the Summer I realized I had all the pieces to create a girl version. I always call this purple blazer my Willy Wonka jacket and this ASOS dress from a few years ago has a print just like on his shirt. Meant to be, right?! All I had to do was buy some ribbon so my mom could make me a big bow. I decided to forgo the cane, but I did pick up a hat on eBay.
I'm not actually going anywhere but I thought it was fun and I'm wearing the outfit to work today. Minus the hat and bow, though I will bring them in my tote bag in case I feel like putting them on.
Dress: ASOS, Jacket: Gap (Coco's), Bow: Made by Mom, Hat: eBay, Booties: no.704b. (DSW)
And here's the inspiration:

Last year I did a series of outfits inspired by Halloween films, today I'm re-sharing a bunch because I enjoyed them so much. The dress featured in the last post is still available at The Outnet (when I first did the post it was at Net-a-Porter!)

Let's talk Halloween movies, here are my favorites! I've been watching them since the end of September, gotta get in all my viewing before Halloween is over. Well, the Halloween focused ones, some of these aren't exactly Halloween themed, but they bring the spirit. I will probably have watched each of these at least three times this month and countless times in my movie watching history. What movies are on your list?
1. Casper: Do I need to explain? Casper shows that kids movies back in the day are way better than junk they make now.
2. Hocus Pocus: I could watch this all day every day. Perfection. (although I could watch most of these movies a million times and never get bored, but that shouldn't take away from it's awesomeness!)
3. Beetlejuice: Ghosts, a goth Winona Ryder, what else do you need?
4. Teen Witch: An 80s classic (starring Blake Lively's older step sister), I wanted to be Louise when i was younger and would get so excited whenever this came on TV. Luckily I own it now so I don't have to worry about that.
5. Halloweentown Series (except the third...I don't like that one): They are based on Halloween and a girl who finds out she's a witch, so obviously you need to watch them.
6. Harry Potter Series: no explanation needed.
7. Clue: This is a hilarious movie based on the board game. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
8. The Black Cauldron: One of the scariest Disney movies I've seen. The Horned King would give anyone nightmares! I love old Disney, especially the ones hardly no one knows about, like this gem.
9. The Last Unicorn: This was one of my favorite movies when I was little and remains so today. There are so many amusing things I never noticed when I was younger; you'll see what I mean when you watch.
10. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: It's about candy, so obviously you have to watch it on Halloween! Not the creepy Johnny Depp version though....
Bonus: Have a Merlin marathon! Love this show so much. If you're a fan of the King Arthur legend you'll love this show, it just finished a 5 series run and shows Merlin and Arthur as young boys.
UPDATE: Lydia pointed out that I forgot Practical Magic...oops! Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as witches, with some scariness thrown in. This movie is about as scary as I go (there's one scene that totally freaks me out still)
