As we gear up for All Hallows Eve there will inevitably be a few of us who've let the costume planning fall by the wayside (okay, so that's me... oops). Luckily, I'm here to help! Still searching for the perfect disguise and only have time to pull pieces from your own wardrobe (or looking to buy items you can reuse all year)? I've got you covered.
The iconic opening scene of Breakfast at Tiffany's is a wonderful place to start. If you have a classic LBD (Who doesn't? You definitely should.), a few statement jewels and an affinity for pastry + coffee, this costume is for you. Holly Golightly's scene-stealing style will keep you looking chic all night long (go ahead, do that Monster Mash!).

Some days are far less than perfect! Although that's true for everyone, I feel as though I've had a string of bad days back to back to back. Even though I've been a bit down lately, I'm beyond excited for the things that I have coming up: Leah Bergman's blogging workshop (Freutcamp) this weekend, Halloween, returning home to Alabama...
So, my question is this: how do you turn a rut around?!
They don't call me Chelsea & The City for nothin' (actually, nobody calls me that... ever). I have a major affinity for New York City and every Fall I get the sudden urge to set up shop home in a Manhattan brownstone. My current favorites for my imaginary life in the city? A quirky welcome mat, a wear-anywhere coat and some serious stilettos!
