Keep calm and Unicorn!

What I love about the “fall” weather here is that we can actually celebrate Halloween. Growing up in Oregon the only thing scary about Halloween was it always rained! Thus my costume would be covered up by a rain jacket or an umbrella while I was trick or treating.

Halloween is also my favorite holiday. I love to get inspired by different looks on YouTube, Pinterest, and Instagram. Now that I have a little goblin (kid) it makes it even better because we can celebrate and make magical looks together. Not to mention as a big Bonus Lena just so happened to be born on Nov 3rd, so I think every year we will just have a costume party for her. My goal is to have a collection of cute dress up looks through the years of Lena and I. Then when she is 18 I can embarrass her by having a bunch of t-shirts made of us over the years!

Last year my besties came up from Oregon and as families we decided to do animal themes. My family was safari themed Lena was a lion, husband was a tourist, and I was a safari guide. Besties were rich chicken farmers with a chicken and other besties were park rangers with a bear.

Not to Mention Pumpkin everything; pumpkin muffins, pumpkins spice, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pie and jack o lanterns. Sense my little ghoul is so young we just bingo dabber, sharpie, or finger paint our pumpkins.

This year I decided sense unicorns are so popular to create a simple unicorn look.

  1. So fun! I love unicorns. I also had problems around Halloween growing up in Idaho. We were lucky if it hadn’t snowed… it was Suu could that we had to wear sweat pants and puffy (80s style of course) jackets.
